Today We’re joined by Paige, Scott, Luke and James from Placid who will be Opening our First Gig at The Brunswick Cellar Bar on the 10th of September! They describe themselves as “High energy noise for those who like to move”
So Placid, Tell us a bit about yourself? When did you start and how did you form? Did you know
each other prior? What would say makes your band different?
each other prior? What would say makes your band different?
We formed in Rye but James and Scott joined the band later when we moved to Brighton, and we
knew each other from going to gigs and other stuff. We like to be different but that’s not what our
main focus is really, we just want to do what we like and if you don’t like it that’s cool but our aim
isn’t to please a certain audience we just love what we do and play live really.

What do you hope to achieve through your band? Any inspirations or targets?
We just want to make good music and see people enjoy it and get something positive from it in their
lives.
lives.
Who would you say are your biggest influences?
We all listen to completely different styles of music, whether it’s the wytches or Janis Joplin we just
take our different influences and mash them together I guess.

Where did the name Placid come from?
We liked the word and that was it really
As a Punk Band how do you find yourselves in a modern day music scene that’s looking for new
things? Would you say it’s a help or a hindrance?
things? Would you say it’s a help or a hindrance?
We don’t mind about what’s going on in the music scene as long as we get to write what we like
that's all that we care about, there's a few great bands out in the Brighton scene at the moment
like Swanmeat, Libra Libra and Our Family Dog and as long as there’s good music that's all we
care about

You recently took a 3 month break from gigging? What was the reason and what have you been
doing in the meantime?
doing in the meantime?
Our original bass player and drummer were no longer in the band so we needed to find new
members and we wanted to make sure that they were not just great players but cool people as
well and we are really happy with the outcome of it all and we’ve been recording a new single for
the emerging compilation album with small pond so we are very excited for that as well.

You said you rehearse in a shed in the woods? What’s that like?
It’s great we liked the atmosphere of it and we got to be louder as it was outside
What would you say is the best moment you’ve had so far in the band?
Our single release gig for our song “popularity” was our best moment by far it was a great gig
And the worse?
When we aren’t playing
Do you have anything special prepared for The Brunswick?
You’ll have to wait and see
