Hello Keymakers! Fill us in on what is new in the world of
the Keymakers?
Red: We released our first ever EP, Spectra, about a month
ago, so that is still pretty fresh. Now we’re kicking off our first tour ever
this January! Beyond that, this EP release has allowed us to connect with a lot
more fans in different parts of the world who have heard our music, and that’s
been a LOT of fun for us. Next up is some remixes for the EP, and we’re working
with some DJs and producers we’re super excited about, so look out for brand
new releases within the next couple of months!
We saw on your IG the Live sessions of songs from your album
Spectra. Very cool vibes. What inspired you to do these on Instagram?
Rome: Thank you! We’re music fans first and foremost, and our
favorite thing about the artists we love is being able to see them do their
thing in their element – whether that’s seeing them work on music behind the
scenes or seeing them perform. So even when we don’t have performance footage
to post, we try and let people into our processes and show them as much of us
in our element – that’s what our IG page is all about – because that’s what
we’d want as fans.
You have announced you are going on tour this year. Tell us
more about that.
Red: The Spectra Tour is a chance for us to play the songs
from our debut EP as well as a ton of other stuff we’ve prepared. We’re playing
14 shows in 5 states, including stops in Baltimore, New York City, Philly, and
Boston, where we’re based at the moment! Set times range from 45 minutes all
the way up to 3 hours, so we have a ton of material to play, a lot of which has
never been heard by anyone but the two of us. We can’t wait to get out there on
the road, connect with fans, make new friends, and share this set with the
world.
Do you all get set stage fright or anxiety? If so, how do you
combat that?
Rome: Definitely a bit, yeah. It’s a vulnerable place to be
forsure. The worst part of it is just before the show, though. Once you’re up
there and doing your thing, most of the anxiety fades – so it’s just bursting
through that initial bubble. Also, it’s definitely nice to have someone you
trust up there with you – it takes a little bit of the pressure off!
I know this is going to be tough, but if you had to pick one
– which of your songs you have released or yet to release if your favorite?
Rome: Yeesh you weren’t kidding. If I had to pick, I’d say
‘Remember’
Red: Tough one for sure! For me it’s ‘What You Wanted’
Tell us where we can catch more of your music and support you
