FOrever the sickest kids’November 16th, 2009 • Austin: Chalkboard Confessional
Alternative Press features Austin on Chalkboard Confessional:
It’s a big week for FOREVER THE SICKEST KIDS. While they’re currently crisscrossing the country on the Cheap Date Tour, they’re also celebrating the release of their new mini-album, Friday, which is the first in The Weekend series featuring three discs dedicated to the end of the week. It’s the first new music from FTSK since their 2008 debut full-length, Underdog Alma Mater. Considering their music so far seems to borrow themes from high school, we thought we would check in with bassist AUSTIN BELLO to find out what his experience with music was like during his own high school years.
INTERVIEW: Lucy Albers
What’s the first show you ever went to?
The first concert that I ever went to was Warped Tour in, like, 2000 with Caleb [Turman, guitar]. I remember crowdsurfing to New Found Glory’s “My Friends Over You” on Warped Tour, and it’s still the first concert experience I have in my mind.
Did your family have much influence in what you listened to?
One time, when I was first starting to write music, my dad took me to his room and said, “Son, if you’re going to start playing music, you have to listen to this.” Then he put on “Freebird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. It’s the one that goes [singing], “‘Cause I’m as free as a bird now, and this bird you cannot change.” You know that one? And then there’s this, like, 14-minute guitar solo. Dad said, “Son, if you want to know anything about music, you have to listen to this solo,” and blasted it in his room. That’s the first experience I remember of him telling me anything about music.
When did you start playing music?
My mom and my grandma played piano in church and everything, and my dad’s side has a few musicians in it. I just remember I was sick and stayed at home for, like, a week with pneumonia and saw a guitar in my mom’s closet. I was in, like, seventh grade at the time and I said, “Mom, teach me how to play guitar.” She showed me three or four chords, and after that, I basically taught myself. I couldn’t stop playing music.
