On this episode of the Artist Interrogations podcast, Peaches sits down with Kasey Karlsen and CJ Arey of the band Deadlands at the Soundwell in Salt Lake City. The conversation covers their latest EP,
Seven, which is based on the seven deadly sins and influenced by tarot cards and self-reflection.
The group discusses their tour, initially called "Hot Singles in Your Area," but later corrected to "Hot Shows in Your Area". They share stories about the show, including the energetic crowds in Mesa, Arizona, and Oklahoma City, which were some of the best shows they've ever played. Peaches also talks about a previous interview where they discussed the Idaho Potato Museum, which led him to bring Kasey and CJ a poster and shot glass from the museum's gift shop.
Kasey and CJ open up about their shared experience with ADHD and how it affects their daily lives and work. They clarify that while they are the only two official members of Deadlands, the touring musicians are considered family. The podcast also touches on their collaboration with producer Boy What, also known as Eli , on the EP and their song "House of Cards". Finally, they express their appreciation for "nice rock stars" in the music industry, such as Cody from Set It Off and Chris Motionless
