Download it here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/video/i-just-wanna-run/id388916842 The Downtown Fiction have only been a band for a few years, but with two EPs and a hit single under their belts, the Virginia rockers are proving that they're a band that's here to stay. The trio has been blazing up the airwaves with their debut song, 'I Just Wanna Run,' and are now in the studio writing and recording their first full-length album.
But that's not the only thing Cameron Leahy (vocals/guitar), Eric Jones (drums) and Dave Pavluk (bass) have on their plate right now. The band is also gearing up for the 2011 Glamour Kills tour with The Ready Set, Allstar Weekend and We Are the In Crowd, kicking off on February 23. While taking a break from their recording session in New York City, we got to talk to Cameron about The Downtown Fiction's forthcoming album, upcoming tour and why it's important to "go for it" in life. Read what the singer had to say in our exclusive interview below. JSYK: What made you and Eric want to start a band initially? Cameron: We were desperate to have a band, and that's all we really wanted to do, but all we had ever known was our high school music, so we wanted to do something brand new. The Downtown Fiction was an opportunity to do that. We started the band in the summer of 2008 -- I started writing some songs just on my own during the summer, and then we launched our MySpace page in the fall. We met David at Jammin Java, which is this music venue in Virginia that he had been working at. The band started in a very organic way, a pretty common tale, but we launched the site, and within a week we were already getting a lot of good feedback from people. We kept releasing songs independently until Photo Finish (record label) reached out to us. JSYK: Did you ever expect the kind of response you got? Cameron: No, definitely not, and we're still very taken aback by the response that we have gotten from this EP. It's an EP! I mean, when you're talking about a single or having any kind of radio play, you usually associate that with a band that has a full-length record out. So, its kind of an anomaly how all of this happened. It's really exciting, and were definitely just honored to have the opportunity to get our music out to so many people. We feel really lucky to have that chance. (More after the break) "There are a few venue changes to The Glamour Kills Tour w/ The Ready Set.
The show in Pontiac, Michigan on 2/25 has been moved from Eagle Theater to the Crofoot Ballroom. The show in Columbus, OH on 2/26 has been moved from The Basement to Newport Music Hall. The show in Philadelphia, PA on 3/4 has been moved from First Unitarian Church to the Starlight Ballroom. The show in Baltimore, MD on 3/6 has been moved from Ottobar to Rams Head Live.
