DOM Interview
by Alison on August 09, 2010
When I was approached to do an email interview with DOM, main-man of the band DOM, I was immediately stoked. This guy is the definition of an enigma. He won’t disclose his full name. His songs are some of the most creative and different tunes out right now. AND he has some weird fascination with llamas (check out the MySpace and you’ll see what I’m talking about). Sure enough, DOM was as enigmatic and funny as I thought he would be…
Alison: What’s the story behind how you all met and came together to form DOM?
DOM: i met bob in december. we were gonna put together an electronic project but decided to start a band instead and started tryn ppl out. erik was a tryout that seemed to work out at the time. i wrote the song jesus and it picked up on da blogs so we put together a 7 song ep to keep the hype goin. met cosmo at a honky tonk night in bk
A: For those who have never listened to DOM, how would you describe your sound?
D: idk how id describe the sound really. we've only been a band for a short while so we're sill developing but right now i like writing surfy riffs, cosmo shreds em, bob makes em dancey and erik rounds it all out
A: How has living in Worcester, Massachusetts—not associated as a musical epicenter—influenced and affected your music?
D: Worcester has been super supportive and fun. there are a lot of creative ppl here and theres always something to do.
A: The content of your songs, i.e. “Bochicha” and “Jesus”, are uniquely personal yet widely relatable. What sorts of experiences or topics are you drawing inspiration from at the moment?
