      for
      Spirit
     
     
      of
      the
      West
      was
      interviewed
      by
      the
      station
     
     
      management,
      just
      a
      half-hour
      before
      Spirit

      CIMN:
      What
      type
      of
      band
      is
      Spirit
      of
      the
      West,
      and
     
     
      what
      are
      your
      influences?
     
    

    
     
      SOTW:
      It’s
      sort
      of
      a
      blend
      of
      folk
      and
      rock
      with
     
     
      some
      Celtic
      influences.
      Everybody
      (in
      the
      band)
      has
     
    
   
   
    
     
      quite
      a
      diverse
      field
      of
      stuff
      that
      they
      listen
      to.
     
     
      CIMN:
      You
      have
      in
      the
      past
      and
      continue
      to
      play
     
     
      at
      a
      lot
      of
      festivals
      as
      well
      as
      doing
      a
      lot
      of
      touring.
     
     
      Are
      you
      primarily
      a
      live
      band?
      Are
      you
      two
     
     
      different
      bands
      live
      and
      in
      the
      studio?
     
    

    
     
      SOTW:
      We
      try,
      it’s
      a
      really
      hard
      thing
      trying
      to
      get
     
     
      the
      live
      feel
      when
      you
      do
      an
      album,
      but
      I
      think
      the
     
     
      last
      one
      (Save
      this
      house)
      was
      as
      close
      as
      we’ve
     
     
      come.
      The
      live
      thing
      is
      definitely
      a
      lot
      of
      fun
      and
     
     
      we
      enjoy
      doing
      it.
      Hopefully
      with
      the
      next
      album
     
     
      we'll
      try
      to
      get
      even
      more
      of
      the
      live
      thing
      into
      it.
     
     
      CIMN:
      What
      can
      someone
      expect
      when
      they
      come
     
     
      to
      see
      you
      live?
     
    

    
     
      SOTW:
      Ah..well...hopefully
      lots
      of
      good
      music,
      a
      lot
     
     
      of
      energy
      and
      hopefully
      a
      good
      time.
     
    

    
     
      CIMN:
      What
      events
      usually
      inspire
      the
      band’s
     
     
      songwriting?
     
    

    
     
      SOTW:
      I’m
      not
      one
      of
      the
      principal
      songwriters,
      but
     
     
      I
      know
      that
      John
      (Mann)
      and
      Geoffery
      (Kelly)
      a
      lot
     
     
      of
      things
      they
      write
      about
      are
      from
      personal
     
     
      experiences
      or
      else
      something
      that
      was
      concerning
     
     
      them
      at
      the
      time,
      something
      that
      moved
      them
      to
     
     
      write
      a
      song.
      But
      they
      don’t
      just
      jump
      on
      the
     
     
      bandwagon
      of
      what’s
      happening
      now.
      We
      get
      a
      lot
     
     
      of
      people
      saying,
      why
      don’t
      you
      write
      about
      this,
      but
     
     
      it
      just
      loses
      its
      power
      when
      you
      take
      a
      headline
      out
     
     
      of
      the
      newspaper
      everyday.
     
    

    
     
      CIMN:
      When
      they
      write,
      do
      they
      start
      with
      music
     
     
      or
      lyrics?
     
    

    
     
      SOTW:
      It
      varies..

      are
      YOUR

      SOTW:
      Oh
      gosh,
      well,
      Dirty
      Pool
      is
      one
      that
      I
     
     
      really
      like.
      I
      have
      a
      singing
      part

      that
