The Wicks: Grooving All Over the Place

As the big Music House Fall Carnival approaches. We'll be featuring each of the bands competing in the Battle of the Bands. Presenting, The Wicks...

---

Why do you call yourselves the "The Wicks"?

Audrey: The TV was on, there was a commercial for Wix.com. Henry said we should be called the Wicks, just spelled differently.

Who are your biggest influences?

Kaitlyn: My brother. Ethan: John Petrucci and Rob Halford. Killian: John Bonham and Slash.

How would you describe The Wicks' style?

Audrey: We're all over the place.

What has working with a real band taught you?

Killian: How to groove. Kaitlyn: It has improved our stage presence.

Do you guys write your own music? If yes, do you prefer writing your own stuff or covering others?

Killian: Covering other people's music because it teaches you new techniques. Audrey: I like doing my own thing more than other people's work, it's more personal. Kaitlyn: I like doing covers better, it's more fun.

What do you think the difference is between a good band and a great one?

Audrey: Hours of practice. Kaitlyn: Being able to communicate non-verbally on stage.

You guys are performing at the upcoming Music House Fall Carnival on Oct. 29. You stand to win recording time and a performance slot at an upcoming music festival. What excites you most about that show?

Kaitlyn: We get the opportunity to try to beat the Mastery bands! Audrey: If we win, we get to record our original music.

What's going to set you apart from all the other bands competing on the 29th?

Killian: We bring talent to the table, and we play well together.

Anything more you'd like to add?

Audrey: I promise we're cool. Sean: We're awesome and everyone should vote for us on October 29th!
