Alex O’Nan and Kyle Noltemeyer are long-time members of the Louisville indie music scene as well as Sojourn Music. They’re also best friends and founding members of the innovative band Interstates, signed to The Record Machine label.
Interstates will be opening for critically acclaimed band Wovenhand this Thursday, October 9 at The 930 Listening Room. This comes fresh on the heels of their first ever cross-country tour and the release of their first CD, Run, Run, available through iTunes and many other outlets.

I sat down with Alex in the Sojourn Music studio to talk about Interstates’ art (layers of recorded electronic music, live guitar and percussion, synchronized to Alex’s short indie films) as well as life as an indie artist: touring, recording, developing a sound, playing multiple shows with friends (like the band Foxhole) and then opening for more well-known acts that you’ve not previously met (such as Wovenhand) and more.
