2013 ends with the Virginia based funk punk band The Mellish as our Band of the Month! Their unique blend of a plethora of genres captures the creative complexity that can only be found in our region, right up there with go-go and Dischord hardcore. We wanted to find out more about these guys that are sure to be heard more in the new year, so we got a hold of Rev. Eugene Sickles (keys/vocals,) General Longstreet (guitar/vocals,) Justin Price (bass,) and Markus Gerhard (drums.) Here they tell us about memories at Memories, influences, and keeping the story behind their name a mystery. Now onto the interview…

Catch the Mellish live this Saturday 1/4/14 at Memories Bar in Walfdorf, MD.
