The Alcohollys, featuring Kittie drummer Mereces Lander, recently performed a live session for 94.9 CHRW Studios in London, Ontario. Check out the footage below:
Lander spoke with Fierce Magazine back in October 2014. An excerpt is available below:
Q: Were there any catalysts that motivated you to take your destiny into your own hands?
Mercedes: "It’s funny because there was really never one thing. For myself it was more like a chain reaction of events that set everything in motion, and as I said earlier I was always running around acting crazy anyway so I was more or less just being myself. Although, playing Canadian music Week in 1999 made us realize that things were becoming super serious, we really didn’t have a defining moment."
Q: What are the top three hurdles, road blocks, speed bumps or epic failures you encountered on your journey to where you are today? Did any of them almost stop you?
Mercedes: "I would think being a woman in general, being young and being inexperienced were the three biggest road blocks for us. Because of these three factors it was very hard in the beginning, and even now, to be taken seriously. Although I think being women and being super young also helped us a lot as well, so its a double edged sword."
