One2One With THOSE DAMN KOOKIES

So with a name like "Those Damn Kookies" you wonder what you would expect...Not surprising that the sound is Fresh and it's addicting..You want to hear more....I love this band's approach to music. THey really mesh well together..Hmmm? Just like a batch of cookie dough mix...the right ingredients ..results in one DAMN GOOD Kookie!!

These guys got it right...It helps that they get along so well and that they brainstorm every idea and respect each other's input. No other way to create great music.
My favorite song is "Nice to meet you" I love the unexpected high notes..very creative.

O2O:How did you choose your name?

TDK: We found our name like many other bands did, we brainstormed (we were looking for something without real meaning or special reference)
and then we got it. (Yes we agree, and we like it...As a fitness Trainer..I can't agree more...Those damn kookies..but I would venture to say...Now I have a new liking for the word.)

O2O: We understand that a song that is short rocks in your face is your genre preference. Who then are your Rock musical influences?
We are mostly influenced by the british rock and the punk scenes.We grew up as a band in montreal, since there are respected musical acts in the city we can't deny the effects they have on our music. (We notice these effects and love them)

O2O: Annick you have a special approach to stage shows, displaying live images
on the screens and such, what inspired you to add this to your shows, and do the guys help you select the images?

TDK: The idea of having someone displaying live images came at first from Gee while he was watching a band live and asking himself what could be done to make it better.
A new task had been created and Annick was obviously the most qualified person to do it.
Since everyone is involved in all aspects of this band, we all help to select the images.(The Team effort is awesome..and it shows)

O2O: Your new album Traffic Noise will be
hitting the market soon, How are you feeling
about this? Is there a song that did not
make it on the album that you wish had?

TDK: We're all very excited about it. For us
it's an opportunity to reach new people
and share our music with other countries.
As for a song that didn't make it on the
album...if it's not on it, you don't need it.
( I like that!)

O2O: Do you all help in the writing
process or is their one of you that has
more ability in this process?
WE Work as a team so no one is more
important than another. (This is
evident..and it works!)

O2O: Can you tell us about each band
member? (How did they come to be
chosen for the band and a bit about
their personalities)
TDK: We are all friends playing in a
band this is why we are getting along so well.
(Doum and Gee are brothers)
Here's a bit about our different personalities:
Gypsy is "mister lost in his toughts"
Gee is "mister public relations"
Doum is mr "goodfellow"
Annick is miss "kid kodak"

Thanks I hope to have the opportunity to check you guys out LIVE! I am sure it is amazing.
