- The first song we wrote, which was just "Wolf I",
we still play it.
I don't think there's been a show where we haven't.
It's the first song we wrote, and we still play it
to this day, so obviously we like it a little bit.
[Laughs]
It is a fun song to play.

- I think the best way to get exposed to what's going on
in your community, especially musically,
is through an event like Jackson Indie Music Week.
Sometimes it can be hard to maybe find the right shows,
right venues to go to, or you talk yourself out of it
and decide to stay at home, and then complain about it
later on Facebook that there's nothing to do.
[laughs]
- Yeah, right.
- But things like Jackson Indie Music Week
are perfect opportunities to come out and see all at one time
all this different kind of music that you can then follow
throughout the rest of the year.
And see what these musicians are up to.

- I'll be at home on the back porch with an acoustic
writing a song, writing lyrics, and this and that,
kind of getting the bare bones of it and then bring it in
and Murph usually arranges it,
and that's when it becomes a Spacewolf song.
We've done that with all three records so far.
We're recording our third record right now
which is fully written and almost half-way recorded.
We look forward to getting that out.
- That's kind of how we work.
Like when we get a song going, all of us are really,
I don't know if it's bad or good,
but we throw everything and the kitchen sink at it at first,
and then we start pulling stuff away.
- All the layers back.
- Instead of adding, we tend to subtract.

- This new record that we're doing,
really, I think we've got a good handle on showcasing
what he's singing about.
- It's more song-oriented.
- It's very much more song-oriented.
Like when we were doing the preproduction,
there was a lot of me working on stuff after hours and going,
you know what?
Don't play any drum fills on this.
Just keep the beat.
There was a lot of stuff that we did that is really,
it's lyrically-driven on this record.
It's much more singer/songwriter, if you will,
but still sounds like Spacewolf.
Don't get me wrong.

- Playing a place like CS's is really great
because it's very organic, the band sounds like
what the band is supposed to sound like,
and I think people in the audience can tell
at shows like that.
They can definitely tell if you're not having a good night
up on a big stage.
But they can really tell when we are having a good night
at a place like CS's.
- It's hard not to be sincere in a small place.
- Yeah, when you're right there.
- If you're on a big stage, if you're not -- like he said,
if you're having a bad night, people might not notice.
But when you're right there next to each other,
people know if you're playing for real or not.
