Omar Interview!

Posted 7/8/2008 by IGA

Hey everyone;

We have something pretty sweet to share with you today; Omar Dominick, our bass player extraordinaire, did an interview with British blog Petite Anglaise. Check it out:

Petite Anglaise: So how did you start out playing with Chester French?

Omar Dominick: My Brother was touring with [Kenna] and while he was on the tour [with them] he met Max and D.A. [Chester French] in February.
D.A. called my brother to put a band together for their upcoming [tour] dates and my brother told me about it.

Petite Anglaise: Who were you performing with before then?

Omar Dominick: Before then I was [performing] with Amerie and before that local [Philadelphia] artist.

Petite Anglaise: You recently finished touring with N.E.R.D how was that?

Omar Dominick: Awh Man...N.E.R.D passes on their energy and it's like the energy their crowd puts forth, like you were their that night and it's just amazing how their performance and even backstage their just really positive guys.

Petite Anglaise: Okay final question, personally what do you think is the hottest product out their right now, can be either fashion, technology, anything?

Omar Dominick: As far as fashion, I'm into everything being a sense of individuality. Like I'm not really into wearing what everyone else is into or whatever, like if your doing your own thing I like that better then wearing the same sneaks or whatever. But right now everyone's rocking BBC and Ice Creams which is really hot because while we were in London I thought only they [British N.E.R.D fans] were rocking it but I got back to Philly and people are rocking it to.

Petite Anglaise: Okay are they paying you for that endorsement?

Omar Dominick: What..no no.. it's just nice to see something branch out like that you know from London back to Philly. It's cool

Petite Anglaise: Okay..what about kicks, how do you feel about sneakers and all that hype.

Omar Dominick: Like I love Nike's and Adidas but I'm not really into the whole craze. Like I'd like to be a leader not a follower [when it comes to fashion] so I'm not really with that whole scene."

Omar is, indeed, an incredibly down to Earth dude, as any of you guys who've had the pleasure to chat with him after a show can attest to.
