He quit his salary job last year as a chemical engineer to become a professional musician after only one year with the band.
sa国际传媒淚 want to do this forever,sa国际传媒� said Thisdale. sa国际传媒淚 feel pretty good, but I have to sit back and re-live it once and a while because itsa国际传媒檚 still such a tough job. I am always working and finding the next gig. Sometimes I forget to celebrate, itsa国际传媒檚 been an incredible journey so far.sa国际传媒�
In 12 months, the band has opened for The Trews in Kamloops, had its new three songs produced by John-Angus MacDonald of The Trews, and has written another song with Colin MacDonald of the Trews. The Carbons have also released their debut album, August Ash stamping the groove rock band into vinyl and digital history in May 2018. The Carbons are also regulars on line-ups at local venues in Kelowna.
On their journey to climb to the top of the music charts, The Carbons acquired a new drummer with Paul Minor taking over the seat at the helm of percussion left by Natte Murdoch.
Thisdale said he has concocted the perfect formula for the bandsa国际传媒檚 musicsa国际传媒攁 little bit of fun, some heartfelt lyrics and a good hook.
sa国际传媒淚 think it has to be a mix of the shallow and the deep,sa国际传媒� he said. sa国际传媒淚 think life is much too short to be shallow all the time and have beers and get drunk and say dumb things all the time. But itsa国际传媒檚 also too short to be serious all the time and become a 24/7 philosopher. I think you need to find a balance of those and I think that is pretty obvious in our first album.sa国际传媒�
The energy the band brings on stage is driven by its memberssa国际传媒� passion to climb to the top of Canadian charts and have their name held in the same regard as The Trews, The Glorious Sons and The Tragically Hip.
