![]() Oridium: Well we listen to a variety of music. But hey…that’s the joy of being in a band!įMR: Who are your musical influences or mentors? So basically there are some colorful words thrown around if one of us doesn't’t like something. If I can then we take it to the rest of the band and Garon (bass player) and Jon (drummer) will start playing until we find something that rocks! But this can be a pretty interesting and entertaining process because 3 out of 4 of us are related and Jon is pretty much a brother. He usually comes to me first to see if I not only dig it but if I can put melody to it. Oridium: Pretty much what happens is Aaron (guitar player) will come to all of us with a riff. Oridium: A juxtaposed fusion of metallic strings and drums with the melodic lyrical styling’s of a true inspirational American poet.įMR: I am really digging on your song "Frivolous", How does Oridium approach the writing process? with a melody, a riff, or ? Cool huh?įMR: See, I learn something everyday, did not know that about the table of elements.So, If you had to in one sentence, define your music? ![]() ![]() The only thing was that we googled the name and a clothing company or something like that had it so we decided to change the I to an O. Told you we were nerds! Anyway, we loved the name and I believe it is liquid metal which is pretty cool. Oridium: Let’s see here….lol we are a bunch of nerds to put it nicely! We got the name Iridium for the periodic table of elements. Jon is actually an identical twin with our head roadie Jason and we’ve known them for going on 10 years! So we are surrounded by family.įMR: Any Story behind the Band name Oridium, or why you chose it? You are probably wondering why 3 of us have the same last name? Well Aaron and Garon are fraternal twins and I am their baby sister. The band consists of 4 members: Aaron Garcia on guitar, Garon Garcia on bass, Jon Rodriguez on drums, and me Lea Garcia on vocals. Oridium: We’re great! We are based in San Antonio, TX with our crazy weather. We are extremely excited about this interview because we were checking out all the interviews you have done with Bullet for my Valentine, Kittie, Eyes set to Kill and so on! So it is an honor to now be on that incredible list of bands!įMR: Well Lea, its an honor to have you.So how’s it going? Tell us a little bit about Your Band, - Lineup? #Tabber millard fullTheir debut signals the arrival of an outfit destined to make them favored sons of the Lone Star state."Feature interview on Full Metal "įMR: Hey Oridium, welcome to Full Metal Rock The album title For You reflects Dead Flowers’ gratitude to their fans and an earnest attempt to deliver something both they and the band can be proud of for decades to come. With a rare combination of humility, heart, and swagger Howe firmly holds center while, with a seasoned performer’s know-how, generously leaving each of his compadres room to contribute inspired complements. ![]() Very few overdubs and no instruments on the record that you don’t see onstage, were conscientious choices that reveal the sophisticated musicianship and rousing, nuanced arrangements dependably delivered in their live shows.ĭead Flowers’ seasoned players were assembled by lead singer and guitarist Corey Howe, who writes deceptively raw and gripping songs that slip on comfortably like the return of well-loved and long-lost friends. Solid contributions from every Dead Flowers member were deftly recorded and mixed by Jeffrey Charles Saenz at his Modern Electric Sound Recorders with enough finesse to produce a captivating record, and enough staying out of the way to avoid any studio-induced decoration that might have muddied the power and synergistic triumph of their individual performances. Something wild and indescribable happens when the Dead Flowers are onstage, and For You, their fan- funded (via Kickstarter), self-produced debut album, is a remarkable capturing of their tough, intensely satisfying live performances that serves up a polished, stand-alone listening experience all its own. ![]() Their live performances these days are mighty and intense, gritty, straight-edged rock with heavy country undertones and a healthy nod to Texas blues, and they’re just getting started.
