Greetings! my friends

This week I bring you a very special interview!

Kristin Evegard the talented vocalist of Diablo Swing Orchestra is a súper band, with great sound, melodies, unique blend of styles! Kristin is a great singer, natural and beautiful!

Well my friends! I leave this interview!

Thank you very much! For this oportunity! 

In América Latina the Diablo Swing Orquesta is loved.

You’re welcome! I’m happy for this opportunity to speak with you and your readers.

How are you?

I’m fine thank you, I’m very exited to be a full time member of this band since I feel like
it's my own territorty music wise, but still feels fresh and challenging at the same time.
We’ve noticed that we share a lot of influences and that we hit it off socially very well from the start. It's such an amazing bunch of people to write music with!

Tell us your history, how you came to this genre musical?

Musically I’ve not been bound to a certain genre. I’m classically trained but have been
dabbling with a lot of genres in my past projects. Within the band we share the idea of
having a very wide musical frame when it comes to composing. I find it liberating and
really enjoy myself within this creative atmosphere. When I was asked to join the band I
didn't hesitate for a minute since I was drawn to the open mindness and the feeling of no
boundary when it comes to what the band can do musically.


What are your musical influences?

I think that I share the view of having favourite songs from every genre with the rest of the band. I've been listening to everything from rock to pop, folksongs and metal. Lately I've been stuck listening a lot to Tori Amos, Eric Satie, Susanne Sundfør and Muse.


What is your vocal training?

I havent undergone that much training but have always been active within choirs and been singing my whole life. I studied music at high school where I got vocal and piano lessons.

What kind of music you like inside of metal?

I haven't been a very active listener when it comes to metal before joining the band, but
I’ve been fed with different kinds of metal lately and I’ve come to appreciate the energy
within some of the bands such as Slipknot, Dismember and Entombed.

Darkzen: good choice, Death Metal! Another of my favorite styles! Slipknot mmm, good at first, then without comment  J

What motivation made you be the singer in DSO?

I really enjoyed the music I was presented to and I felt that I both could contribute to the band as well as learn from the experince.

What you hope to convey with the music and the Diablo Swing Orchestra band?

I hope that the band continue to break new ground when it comes to musical fusion that might not be the most common ones.

There is already an EP soon?

We’ve realeased a single in november and we’re very pleased with the response. We knew that there was gonna be a discussion about me not sining in a opera fusion but I’m confindent that many of the sceptics will be pleased when they hear the whole record. Just as previous ones we have alot of different kinds of songs in store and are very exited to present the results of the creative process later in 2015.

What message would you give to fans DSO?

I hope that they will appriceate the kind of new direction the band has taken vocal wise and I’m sure that the upcoming live performances will be a blast!

Thank you very much for your time and to hear from you! Anything else you would

like to share with us?

Make sure to keep an eye open for DSO concerts in a near future and see you on the road!!
