I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to interview Denver based hard-rock band DYKOTOMY for an episode of LIVE @ Higher Ground. This series gives local and touring bands a professionally filmed and edited video with professionally mixed live sound recording. We started this series for two reasons:
1. To showcase musicianship in a way not often seen. LIVE @ Higher Ground gives the viewer a behind the scenes look at what it’s like to be in the studio with a band and what it takes to make that live performance great – LOTS of rehearsal. We want the viewer to see the personality behind the band members in a (sometimes) adult oriented way. We don’t ask the safe questions, we want the tour stories, the real meat and potatoes of what’s going on with a gigging band.
2. The other reason behind LIVE @ Higher Ground is to show Colorado-based and touring bands, that HGRS is more than a “practice space” We’re a state of the art rehearsal studio that cares about our local scene and it’s musicians. We take care of our bands in a way no other studio does, we want our bands to succeed in this industry in any capacity they can-from weekend warriors, hobbyists and full time musicians. HGRS is a place where musicians can sit and talk business after their rehearsal, ask questions, hang up their show posters and even collaborate with other bands.
