I got a chance to have some burning questions answered by the band, Walk Off The Earth, who recently appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to perform their cover of Gotye‘s “Somebody I Used To Know,” (which I posted a few weeks ago, but in case you haven’t seen it…here it is).
And here’s their performance on Ellen:
Walk Off The Earth is made of 5 people: Gianni, Marshall, Taylor, Joel and Sarah. So, with out further adieu, here we go:
MA: How did the 5 of you come together?
Sarah: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5! Voila! That’s us!
MA: Any story behind the name ‘Walk Off The Earth’?
Gianni: The band name we liked because when we make music we want it to take people away from the everyday. We want people to walk off the earth and in to the happiest place in their minds.
MA: Favorite activities (besides Ceiling Kicking)?
Sarah: Throwing instruments, jumping on trampolines, singing, making music and dancing.
MA: Favorite TV shows, past or present?
Sarah: The Muppet Show.
MA: Weird superstitions you use or abide by?
Sarah: I make wishes in to those fluffy flowers in the summer and blow them in to the air genuinely believing they will come true as long as no one else wishes on that one.
MA: If you weren’t making music, what would you be doing?
Sarah: Making other music. I don’t know. I teach yoga as well.
MA: Taylor, do you love the ‘Epic Beard Guy’ persona? AND, do you have and wear the tee shirt?
Taylor: Um…well I guess it’s alright. I don’t wear the shirt but I know some people do enjoy it from time to time.
MA: Where would you like to be in 3 years time?
Sarah: Playing a rock show in outer space.
MA: Favorite thing Ellen said to you last week?
Sarah: “Well it’s a good thing you don’t play ukelele.”
MA: Plans you have going down in the next 2 weeks?
Gianni: We are writing and recording a bunch of new stuff. Releasing a couple new videos and songs!
