URB Magazine : Amazing Baby :: New Brooklyn "It"
Band Might Save NYC's Rock Reputation
 

Photobucket

Fresh from a canceled photo shoot and literally lost in the June gloomy underbelly of West LA, the boys that spawned Amazing Baby are seemingly enthusiastic to finally hop out of the late model Chrysler SUV. (Apparently there was a mix up as far as a meeting destination for this interview). And they've still got the rest of the day ahead of them, which includes more press, pictures, and video stuff. Pretty much, all of this has come quite quickly for the members of Amazing Baby, having just formed a little over a year and a half ago. Last year they were just bunking it with ashtrays and cockroaches, but now according to them, things have just slightly upgraded.

URB: So what's going on guys, tell me where you guys reppin'?
North East New York almost, Brooklyn pretty much.

URB: Seems you guys have been pretty busy lately, what do you guys have that lies ahead?
Rob: We don't have much spare time.

Will: I occasionally like to go to bars.

Rob: Record shopping

Matt: I went to the sauna last night. That was quite enjoyable. I worked up a pretty nice sweat.

Simon: Semi-liquid foods. soups, queso

Will: Well, in New York in general, my life is just pretty much put up between socializing and the working on the band really. I don't think I do anything else. I wish I had some more hobbies. I like working on art projects unfortunately or fortunately i'm only near or surrounded by the band.

URB: You guys seemingly have a lot already under your belts. It has basically gone from The Infinite Fucking Cross (an EP) to Rewild being only together for under two years. That process is usually a lot longer. How did the album come about?
Will: The reason to do an album is I guess you wanna have enough music and you usually need to have enough interest to do an album and both of those just happened sort of quickly with us. I think it's because we started the band as a recording project. So within the band's first three months of existence we had three or four songs on the internet making the rounds and that gave us the opportunity for us to keep recording and to play more shows pushing the momentum forward to getting an album out there and because of that, the album recording processes took like an entire year.

Simon: We just started recording an album, playing live came second, as things happened, we were forced to play live, okay not really more like asked, but an album was basically in the works the minute we thought of it, we started this band.

Will: There were aspects or tracks but not like whole complete tracks, they're like small tracks on an album track that were recorded during the first band practice ever, during the band meeting. So it's pretty much gone to demo to recording the entire album the whole time.
