An Interview with Sean Bones

Though you'll have to wait another week for the full concert performance, this exclusive interview with Sean Sullivan - aka Sean Bones - provides a taste of the icky sticky, white boy grooves he and his band dispensed at Piano's last month.

An Interview with Sean Bones Well, it started last summer. I recorded the Seven-Inch single of a couple reggae songs that I had sitting there on the house. And then, I just recorded them, as kind of just a project to give to my friends and maybe put in my time capsule with the year of 2008. And then, I spent a lot of money putting into final. So, I’ve reached out to some friends to get to the show and I end up getting a record deal, and I just ended an album two weeks ago which is an extension of the reggae projects that’s covering. Well, I think that Bob Marley legend compilation sells like more records than, you know it's one of the biggest selling records ever sold. Reggae is on everybody’s mind but, I think I was just playing so much rock music and so many rock bands that – I found a note, just coming home and after a practice or after a tour, I would just feel okay, and turning off the guitars and I’m just going to mellow out to some reggae music. And it’s got such a nice history in it, lines up and influences a lot of the more rock bands I like, and I’m kind of bore and I’m obsessive. There is so much to go back and check out, and it’s really rewarding area of music to a lot of your time and then trying to as hard as I could to keep it recording a style that they did then. So this is live as possible and into a lot of tape using only 15 tracks and if we did that and we’ve played all the songs live and I had to spent like a month for them adding, step on and singing and calling a bunch friends that help me sing and play other instruments that I haven’t play and stuff like that. Well some of them are just like, they were so new. They were written for the studio and some of them were arranged in the studio, which is something I’ve never done before. And there is so new to me that I can continue listening to them and just be like, oh, that’s a cool song like I barely even know you have a song. More than anything, the lyric stuff is probably shows the influence of just this spectrum of music I listening like for the old roots guys. There was like one thing to sing about which I just think would be so easy if it was just like, you’re calling to sing about Jah Rastafari. And that just write a song like the Beatles do about girls or something like. It’s what I ended up happening. I was so much more focused on just the arrangement of the song and making myself smile like in the first five seconds where it sounding like immediately a specific thing is what I was trying to do. I always try to do and write this out. I just like it to be a reggae, some or for people that wouldn’t normally expect to be having one this year. I mean, you expect that a lot of people are going to like your music and forget what you’re doing. Yeah, you know every week, gets more interesting. So hopefully, it keeps doing that for sometime now. Hey, this is Sean Bones and you can watch me, rock my birthday party on baebelmusic.com.
