In 2010, I worked as a freelancer for a now-defunct music website. One assignment was to interview bands heading to Austin for SXSW. The editors provided 10 questions for the interview, the first four they deemed as “critical” for the story. Those questions were:

1. Describe your sound in your own words.

2. How did your band form?

3. What/Who are your musical influences?

4. How did you come up with your band name?

Pretty good questions. I especially like number four. If you have a band, how did you come up with its name? And if you started a band, what would you name it? I think I’d call my band “Glad to See You.”
