Because you’ve worked on three albums that were conceived as a trilogy. And that helps, that helps to balance out things even more. In the early years, we had to figure out a lot of things. And the main thing that’s different in the songwriting process is it’s happening a bit faster now. And I think that the way we work now is for most of it the same.Īnd although we have a new guitar player, he is very good at telling everyone what it’s all about, what happens, what’s happening in some ideas. Because a bass player and a guitar player are very important in the sound of the band. And you have to revisit your older tracks and see if they still work. How has it been to make the lineup evolve, I guess with that way of working together, it went smooth, right? Stone:Yes indeed, because I think between that interview I read and now, you changed at least the guitar player and then the bass player. Basically, that way of working is still how we do that. And you know, we try to react to an idea and then see where it ends. It’s really everyone working together and especially expressing himself freely without any kind of filter to make the thing going forward. That the way you’re working as a band is that you’re really all working together, there’s not one guy bringing especially something for the others. Stone:Yeah, because I think that’s something I read in an interview you guys gave a few years ago in Berlin to another French blog. So this is a good opportunity to try them out here. And then we decided, we have three new things and two that are somewhat ready for the stage. So when we got back in the rehearsal room, we brought it back in. Sander Evers:Those ideas were already there. Stone:And so those new tracks you’ve been working on, when or how did that work? Stone:And so in all that time in between, you’ve been like, on and off again, in a kind of break? Sander Evers: For these shows? One week ago. Stone:And so when did you start to get together again? Like in a rehearsal room and prepare for that? Yeah, actually four because tomorrow, we play two gigs. And we have three gigs in a row this weekend. And then we’ll see when we may get together again. So let’s take a break, and do what we like. And at one point in time, I said to the guys, I don’t want to do three rehearsals and then quit, and then wait, and then start the whole thing again. But then again, we started working on things, and then we got another lockdown. Stone:And that’s tracks that you’ve been working on from a distance? And in the meantime, we created a few new tracks, which we’re going to play tonight, actually. So we had a few things that were still on the agenda. But on the other hand, there were a few options for us that we could try, like live streams. So we did a few, let’s say, creative things over the Internet, trying to make each other enthusiast about the new ideas.īut then we discovered that we were really a band that needs to be in the same room, interchanging ideas to get to proper music.
And in the first few months, there was no option to do a proper rehearsal. So we did one gig with Jason, the new guy and then everything stopped.
Because prior to the corona lockdown, we changed our bass player. Sander Evers:Well, let’s say it was a hard time. Stone:So how has it been for Monomyth for the last year and a half, couple of years, with the lockdown and everything? Stone:Hello Sander, so, you are from Monomyth, and this weekend we are at Down The Hill in the north of Belgium for finally, a real festival again. Check out also the nifty pictures from their gig that day, courtesy of Mrs.

You can check out the full video of it, or read the transcript right below. So today we’re presenting you our interview of Sander Evens, drummer of Monomyth (and a couple of other kickass bands). I did a few lives on our Facebook page that you might have seen back then, we’re working on a full report with pictures that will be published soon.īut we also got the opportunity to talk with two of our favorite bands of the line-up, Temple Fang, and Monomyth. Rifffox, we took our tickets as soon as the omens seemed to align for this cool festival to happen and we managed to bring you back some bits of it. Finally, a glimpse of hope to a return of the natural order of things, music, gigs, and happenings as we used to know it, and love it, before the shit hit the fan in Spring last year. With the numbers of Covid going down, and the restrictions loosening up, the small DIY festival of Down The Hill could take place, with only a few basic safety rules, and no social distancing. At the end of August, in the small village of Rillaar, something wonderful happened.
