O What two bands would you love to have opening for you? Keith - "We had to play some covers that show - we hated it." I was in a band called Stealing Providence at the time and there were couple shows left on the books for us, even though we'd broken up, so I just swapped out the Stealing Providence date with Livintrust." Matt - "The Brickyard, November 4, 2004. O Where did you play your second gig ever? Keith - "Guns 'N Roses, the one with Patience on it. Matt - "Mine, definitely, is Gretchen Goes to Nebraska by King's X - no question." "I'm hoping a snowboarder crashes into my drum set when we're playing," he adds, laughing, ".and maybe knocks over a couple of heatlamps or something."īarring any horrific accidents on the slopes, though, Livintrust will also be the final band to hit the stage at PLAY's 2nd Birthday Bash - and we caught up with Chirsky and Caro to field our two-centric questions in anticipation of the show.
"We're gonna be playing outside, with skiers jumping over our head with fireworks going on the whole time." "Livintrust is the featured band," Chirsky says. We're thinking fans will be hearing more of the former at their upcoming Mt. The album is loaded with songs that split the difference between polished power-chord chug and acoustic sounds, from anthemic rockers (like their PLAY comp contribution We Are In) to ballads like Fall and the confessional album closer Too Long. The band - made up of Chirsky, singer Art Loomer, bassist Justin Wade, and guitarists Keith Caro and Holden Truelove - has garnered a lot of attention since coming together in fall 2004, both with their live show and with Blind Drive. thanks to a live gig they played that wowed one of the sports network's staffers. In addition to their WCCC airplay, the release of their debut album Blind Drive, and a prime gig opening for Audioslave and Seether at Hartford Dodge Center, the band also managed in 2005 to land its songs on ESPN's Baseball Tonight and Gravity Games broadcasts. Snow - it's their biggest freestyle skiing event of the year."Īnd actually, having sporting events set to their driving, riff-heavy songs isn't anything new for Livintrust. "We auditioned for the Warped Tour about a month ago, WCCC is going to be putting another single in rotation, and next Saturday, we're playing the Mega Mother Hucker coming up at Mt. "We have some opportunities coming up," says drummer Matt Chirsky, the band's spokeman as well as its sticks-man. Problem is, locally-based hard rockers Livintrust have already accomplished all of that - so what's next for the aggressive but radio-friendly (perhaps aggressively radio-friendly) quintet? It's not unusual for fledgling bands to have big dreams - like, say, playing an arena show in front of a few thousand rock fans, getting their songs in rotation on a major radio station, and snagging themselves a lucrative endorsement deal or two.
In my eyes, the record was what a good melodic metal album should be with just enough creative experimentation provoking me to come back for more. Besides, its nice to review a CD from time to time where I can actually discern what the singer is saying rather than referring to the lyrics every few seconds. All of which are orchestrated and cultivated like a fine wine-sometimes bitter and sometimes sweet but always good in the long run. The formula essentially runs like this: punching bass drum, smooth guitar transitions mired in deep tones and actual, life-like singing that runs the gauntlet of octaves. If you like bands like CROSSFADE, SONIC CULT, SHINEDOWN and SEETHER who have embarked upon a movement to make the heavy alternative, or nu-metal light, popular then LIVINTRUST will be making an appearance in your ipod soon enough. The record didn’t instigate any mold smashing but their lively sound and incontestably melodic riffs will wreak havoc on your brain cavity in a positive way. LIVINTRUST from the chilly state of Connecticut are not so much relying on a lost genre of music but helping others to bring it into the new millennium by fortifying it with a revitalized energy and zest. So when a band comes along and plays within the ranges of a style that many had left for dead, it becomes a refreshing experience for us music lovers. The death of nu-metal was a solemn moment in music to be sure and now we are swamped with emo and post hardcore bands being spit out like hot dogs in a factory.
