Sue Ellen: How have things been lately? How's life? I see you're hair's still long and shiny as usual! (I wish my hair looked like that!)
Sebastian: Things have been quite productive...still doing local shows now and then, making new material, and still trying to saving up for that highly anticipated demo we'll be releasing soon. (By the way, thanks for the hair comment!)
Sue Ellen: Well, I know that some members used to play in a band known as Burning Winter. They were quite a hit here in San Antonio. They had some awesome concerts and great songs. Mind telling me what happened with the band?
Sebastian: Well, for personal reasons, some things are just better left unsaid. For the most part, the members parted on a bad note, so with that...I'm sure you can get the idea of what happened. Musical indifference was a standing matter with the few, but it was mostly head-butting.
Sue Ellen: How...um...tragic! Well, the past is the past. Now you're in a new band. Tell me more about Tragic End. How did you guys get together?
Sebastian: Well with the few parted members who were still close at the end of Burning Winter, we decided to still make music, but in a faster, deliberate way...which results in a more kick ass, new, and fresh genre. We met up with our other lead guitar, Santos, from school. We also met a guy named Gustav who played drums really well, but in time even breakups can happen in the beginning...so that is why we now have Robert, who is also really good, on the drums now.
Sue Ellen. Interesting...I'm sure everyone wants to know this, but where did you guys come up with the name for the band?
Sebastian: We actually had came with a few names before this one, and we tried not to stick with anything corny, so we decided to be named Tragic End...even though there were allegations that the name Tragic End was "EMO", we tend to prove people wrong at our shows and with the music.
