For Day 30, we take you back to an interview with  alternative dark hard rockers, September Mourning at NAMM 2015. We met up at Blackstar Amplification booth and are pleased to bring the interview to you here:   September Mourning is: September – Vocals Shadou – Bass Riven -Guitar Wraith – Guitar Stitch Drums   September Mourning has been perfectly described as ” Marilyn Manson and Lady Gaga had a kid, it would be September Mourning”. September is quite a passionate character as you will see by her character unfolding in the 12 song album. September explains, “For me, the project is a story, a theatrical art piece,Music is the backbone, but for this to work, it has to include the imagery and the narrative all symbiotically linked into the whole. Music taps into your innermost being. There’s something very intimate and personal about it. “ Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news.

I must tell you that my highlight of NAMM was not meeting a certain musician even though all that I met were truly wonderful in many ways. It was not about catching a concert and discovering a new band, even though I did get a chance to do just that and will tell you all about that in a future post. It was not about the parties or the dinners, those were incredible as well. My highlight was just at the tail end of NAMM. Only an hour before the entire show closes, did my highlight come. I had been so busy during the week and had missed catching Tony Harnell at one of the booths earlier and on Saturday night [Read More]
