Interview: Richie Bee of Deitre

1. Competition is rough in the music industry, what is your band doing to grow and continue to reach for success?

I think that we are lucky in that what we are doing feels different from anything I have ever heard/seen. So I think we stand out in that way, however, we are constantly writing and creating and putting out new stuff.

2. If someone goes to one of your concerts, what do you think they should know going in?

We can’t give away all of our little secrets. I guess you’ll have to just come and see for yourself.

3. What is your dream tour or festival?

I would love to see the world. Europe would be sick.

4. If you could collaborate with any musician, who would you choose?

I don’t think I could choose.

5. Out of every concert you have been to, who are the best live bands?

Shadow Monster, Cindy Cane, Darkwing

6. Who are some of your biggest influences?

Whitney Houston & The Dead Weather.

7. When did you first start playing music and how did that come together to lead you to where you are today?

I realized that music was going to be my whole life when I was around 14 years old. I had just gotten off of a stage where I was asked to sing a cover song with a live band. Afterwards, I broke down crying. My father asked me what was wrong. I said, “This is what I want to do with my life.” I remember that feeling so vividly. It was the most powerful feeling in the world.

8. What are your plans for the rest of the year for the band?

To keep creating and sharing with the world.
