What are WOODLOCK doing during Isolation?
What are you doing to keep yourself occupied during this time of isolation?
Eze: Video games are a big outlet, which for me is a great way to keep in touch with my friends while Iβm in isolation. Just last week i scheduled to play some Minecraft with a friend in Estonia. I showed him this lemons track (He loved it by the way), and just caught up about life. Weβve been preparing for our single releases too, so even though the isolation has been difficult, it hasnβt halted life entirely.
Bowen: Iβve been driving buses for my dad for the last few months, which obviously has stopped because of the situation. But my dad got this new primo bus, so Iβve been designing graphics for it. Itβs actually been really fun having some input into my dads business so weβve been bonding over the work so thatβs been really good. It was my birthday recently, and we couldnβt really celebrate it so if you like to send some birthday wishes I wouldnβt say no.
Tell us about the release of βLemons (The Lime Version)β?Zech: Being one of our most loved tracks, Our label suggested we tackle it again. So we spoke to
Jackson Barclay on re-recording our track βLemons.β
He was super excited, in his words βLetβs reimagine the trackβ to which we gave him a bit of stick on the βreimaginingβ line. That being said, there were things that we always felt we could improve on this song, less to do with the melody and more to do with the craft of the song such as changing things like build ups and dynamics. So although it feels the same, it still has a little something different. Like limes and lemons. They are both a citrusy fruit but both unique.
What are three things you love doing outside of music?
1. Boating. We all love to go out wakeboarding on the boat, its probably been the worst part about this. We can see the water from our house and the conditions have been perfect.2. Video Games. Eze loves playing Escape From Tarkov and Minecraft, Zech loves his RPG and Bowen is a βproβat Pac-Man, Frogger or anything in the retro gaming world.3. Projects. We all love making use of our time to build something. Eze built out a van as a camper, Zech has been building a website and Bowen has been tinkering with a BBQ boat for the lake when all this dies down.
If you could be anywhere in the world right now, waiting this thing out. Where would you go?
Zech: We are fortunate enough that we were all close to our family when the isolation came in. So for us we are exactly where we want to be during this time. Eze: On a lighter note Iβve been in philosophical discussion with several friends about where the best place to go would be during this time. The strongest contender came in as Bunnings Warehouse βwhere lowest prices are just the beginning.β
Whatβs next?
Bowen: Late last year we signed with Nettwerk and have been spending the time planning out the
next few years. Through them its given us the resources to be able to do things we werenβt able to before, so we are really excited for whatβs coming with SO much new music to be released. Weβve also been talking about getting online more, things like live-streaming of us creating our music where people can watch our creative process and ask questions about how we do what we do.
All in all we are so pumped for the future.
