On May 16th, 2012, an up-and-coming new rock band performed for an audience of about 50 people at a local Eunhangdong bar called Brickhouse. Herald staff writer, Kim JiPil was lucky enough to catch up with the band before the show and talk to the band. The following is an interview with Kim JinSeok, leader of the band.
Q: What is the purpose of your performance here?
A: We’re here to meet the visitors’ satisfaction, but the most important thing is that we are here to enjoy playing, and I hope you guys enjoy. This time is the last performance for me, because I am going to quit the band to study more.
Q: When and how did you form this band?
A: The band’s age is one year old, and we were all Woosong students but with different kinds of departments. We are all into music, so we decided to make a band.
Q: What is your band's name, and what does it mean?
A: The name is April's; it means Woosong University is beautiful especially in April. So we had in mind that our band would also be like the great beauty of Woosong University.
Q: What has been your most impressive performance?
A: We went to the Social Welfare Center before for a benefit performance. When we were there, we were proud to be a participating band.
The Brickhouse, a foreigner bar, seemed like Times Square to me. I went there to interview bands, but I saw impressive images of Koreans and foreigners communicating openly. I felt that, though we are different in appearances and nationality, we can become one through music.
Staff writer Kim JiPil is currently a Woosong University student majoring in English.
