After Midnight Project Q and A

Interview with Jason Evigan conducted at Vans Warped Tour 2010 by staff writer Stephanie Boscovitch.

How did you get where you are today?

I used to record late at night, get home at 10 or 11am from serving tables and record until 8am the next morning, then sleep at noon.  When I was 14, I started my first band while I was growing up in Los Angeles, CA. We built up, got our songs on the radio, and got signed to Universal Records.

What do you think about this year’s Warped Tour compared to earlier ones you have been a part of?

It’s been cool, feels more laid back definitely. There was more drama last year, this year’s there has been a lot of great bands.  This is the heaviest Warped Tour, heavy music is a huge scene underground.

What are you looking forward to after Warped Tour?

Playing a big show in Richmond with Rise Against, having a live album on iTunes. I’m always writing new music, but we’re touring until the end of the year.

How would you describe your music to a new listener?

Intense rock, rock music, alternative.

Do you write all the music for your band?

I write everything, but things get added the more we play.

How did you come up with the title After Midnight Project?

Well, coming home late, all my music and stuff started late at night ha ha
