Meet The Music: Teen Idle
Where can fans listen to your music online?*
www.teenidle.bandcamp.com
What three albums are most inspiring to your band?*
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds from Another Planet
What was the first song that you wrote together?*
Sara here! I do all the songwriting for Teen Idle myself as it's a solo project. It's in the live setting where I'm joined by the lovely musicians Sara Wojciehowski, Nicky Adem, and James Sleeman, who make up my live band.
Can you explain the meaning behind one of the songs on your latest album?*
It hasn't officially been announced to the world, but you heard it here first! My next album will be called 'A Heart So Tender' and will hopefully be dropping by next Spring. One of the songs on the new record is called "California Cowboy", which I ended up writing after going to California on tour in a different band I used to be in. California's landscape and topography continuously inspires me. At the time, I was also about to go to Nashville for the first time and was in a serious country music phase, which is what this song emerged out of.
What is your favorite thing about Asbury Park?*
The vibrance of the community, and how the town is so small yet you're constantly meeting new people. And Kim Marie's! Long live.
What is your favorite MOGO Taco?*
If I wasn't gluten-free I'd say the beef taco but I'm still going to say the beef taco even though I usually order the beef bowl.
