TWENTY-TWO | STRIKE THE SEAS | GUITAR/BACKING VOCALS | MAT MUSTO "SO TELL ME, WHO ARE YOU AGAIN?" "hey i'm bowen bradshaw. some people call me brady. i'm twenty-two years old and from detroit, michigan. oh right, fuck, and i play guitar and doing backing vocals for strike the seas. i guess that's really why you're talking to me in the first place, right?" "RIGHT RIGHT, SORRY. SO TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF." "alright well um. i like to think of myself as pretty down to earth. i'm not the guy who's going to get a big head over being in a band, or have some cocky attitude. i'm too chill for that i guess. i tend to let things roll off my back. and i guess since i don't let much bother me i'm a bit happy-go-lucky. i mean really, you're just lucky to wake up breathing every day, yeah? i think my laid back attitude makes people more comfortable around me. i seem to always be surrounded by people. the only thing that really i think i have a problem with is sticking to one girl. i get bored with them. i mean, all girls end up the same after a while. they all talk about the same things, do the same things, want the same things. i guess in the end i'm just hard to please in a relationship. whatever. casual sex is easier anyways." "INTERESTING! WHERE WAS IT THAT YOU SAID YOU COME FROM?" "history goes here. at least five sentences, please. i'm from detriot, michigan. born and raised. i was my mom's only kid, and a mistake at that. she had me at sixteen. but she worked her ass off, and even though i spent most of my childhood moving around, i was a happy kid. i was really easy to get along with, not too fussy, so it wasn't hard for me to make new friends. and i thought it was normal to always be moving around and leaving them, so i didn't feel weird about saying goodbye. but i finally got to stay somewhere once i made it into high school. i was too concerned with music. looking back, it probably would've been smart not to have fucked around, but it all worked out. i mean, the band really took off. so i wouldn't redo it if i had the chance." "WOW. SO WHAT IS A DAY IN THE LIFE OF YOU LIKE?" "well on tour it's go go go, as apposed to when we're just relaxing at home. during tour i'm usually up around ten am eating cereal or drinking coffee. sometimes we have acoustic sets and press, and other days i can just sit back and relax. and of course being on tour, we have gigs. and there's nothing like being on that stage with kids singing along to the song you're playing. when i'm home though, i spend a lot of time with friends and my mom, trying to make up for lost time. i don't like to lose touch with people who mean a lot to me." "NICE. LAST QUESTION... WHY ARE YOU WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT DOES THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?" "i'm here because i love music, and that's really it. i don't care about the money, or the girls, or the 'fame'. i just really love playing guitar. i'm a simple guy doing the thing he loves the most in the world. quite honestly, i'm not sure what the future looks like for me. just trying to make sure that the band keeps on going, i guess." "ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD?" "nah man, stay cool." hey there, the name's brie. i live in the alaska time zone and this is my fourth character.
