The Untitled Interview #129 – STPP Fest Edition: Starring Derek Sheehan (The Tweeds)

I like tweed. I also happen to like The Tweeds. Whether or not they wear tweed whilst playing I can’t say, but good heavens that would be great. Sonically, these Philadelphians tread fairly nostalgic waters, indulging in shades of early 90s college rock, shoegaze of that same era, and a little of the 60s Brit shimmy thrown in for good measure. It’s a rather sassy little combination, I must say. Multitasking Tweed Derek Sheehan had the following to say about his festival experiences, and the band he’s most excited to see.
Fuzzy Logic: Inevitably, you will forget to bring:
Derek Sheehan: Probably something minor but essential like guitar straps or the set list...
FL: Band you're most looking forward to seeing at the festival?
DS: Screen Vinyl Image. We played with them in philly before and they put on a fantastic show.
FL: What's the first thing you plan on doing upon arrival in DC?
DS: Grabbing a beer!
FL: What was the first festival you ever attended, either as a musician or member of the general public?
DS: The first festival as a fan was All Points West in NYC. Radiohead headlined and it was amazing! First as a musician was the Utica Music Festival with the The Tweeds.
FL: Favorite thing about festivals?
DS: Just the vibe. A bunch of food, drink and music always makes for a great time!
