“Last night I saw LA LOM, which is a band I’ve admired digitally for a long time, but never seen them live. It was so much fun. I’m, as I mentioned, also a double bass player, and I just love seeing the double bass get put to work in an amplified setting. It was so rhythmic; such good dancing music.” - Sawyer Adler, the bass player for Stolen Gin (not seen here), who added he is also listening to music from composer Charles Wuorinen.Marcus Cocova|KTVQ
“I have a lot of jazz influences. Right now, I like the modern scene–Immanuel Wilkins, Joel Ross, those guys. I think, how we bring that to our music is during our live set. We like to pick sections where we play more syncopated rhythms or there are hits on certain sections where you can tell some of us have jazz backgrounds. We try to put it in there.” - Josh Farrell, the drummer for Stolen Gin (center), who added he is also listening to afrobeat artist Fireboy and rap artist Samara Cyn.Marcus Cocova|KTVQ
