Interview: KSM

I had the awesome opportunity to send over some interview questions for up and coming girl band, KSM, to answer. The girls talk about how they came up with their name, their influences, how they got started, what they rock out to on their iPod and more. Check out the interview below:

How did you come up with your name?
Sophia: All of our names start with a "K" or an "S" and the one thing that brought us together was music hence the "M". Music is everything to us.

How old are you?
Shae, Kate, and Sophia- 18
Shelby- 16
Katie- 15

Do you play any other instruments besides what your primarily play for the band?
Kate plays drums in the band but also plays violin and guitar.
Sophia plays bass in the band but also plays guitar and is a serious piano player, having started lessons at age 4.
Shelby and Katie play piano in addition to the guitar, which they play in the band.

Who inspires you as a group?
Katie: Powerful female musicians and artists of the past and present... for example The Go-Gos, The Bangles, Pat Benatar, The Runaways, Pink, Paramore, Meg and Dia, and No Doubt.

Who are your musical influences individually?
Shae: Sick Puppies, Breaking Benjamin, Paramore
Kate: Travis Barker,
Sophia: Meg and Dia, Alanis Morrisette, Lou Reed
Shelby: Cyndi Lauper, Janis Joplin, Billy Holiday, Michael Jackson
Katie: Meg and Dia, Pink, Missy Higgins, Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Who would you like to collaborate with?
Shelby: We would love to work with Demi Lovato, Honor Society, Paramore, and Jonas Brothers for sure. We really love their music and them as people.

Do you write your own music together or are specific members the ones who write?
Sophia: We actually all write and we're working on stuff right now for our second album.

How is it touring with Demi Lovato?
It's awesome. We are having such a great time on this tour and we really consider it a blessing to be on this tour. The fans have been great and so have Demi and David.

How did you guys form as a group?
Shae: All of us but Shelby originally came together for a project that Disney and The Go-Gos were working on. They wanted to put together an all girl pop band. Out of that we evolved into more of a pop rock band with more emphasis on the rock. The four of us were together for a year when we finally found our lead singer Shelby. That's really when we felt complete as a band and that's when we became KSM.

Are you interested in doing other projects?
Kate: I think there's always a possibility of each of us exploring some other avenues of entertainment. Katie actually loves to act and has done some different appearances on TV shows. Shelby and Sophia grew up involved in theater. Right now we're really concentrating on the band. It's definitely the priority at this point, but you never know what the future may bring.

What are your hobbies?
Shae: I don't get to do this alot but I really enjoy to go fishing.
Kate: Reading
Sophia: Creative writing
Katie: Photography
Shelby: Writing and sleeping

Before you go onstage is there something special you need or do before?
Katie: Yes! We all make the "rock and roll" symbol with our right hand. Then we stand in a circle and put our right hands in the middle, with our hands forming our band symbol, the asterisk. :) We then yell out the inside joke of the day. It's something that just brings us together before the show.

Do you use Twitter?
Sophia: We love Twitter!! We all have our own personal twitters and also an official band twitter. We want our fans to feel connected to us and this is a great way to do that.

If you want to follow us here are our twitter names:
Band: KSMOfficial
Personal:

shaepadilla
SophiaMelon
katiececiil
shelbycobraaa
katedangerous

How would you describe your music to people who may not know you?
Shae: We're an all girl rock band with a touch of pop. We love to have fun and we love to bring high energy to our shows. Our music requires fans that are ready to truly rock!

What’s currently on your iPod?
Shae: The Rasmus, Sick Puppies, Jimmy Eat World, Flyleaf, & Paramore
Kate: Demi Lovato
Sophia: Meg and Dia, David Ryan Harris
Shelby: Jonas Brothers
Katie: Meg and Dia, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Passion Pit

That is KSM. If you didn't know..well now you know! The girls are currently on tour with Demi Lovato and David Archuleta so be sure to check them out if you have tickets. Stream their music on MySpace.

New Artist: KSM

I haven't seen an all girl band since The Donnas and Lillix came out. There is a new girl band called KSM who are currently on tour opening for Demi Lovato. Shelby (lead vocals & guitar), Katie (guitar & vocals), Shae (lead guitar), Sophia (bass) and Kate (drums), since about what their teen world. You know boys, dating, texting, playing and partying.

These girls may be young but they definatly know what they are doing. Lead singer Shelby says, "Being all girl, all teen, we’re usually pre-judged. People don’t expect that much, but we usually convince the audience that we’re a legit rock band, not just a ‘chick band.’ KSM...5 girls taking music into their own hands and ready to show their generation what girl power is all about.

KSM covered Cheap Trick's "I Want You To Want Me" for the new 10 Things I Hate About You TV series.

Check out their MySpace to hear some of their tunes.

Love their music? Head on over to iTunes to download their EP, I Want You To Want Me.
