“Do a stupid bit, have fun, and people will show up for it, but you also have
to attend other people's events if you want them to show up for you. It’s
really all about the friends we make along the way. If you go out to other
people's stuff and make friends, they will show up to yours. All you have to
do is be cool, and you will have a huge friend group,” DeVillers laughed. “It
feels like we shouldn't be getting paid for this because we're just inviting 50
people who know each other to hang out with us."
After Modern Haunting’s BAMMY win, their participation in Appleton’s Music
Festival, Mile of Music, and the many other shows they’ve both played and
scheduled within 2023 and 2024, DeVillers has revealed that the band is
slowing down their busy schedule so that he can spend more time writing
Modern Haunting’s first full-length album.
“Modern Haunting will be releasing one more single this year on Friday,
September 13th, called ‘Halloween,’ on all streaming platforms, but other
than that I’m trying to pump the brakes a little. We released an EP on Friday,
October 13th last year, and I knew I had to capitalize on the fact that there
was another Friday the 13th in fall this year,” he said. “It’s the most on-the-
nose punk song I’ve written so far, and was heavily influenced by Green
Bay’s punk scene. I’m very excited for it to join my spooky lineup of music.”
