Topic: Scott Brazieal (Cartoon) (PFS) (5UU'S) Posted: March 21 2008 at 14:14 |
I recently talked with keyboardist Scott Brazieal over the internet, and he agreed to allow me to interview him over email. Scott has was a founding member of Cartoon and PFS, he has played with Thinking Plague, and 5uu's, and he has been out on tour with Cassiber, Skeleton Crew, Von Zamla, and many others. If you haven't heard his music, Cartoon and PFS are excellent and highly recommended for all fans of RIO or avant-prog. My questions are in bold, his answers are in normal font.
5uu's PA profile here: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=108 What are you currently working on? What are your plans for the future?
Which band was your favorite to work with? Why the name change from Cartoon to
PFS? The two bands were nearly identical in membership. I have heard rumors that Cartoon has some
live material in the archives. Will this ever see the light of day? What was your single favorite musical
experience?
What were the biggest influences on Cartoon and PFS, and what are/were the
biggest influences on you personally?
What was it like playing shows with the likes of Christian Vander, John
Greaves, Cassiber, Skeleton Crew, The Camberwell Now and Von Zamla and how much
did you learn musically from the many wonderful musicians you met?
What was it like to work with Bob Drake and Dave Kerman? What other bands are listening to
these days?
What is your opinion on legal and illegal downloading of music? If your heart is in it: keep learning, keep practicing, keep experimenting and keep playing. Edited by ExittheLemming - March 03 2012 at 21:02 |

That's great to read an interview with Scott, especially in concern to lesser talked about and magnificent bands like PFS and Cartoon. Great work, Jake

That's a good read, so it is true all musicians put on their pants one leg at a time. |

Well done, Jake, very good interview indeed and this has spurred me on to try and finish my interview with Jarno from Alamaailman Vasarat.
Like Blowfus said, I also need to listen to Cartoon and P.F.S. more, especially as I added the bands and wrote their biographies for P.A.! |
