Drunken Money

The band Wilderado is made up, as their About Us would suggest on their website: "Four Dudes." Those four dudes are Maxim Helmerich (vocals, guitar), Tyler Wimpee (guitar, vocals), Colton Dearing (percussion, keys, vocals) and Justin Kila (drums). While touring with Mt. Joy, I was lucky enough to catch them while they were in Louisville for a few beers and a quick podcast.  After a few beers, we delved into these questions to truly understand what makes a band: How did you meet? When did you start playing music? How do you write new songs? What's a day in the life of a touring band? How do you stay healthy on the road? How will you know you've made it as a band? How do you avoid burnout? What advice do you have for aspiring bands? What's the next big thing for the band? SPOILER ALERT: their biggest piece of advice: don't give up. Words for life. John and I tell ourselves that every day.  Last call questions: What's the best thing you've spent money on the last six months? Tyler: 2010 Jeep Wrangler Colton:
