If you are into electrifying emo music, then listening to 9mmpistol is your jam. On March 22nd I had the experience to attend 9mmpistols live performance located at Vaquero Y Mar on E Thompson Blvd, Ventura. Right away when you first step into the restaurant it omits a warm and laidback atmosphere. The show was from 7-10pm and before the band was setting up, I had the opportunity to speak with their lead singer Sophia and their drummer Nate.
Sophia got into music when a acquaintance of hers was looking for a vocalist for a project, and her passion for music grew after that. Then almost a year later she formed her own band which was 9mmpsitol.
Time management while also working and going to school is honestly tough, its all about communication ,commitment, and a group effort, and nonetheless you got to always make time for doing what you love or you will be miserable if you don’t.
Sophia was formally acquainted to Nate when her and their bassist went to a concert together and after that the rest was history. Not only are they band mates, but they are also good friends.
Nate first got into music when he was about 2-3 years old and received a hand me down drum set from his cousin. As a kid he would mess around on that drum set until he turned 9 and wanted to take it to the next level. Music has been his whole life and has formed him into the person he is today.
As I said, music has consumed my whole life so I don’t honestly worry about time management with school, work and band because at the end of the day I know music will always be there for me no matter what.
The songs that they performed that night were “Veil”, “The message unkept”, “Indecision”, “Rat race”, and “Toothache”. Overall, if you are fascinated with emotional and punk music then you should at least listen to their music on Spotify and they do disappoint.
