All set for a killer show on the 4th of the month in a city cafe, Barefaced Liars shares some insights in a candid conversation. Read on!
What does music mean to you?
Its pretty subjective though. But music is something I do and plan to do more and more. Its much more than a profession for me. Its passion actually.
Has forming a band been a lucrative option in terms of money?
It does take time but in the recent years there has been an expansion in the music circle. We have performed and been a part of many corporate gigs and private shows, so money did come in. Also there are definitely many opportunities and sponsors for music promotion now.
How did your parents react towards your decision of forming a band?
Like all other parents, they too were apprehensive. But the fact is parents won't take you seriously till you take anything seriously.
You are merely five year old in the music scene. What are your comments on the existing competition?
We started playing in 2008 and since then it has been a serious business for us. Competition is healthy and we concentrate more on making independent music rather than feeling insecure.
What is the music genre you mostly play?
We play multiple genres, from Blues to Hindustani Classical we have done it all.
Where do you derive the inspiration for your original compositions from?
Well the topics range from personal relationships to social issues happening around and wide in the countries. Random but meaningful material.
Where does the name Barefaced Liar came about from?
Honestly we did not give too much thought for this name, there is no specific meaning. It implies to anyone in different situations and how we often lie (small or big) to escape any situation.
We leave it to the listeners for further comprehension.
What are your future plans?
The plan is to take our band on the International platform now. We have already been a part of a corporate gig at Thailand.
What is the most memorable moment as a band?
The first would be the launch of our debut album since it took almost two years to promote and is still yet to release. The second would be when our songs- Mirage and Glow received acclaim as semi finalists from the UK songwriters contest for 2009 and 2010.
Are there any disagreements within your band members? How do you resolve them?
When you are constantly surrounded by the same people there are bound to be conflicts and disagreements. But our conflicts are all constructive and a collaborative efforts which leads us to make good music.
