Best In Vancouver: Mistral Storm

Art Rock band, Mistral Storm, is putting their best foot forward for the Best In Vancouver competition. I had a short chat with lead singer, Monica about the upcoming performance.

James: How did you find out about "Best In Vancouver"?
Mistral Storm: I found out about Best in Vancouver while looking for places to play in Vancouver.
I sent in a sample and our web address ... and viola! We are seriously jazzed!

James: What sets you apart from other bands?
Mistral Storm: We are a different band with a unique style of music we call art rock. We strive to
be as creative as possible. We are all about making unique and killer soulful music. Our ultimate goal is to make the room stop because people are captivated by the sound. When that happens, we know we've done our job. Hopefully that happens with BIV.

James: Do you have anything special for your show planned?
Mistral Storm:  The only thing special in our live show is our music. We hope that's special enough. We don't do gimmicks. We don't wear KISS style makeup. We are pretty regular folk. We hope the music stands one its own. We've musicians not actors.

James: What do you think about battle of the bands competitions and how they influence the scene?

Mistral Storm:  I think Battle of the Band competitions are a cool way for bands to show their stuff. Sometimes competitions give people more buzz and that influences their careers for sure. The other thing that influences the scene is the
connection you make with other bands. It's kind of a unique community. We all know how hard it is and how much work goes into honing your craft. It's fantastic to play for anyone who enjoys the music you create. That is the best part of doing what we do. It's also cool when you run into musicians who get what you are trying to do musically and that is pretty sweet.
