Adam & Darcie

Adam and Darcie are cuter than any couple playing music, right now. Signed to Indiecater Records out of Dublin, Ireland along with Village Ten Collective from Portland, Oregon they also are pretty successful. Unlike a lot of other bands, theirs doesn’t have a shelf life.
“Our marriage is pretty key in the longevity of Adam and Darcie whereas other projects always reach an end when band members go separate ways. No separate ways here, except when Adam stays up to watch Conan,” Darcie says.
Their music is perfect for October, November, December or really any month. Give them a listen and be glad you did.

THE SAME SEVEN QUESTIONS FOR ADAM & DARCIE

Who or what inspires you?
Adam: Whenever I hear something that really moves me I feel compelled to write, record, or perform. Listening just isn't enough at that point and I feel motivated to be a part of music in a more active way.
In general, kind people are such an inspiring element of life. You know when you walk away from an encounter with someone and you feel lighter and happier just because of their kindness? Nothing anyone can do musically or professionally tops that.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Darcie: I need to ditch the laziness. There is some mind-numbing genius that could be happening if I could overcome that. Adam: I can overanalyze things, so I guess I'd like to be less hyper-critical.

What makes you happy?
Darcie: Our family is high on the list. The times when we're able to give our full attention to our son are the brightest spots of the day. I frequently find myself replaying that kind of stuff in my mind. "Remember when we went to the park and [our son] went down the slide and he saw that bug and..." But come on, good food has its place, too. We both have phenomenal parents, siblings, and friends who matter more to us than anything else.

What is your greatest fear?
Losing someone we love. It's so debilitating to imagine that possibility but it's a part of life. Also, I (Darcie) have issues with death and injury involving water. Drowning, a water slide collapsing mid-ride, a bridge collapsing, a car driving into a river...

What makes you laugh?
Grave things Darcie's mom says. Tracy Morgan. People under 3. The Space Olympics. Gob Bluth (Arrested Development)
Who are you listening to right now?
Darcie: I've been revisiting Midlake a lot recently. Their music feels so appropriate for autumn, so woodsy.
Adam: Reverie Sound Revue, Grizzly Bear, Department of Eagles, The Very Most... and I'm looking forward to the new Kings of Convenience.

What fictional character do you identify with most?
Me (Darcie) and Po from Kung Fu Panda have some striking similarities (creature of comforts, cheerful, preoccupied with food) while Adam is somewhat of a [Ron] Weasley (red hair).
