* The Internet in Zürich *

The Internet is a funk/soul band formed in the late 2011 by OFWGKTA (Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All or simply Odd Future) members Syd tha Kyd and Matt Martians along with touring members Jameel Bruner, Patrick Paige and Christopher A. Smith.

First time I saw The Internet on the stage, was at Coachella 2014. Being one of the Coachella nerds and making sure never to miss any gig (that is worth seeing), I managed to catch them performing an early gig on the Gobi stage. I didn't know what to expect but I, and obviously the rest of the crowd that kept on coming in (and staying), really enjoyed the gig. That gig was actually a perfect start of the day and looking back to it, it created the good vibe that kept flowing into the rest of it.

When I saw that The Internet will be performing at Exil, local club here in Zurich, on one of the random Wednesdays in July, I jumped on the occasion, reached out to few kind people and fortunately (for me and listeners of Gimme A Beat), got a chance to interview the band.

This interview was one of the easy ones. I had enough time to just hang around with the band members and ask them everything I was curious about: their beginnings, how did they became musicians that they are today, music that they created until now and plans for the future.

What I was really impressed with, was very obvious connection between the members of the band. This is the connection of the people that grew up together: musically and life wise, and it was also very much reflected, later on, on the stage.
In addition to that what, for me, made this band even more likeable, is the fact that even if they are all insanely talented, they are still down to earth, humble people, that are perfecting themselves every day and still seem to know how to embrace and enjoy life to the fullest.

After the interview I joined the rest of the Zurich crowd for a soulful, warm live sound of The Internet, that was perfect escape for that (not very common for summer, even in Zurich) cold, rainy night.
