If you are into electrifying emo music, then listening to 9mmpistol is your jam. On March 22nd, I had the opportunity to attend 9mmpistols’ live performance at Vaquero Y Mar on E Thompson Blvd in Ventura. 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 an 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 9mmpistol.
“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. They do not disappoint.
