TerraNova
storms the world from the Emerald City (Seattle U.S.A.) A love for performing live,
and a crushing guitar-driven engine featuring Dawn Lindsey & Tori Farrow - vocals,
Doug Samn - lead guitar, David Salwitz – Bass and Rico Ybarra on drums leaves
all but a few stone-deaf or dead fans begging for another hit.
I
caught up with Dawn Lindsey near a
back-door alley after a concert. The lovely crooner refused to talk to me at first ... until I
showed her the ten pounds of C-4 plastic explosive taped under my "dripping"
trench-coat. (It pays to be aggressive!)
Then
it was like … sure I’d love to.
*You
have two female vocalists in your band. Does this ever cause cat fights within
the group or with doggedly persistent fans?
Only at rehearsal when Dawn
gets bossy - then Tori wants to kick her ass.
*Your
group hails from the Emerald City (Seattle) home of Rock Gods like Hendrix etc.
Who? What? are the major influences you try to avoid?
Mackelmore &
Hole and being/sounding too commercial, we want to express ourselves thru the
music and be authentic.
*Say
the hotel you stayed in after a performance has just burnt (or been torn) to
the ground. What do you tell the cops /investigators when they arrive?
Rico
got tired of playing the rods instead of sticks and lost his mind. He's feeling
much better now though.
*Your
band has been kidnapped by satanic worshipers from Brooklyn or some other
doorway to hell and they demand a member of your band as a sacrifice … who will
it be?
Dawn because she needs new material similar to UFO but closer to
earth.
*Where
was the most outrageous place you’ve ever played? … and when are you going
back?
The Rock N Roll Marathon 2012 - we were on the back of flatbed
truck about 50 feet in the air on Seattle's viaduct. Windy rainy and
dangerous!
*No
rock band I’ve ever known is ruled by committee. Who decides whether a member
of your group lives or dies professionally speaking (No, not Mafia!)
Dawn
& Doug hold the veto power in TerraNova since they founded the band. But
other than that, their careers are their own!!
*Describe
your best three minutes (excluding sex) … unless you provide a tape.
The
first 3 minutes of live radio doing an acoustic set ... was very cool!
*Are
any of your group vampires … can you prove it?
Yes, Tori is! We have a picture of her trying
to eat Dawn's face.
