Yay, a Dexter reference!

Anyway, last week I was able to interview Sam Roberts. Well, Steve Tanner actually did the interview, but I helped film it, along with Brent Swance and Matt Viveen.

People keep asking me how I managed to get the interview, and are surprised when I tell them that it was easy as visiting Sam Roberts’ website. I guess people expect that there’s some secret to getting an interview. In reality, most musicians enjoy being interviewed because of the publicity that it provides.

As expected, Sam was a pretty chilled, relaxed person. The interview went quite well, Steve asked some good questions and the lighting worked out really well. The only negative is that there is some echo in the audio. Other than that, I’m quite happy with how it turned out.

An added bonus was that we got tickets to the show. The band was pretty awesome live. I was also able to film the first few songs, and that also turned out well. I used a shotgun mic, and I was surprised by how good it sounded.

So all in all, it was a great evening and the finished story will be awesome. Interviewing Sam Roberts has made me ambitious. I hope to interview Alice Cooper when he is in Kitchener. I have my doubts about that one, but you never know.
