  1. Interview with Appeitite

    August 4, 2011 by Steph

    I’ve recently been introduced to the amazing musical project of Teddy Briggs from Sacramento, CA–Appetite. The music on Appetite’s recent album Scattered Smothered Covered plays with rhythms and silly melodies with dark themes. It’s really fascinating and I was so enraptured with it that I wanted to ask Teddy, the creator, a few questions.

    S: First off, Appetite. Why the name? Does it mean something for the concept of the musical project or was it just something fun?
