MH: I can imagine how much work a band can put into writing and
performing music. What are some of the band's musical influences and
what else inspires you all?

Liliac: Melody's main influence is Ronnie James Dio. She listens to his voice
every day and learns his techniques. Samuel loves guitar shredders like
Eddie Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, etc. Abigail is a huge fan
of Roger Taylor from Queen because that was the band that got us into rock
music. Freddie Mercury also inspires Justin when he's playing the piano.
Ethan likes to rock out to bands like Nate Wants To Battle or rock songs
from video games.

MH: Do you all have any favorite or crazy road stories to share with
us?

Liliac: We have so many crazy stories that happened to us on our first 40
dates tour back in 2019. The first story was on the first show on the tour in
San Francisco. We did a show at a festival, which was great, but the next
day is when it got crazy. We went sightseeing to Ghirardelli Square and we
parked our van in a parking garage. When we got back, we saw that one of
the windows got smashed! We were so shocked and scared because
someone broke into our van. They stole a few of our bags, like, two of our
laptops, our expensive camera we used to shoot music videos, clothes,
other electronic devices, and even our retainers. It was so heartbreaking
because we felt violated, and it wasn't a pretty scene. But we would love to
thank our fans for helping us with donations to repurchase the stuff we lost.
One night we were in Clovis, New Mexico, opening up for Loverboy. It was
an amazing show! The crazy thing was during Loverboy's set we were on
the side of the stage watching them perform. Then, while they were
performing their final song, the drummer called Abigail on stage to play with
him. And then the singer called Melody on to the stage to sing with him! The
crowd was going crazy, and it was a memorable night. We even made a vlog
about it on our YouTube channel.
