Interview: Braid - Modern Fix

Interview: Braid – interview by pr!   Before everyone had a white belt and played semi-pop indie rock, there was Braid. Emotional lyrics with technical music. And before I could even have a chance to really enjoy them, the Braid bubble popped and the band members moved on. Bob Nanna (vocalist/guitarist), Damon Atkinson (drummer) and Todd Bell (bassist) joined up with guitarist Mark Dawursk (shortly replaced by Michael Shumaker) to form Hey Mercedes, while Chris Broach teamed up with Andrew James Hawthorne, Benjamin Wilson and Steven J. Lamos, starting the Firebird Band. What’s easy to observe about each bands material is that they both sound like ½ of Braid, but both are good in their own way. And just as we all got used to not having our Braid and absorbing Hey Mercedes and The Firebird Band, now Braid is back on tour again.
