Something Happened Discusses Growing Local Scene

SCAD Radio’s music director, Hailey Feller conducted an interview with Something Happened on Oct. 30th.

Lead Singer: I think it’s cool to see a possible grouping of bands that can go around SCAD and go around Savannah, and a place for people to go watch live music. Even though we have a bit of a world situation we’re dealing with at the moment, it’s so great to have a scene forming here in Savannah. I guess that’s our overall goal. A month ago we decided to have house shows. We actually had a pretty decent turn out in our backyard last night. We are planning on doing another house show in a week or two from now, and try to limit the size in order to keep it safe. It’s going to be a really awesome year. 

Q: Do you know where your next show is going to be? 

A: Tomorrow morning [10/31/20] at the Stables three of us will be there. Us, Bastardane, and La Chonk will be there tomorrow. It’s going to be awesome. Seeing things coming together in Savannah for music, all started by SCAD students, and perpetuated by SCAD students is really amazing. 

Q: Do you have any musical inspirations? I see there’s an Alex Turner vibe.

A: I don’t know I just had this suit and I wanted to put it on. We’re actually politicians. I was actually going to introduce us as some Democratic candidates, Jon Ossoff, so shoutout Jon Ossoff, I hope everybody’s voting and all that. But to answer the question of musical inspiration, shoutout to my guy, Amen Dunes. He’s a very little known artist that deserves much more attention, so Amen Dunes would be mine. Another would be a combination of John Mayer and Charles Manson. Also, the typical taste of Led Zeppelin. Really got to stress [Amen Dunes]. Everyone go listen to the album “Freedom” by Amen Dunes. 

Q: Any new music coming out soon? 

A: We should have an album coming out in the coming months. Honestly, we are a very new band, and we actually made our Instagram before the show started. But, we have been working on some original stuff and hopefully we’ll have some music out on streaming platforms for everybody to listen to. It would be great to do that, for after shows to be able to plug that. Like I said, pretty new, we are Something Happened, stay tuned!
