Getting to know: Reaven

Paris, France (not Texas) is the home of today’s laid-back songsters:

Reaven

Introduce your members, what do each of you bring to the band?

“Hi guys!! I’m Romeo, the lead singer and guitarist of the band, and the composer and songwriter. Vince is the drummer and back vocalist, Rudy the bassist and back vocalist and André, keyboardist and back vocalist as well.”

When did you last speak to your families?

“I think… today!! Since we’re planning the next tour we’re back at home and enjoying some family time.”

What are your instrument makes/models of choice and why? Which effects could you not
live without?

“I play on a Gibson SG from the 70’s, that’s my baby (laughs)!! I couldn’t live without my disto pedal (custom badass 78’) and my overtone and modulator.”

What are the defining characteristics of Reaven?

“I think we can be qualified as an indie Pop/Rock band with a touch of electro. We do pay a lot of attention to our Live performances, often very intense. And we always give a special focus on the melodies and the vocal harmonies.”

If you could have a DC or Marvel superhero as a member of your band, who would it be
and what role would they have? Which band member would they have to fight to get the position
and who would win?

“I think it would be Azazel from Marvel, with the teleportation power. He would be a sound engineer for the band. Able to control the sound on stage and in front of the stage when needed!! He would have to fight our real sound engineer who won’t let his job to another one easily (laughs)!!”

What are you working on at the moment?

“Some new compositions, new demos. One is very Rock and the other one is kinda acoustic.”

Who are your favourite bands/artists/songwriters/musicians?

“The Beatles and all the 60’s period. I grew up with their music in my ears. From Lennon to Hendrix, Led Zep… More recent bands like Placebo, Kings of Leon, The Killers…”

Who is your favourite author, which is their best book and why?

“Antoine de Saint-Exupéry with Le Petit Prince, my fav book of all time. Everything is in this book. All the philosophy needed to see the world with a different view. Everyone should read this book once every 2-3 years. You’ll always discover new things in it. Timeless.”

When is your next single/album likely to be released? What is it called and where can we
get it in our ears? Why should we buy it?

“Our next album will be released next spring (2022). It will be called “For Tomorrow” and you’ll be able to listen to it on all the digital platforms possible. Worldwide.”
