\"\"<\/a>\u201cIt\u2019s all important but the energy and chemistry need to be there everyone on the same page\u201d<\/p>\n

From Release: XCalibre were formed by seasoned music warriors in 2020 with a desire to share with the world with their energy, passion and thirst for greatness in playing rock with the volume knob turned all the way to the right.<\/p>\n

Spending the first year in lockdown writing and defining their sound and live show, they are now ready to let XCalibre loose on an ever-changing world. Their members live experience includes a very impressive international touring history in stadium venues along side Van Halen, Aerosmith, Drowning Pool, Karnivool, Amity Affliction just to name a few\u2026.<\/p>\n

We had Dan from XCalibre answer some questions for us about the band, their new EP, live shows, and much more. It\u2019s a pleasure to feature these guys as they are now one of the best things you\u2019ve never heard\u2026<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the basics; for those that aren\u2019t aware of the band, can you please give us the abridged version of the XCalibre story, and how you would best describe your music?<\/strong>
\nWell was initially just Vinny and myself writing and recording new tunes. Once we started releasing singles we needed to build the team so we got our old buddie Shane Evans who we used to play in other bands with and then Chris Miller who played in the traps of Melbourne with other rock bands. We believe we have a strong team with awesome chemistry. My music is a mix of hard rock catch hook\u2019s electronic and big riffs topped with melodic vocals<\/p>\n

Although you\u2019ve been on the scene for years in bands, can you now please introduce us to the members of XCalibre, and give us a rock \u2018n\u2019 roll fact or myth about each of you?
\n<\/strong>Guitar\/Vox\u00a0 Vinny Galactic \u2013 runs 5k a day
\nBass Chris Miller \u2013 was an extra in the movie anchorman
\nShane Evans \u2013 nearly burnt down our LA producers h house on the hills
\nDan Marazita \u2013 put the fire out<\/p>\n

In terms of your music you\u2019ve just released your new EP, so instead of giving us a standard review, let\u2019s say if you had to give us your best door to door sales pitch to try and convince someone to listen to it before they slam the door in your face, what do you say to them?<\/strong>
\nKnock knock
\nHey \u2013 there is a gift from someone special to you delivered by Xcalibre have a listen to your message.<\/p>\n

With your song writing, what do you consider to be the most important ingredients that make up one of your songs?<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s all the ingredients mixed in. It\u2019s all important but the energy and chemistry need to be there everyone on the same page<\/p>\n

Now this being EP 1, is this a hint to what\u2019s to come? Are there plans for future EP releases you can give us the scoop on?<\/strong>
\nCount Dracula can guide you to the answer or is it the Cookie Monster which one counts up from one ?<\/p>\n

So what bands did you grow up listening to and how did they help create the style of music that can now be heard throughout your music?<\/strong>
\nMe myself I love everything from FNM to 2 pac now there are so many bands I can\u2019t keep up<\/p>\n

In terms of touring, here\u2019s your chance to plug any upcoming shows, and for those that haven\u2019t seen you, how would you describe a typical live show of yours?<\/strong>
\nOur show is action packed full of entertainment and energy you can catch us on April 22 supporting Smashing pumpkins and Janes addition tix<\/p>\n

I know from your past you\u2019ve shared the stage with some big names, but for a bit of fun, say you get the chance to open for any artist or band in the world, who would they be and why?<\/strong>
\nHmm present .. Metallica
\nPast .. Led Zeppelin<\/p>\n

If you were to cover one song that no one would expect that you\u2019d cover, what would it be and why?<\/strong>
\nCalifornia love. The big riff rap and melodic would be killer<\/p>\n

Lastly, here\u2019s a chance to grab a magic lamp and from it you are granted three wishes for the band.\u00a0 They are:
\n<\/strong>1. Keeping it fun
\n2. Creative juice following
\n3. Long career<\/p>\n
