Miles Vernon - Band

Here is a great up and coming band named MILES VERNON. They have a dreamy-like, low-fi sound.
The members of Miles Vernon are Deidre and Emily. Emily was born in Newfoundland but raised in British Colombia. Deidre was born and raised in Newfoundland.
It is an incredible story... how they met.
Deidre and Emily met through mutual friends in Montreal only to realize upon meeting that they had been childhood friends at a very young age. Their parents were friends and had set them up on a couple play dates. They never heard of each other after since Emily's family moved out of the province. Who would have thought 15-16 years later they would meet again and form a band together!
They are incredibly talented! Listen here !

Here is an interview with Miles Vernon (Deidre and Emily)

SARAH:
What made you guys start to make music together?


DEIDRE:
Right time, right place, right people!

SARAH:
What music inspires each of you?
DEIDRE:
Usually whatever I happen to be listening to at the moment in ma vie....currently am loving jazz vocals of Nat King Cole, Sufjan Stevens, Wu-tang, some dub-step, Dusty brown, Radiohead...and the list goes on!
EMILY:
Old folk music, old bluegrass...or any music that talks directly to my soul..

SARAH:
Do you plan to record a whole album anytime soon? What sound do you want to accomplish with an album?
EMILY:
Currently recording our demo now! We are trying to emulate individual moments and feelings of our lives through sound..

SARAH:
What other kinds of art do each of you make? Does it have any influence on your music?
EMILY:
I currently study fashion at LaSalle college.
DEIDRE:
I'm also a visual artist and I enjoy clothing design as well. I think we're both creative individuals who try to find the beauty in everyday and everything and translate that into our art, which does include our music among our other artistic endeavours.

SARAH:
Any big plans for your band in the next year?

Yeah! We're going on tour across Canada in June 2011, starting from St. John's Newfoundland and driving west to Victoria British Colombia. One home town to the next!
