Q&A with Uh Huh Her (October 2009)

1. Which band would you like to have opening for you? And which band would you love to open for? (this can be next tour or ideal tour) -Pitxi, Portugal

As far as openers, we would have Mellowdrone or Hearts Challenger, because they’re awesome. As far as opening, we’d love to open for Goldfrapp or The Killers.

2. How important is ‘radio-time’ to the success of your albums/songs? And, how difficult is it to obtain radio-time nationally? -Sarah, Arizona

We think radio is bizarre nowadays. It’s so hard to be heard unless you’re a Disney band or something. That being said, if you’re lucky enough to get play, then it’s an extremely helpful marketing tool. Indie radio is where it’s at for band’s like us, and for the most part that’s via the internet with stations such as indie 103.1, which went off the air to avoid corporate pressures to play crap music, and stations like NPR that dare to be different, etc… There is still a lot radio can do, it is just heavily influenced by “the man” at the present time. That lends itself to really homogenized music that I personally don’t prefer to listen to at all.

3. Do either of you do any sports? Or do you prefer watching? If you do watch are there any teams that you avidly support? -Doug, New York

- Cam: I’m really into playing racquetball at the moment. I love hitting the ball as hard as I can and not having to run around too far to chase it. It’s very 80s of me, no? I really like watching the LAKERS play bball as well. Go Colby and Lamar.

-Leisha: I run and listen to my ipod. It clears my head.

4. Name something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. -Lyndsey, France

Old – Gary Numan Records, New – iPod touch, Borrowed – Leisha’s Nord Lead 2x, Blue – our fave chewing gum.

5. The internet has obviously been a wonderful tool for a lot of small, independent bands to get their music out to listeners. Yet how can bands, and labels, harness the democratizing power of the internet while still making money, maintaining a sustainable business plan? -Kace, Vancouver

If they knew how to harness the internet to generate income, then maybe labels wouldn’t be in such duress. I hope they figure it out soon. As far as indie artists, the direct communication to fans enables us to let them know about merch/touring/albums/etc…which in turn generate sales for the artists in the form of ticket sales, and album sales, etc. It’s a great marketing tool that doesn’t cost a whole lot because we can talk right to the people who would want to support us and buy our product (which happens to be music).
