The band combines their unique electronic rock sound with a terrific laser and light show, so everyone who goes to their concerts has a great time. I had the pleasure of interviewing three members of Jumpship Astronaut: Ryan Bryant on vocals and guitar, Chris Bourland on synth and Scott Dunn on bass and synth.<\/p>\n<p>Their new release EP <em>Humans<\/em> has been a smashing success. I especially love the fan favorite track <em>Change<\/em>. Ryan gave me the scoop: \u201cWe\u2019ve been working on that song for a little over a year. It started as a basic acoustic demo and we brought it together when Chris added a really cool synth line on top of it. It\u2019s a collaborative effort and, for me personally, I\u2019m proudest of that song.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When I listen to many of the tracks on <em>Humans<\/em>, especially the first track <em>Alive<\/em>, I\u2019m reminded of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD). So, I asked the band who they credit as influencing their unique sound. Ryan explained: \u201cWe\u2019re all over the map. We do love a lot of 80\u2019s new wave synth music, modern electronic music and a lot of rock music in general. We have divergent music backgrounds.\u201d Chris confirmed: \u201cWe listen to a lot of electronic, but we are also rock guys. There\u2019s a whole genre of music coming out of mixing the two. We listen to Dead Mouse (Deadmau5), LCD Soundsystem and James Murphy Project. The mixing of genres is what we\u2019re doing and hoping it comes out dancy and fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3406\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-4-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Jumpship Astronaut performing 4\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-4-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-4-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-4-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-4-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-4-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Jumpship Astronaut is well-known for adding lasers and LEDs to their explosive synth music. I wondered who choreographed the light shows. Turns out, members of the band program it themselves. Chris is the mastermind behind the lights: \u201cFor the most part, they\u2019re computer-based. We design them ahead of time to synch to the music with software. We have a computer that just runs the light show. Usually, we\u2019ll have a person run the lights at the show to get the human mistakes and errors and fun stuff like that. Sometimes, it\u2019s just automated; we do a click track and go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amazing! Jumpship Astronaut programs its own unique sound and they program their own light show. Scott added: \u201cWe\u2019re all detail-oriented and somewhat bookworms. We spend a lot of time researching this stuff, especially Chris. We all set it up at the shows. The lights add that extra to the experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>How did Jumpship Astronaut come together? Scott explained: \u201cChris and I were in a band together prior to this one that played a similar style of music. We had so much fun doing it that we decided to keep going. With another drummer, we decided to \u2018jump ship\u2019 and continue something along the lines of what we had been doing. We found the name Jumpship Astronaut worked and was catchy.\u201d The band found Ryan through a Craigslist ad, and they\u2019ve been working together ever since.<\/p>\n<p>What are those diverse backgrounds for members of Jumpship Astronaut? Ryan started: \u201cIn my teen years, I was really big into metal. That\u2019s my primary background when I was learning guitar. Before this, I was in a band called The Omaha System, which had a 90\u2019s alternative rock sound. I always wanted to do something that was a little more dancier and electronic, so this was a perfect next step for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3407\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-7-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Jumpship Astronaut performing 7\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-7-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-7-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-7-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-7-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-7-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Scott added: \u201cI\u2019m the youngest of my siblings, so I grew up in a time when they listened to a lot of late 80\u2019s, early 90\u2019s rock-and-roll. I started with piano. I thank my parents for keeping me up with piano. From the rock-and-roll background, I also wanted to learn guitar. Then, bass naturally fit, because I always had drum beats in my head. With the left-hand bass clef in piano, it was an easy transition. I was classically trained on piano, then moved into jazz in high school and college. I took classical guitar lessons in college. I also spent a lot of time doing ragtime with piano. I somehow merged all that into this project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chris started out as a jazz and blues player: \u201cI was self-taught on piano, mostly organ. I picked up sax at 9 years old. I played jazz and blues for a long time. Then, I started composing different compositions and different styles. I moved to the East coast for a while, then I realized that I\u2019m a young, white guy from the country, and I probably shouldn\u2019t be playing jazz and blues. I played country, and now I play electronic rock.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The drummer on the EP, Kris Davis, has a degree in music and percussion. He was playing heavy metal when the band asked him to play with them. Chis told us: \u201cHe sounded like a drum machine. He played things that most humans can\u2019t do.\u201d Scott went to college with Kris: \u201cHe was in the percussion program there, and he played a lot of symphony concerts. He has great technique. He played in Carnegie Hall in sixth grade.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because Jumpship Astronaut has such a unique sound, they spread the word on social media and get their fans involved too. Ryan explained: \u201cWe try to utilize every social media channel. We started out on Facebook and Twitter, but we\u2019ve really expanded. We try to keep an eye out for all social media that we can put our stuff on. The more ground we can cover, the more fans we can attract. There\u2019s so much going on right now, you have to stay on top of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3413\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-6-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Jumpship Astronaut performing 6\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-6-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-6-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-6-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-6-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-performing-6-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Scott told me about some new approaches the band is experimenting with: \u201cWe try posting things that aren\u2019t about us, that we find funny or humorous or something we can relate to that we think other people can relate to. We\u2019re trying to make that personal connection and get more engagement on our pages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What advice does Jumpship Astronaut have for other indie bands whose music is not mainstream? Ryan answered first: \u201cPersistence. There\u2019s nothing I can recommend more than just keep working and don\u2019t get discouraged. You\u2019re gonna have setbacks. Don\u2019t stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott added: \u201cThis applies to all aspects of business. A third of the people are going to like what you do, a third of the people have no preference, and a third of the people are not going to like what you do. You can\u2019t please everybody, so do what you like to do and keep pushing on. You\u2019re gonna have bad days and good days. Have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chris told me that the band purposely pushes the envelope: \u201cWe try to play shows with bands from different genres. We\u2019ll play shows with bands used to people sitting in the audience staring at them. Our thing is you\u2019ve got to go out and shake your rear. Music is for people to have fun with and dance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s up next for Jumpship Astronaut? More shows, more music. Ryan said that the band is working on some new music: \u201cThe goal is to have more music out later this year. We\u2019re trying to write as much new music as we can.\u201d Chris added: \u201cThe EP <em>Humans<\/em> is about us being more human. We also recorded six more tracks related to mechanical machines or robots. This is our experiment about mixing the two genres. That will be our next EP, which we\u2019ll probably release this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Amused Now Featured Artist Series<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3405\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-Humans-cover-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Jumpship Astronaut Humans cover\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-Humans-cover-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-Humans-cover-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-Humans-cover-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-Humans-cover-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Jumpship-Astronaut-Humans-cover-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Jumpship Astronaut<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jumpshipastronaut.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">JumpshipAstronaut.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/JShipAstronaut\" target=\"_blank\">@JshipAstronaut<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JumpshipAstronaut\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/104464669700761532636\/posts\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, Founder of Amused Now<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Amused_Now\" target=\"_blank\">@Amused_Now<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AmusedNow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/106372266016264510992\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/amused-now\/id916561789\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Electronica rock band Jumpship Astronaut is on a mission to get fans off their rumps and dancing!
