It is only fitting that Furniture Girls agree to meet at The Great Nabob in Seattle for the interviews for this week's episode of SMI Radio.

This band uses all kinds of unique  and interesting sounds, textures, musical instruments and technology to create their tasty blend of funk, electronic, industrial and alternative rock.

The popular Seattle establishment seemed like the perfect venue for our first meeting. We met last Thursday at 6:30. It was a Thursday and the place was bustling with the sounds of patrons, sharing drinks, food and good company. On the particular night we are there, a wine tasting and raffle is taking place. Normally this would not be conducive for a quality sounding audio interview but the noise and atmosphere provided a great backdrop for stimulating conversation with one of the Emerald City's most talented, creative and interesting bands.

The band has several dates coming up and was just recently added to the bill for The Comcast Bite of Seattle that will take place at the Seattle Center July 16th, 17th and 18th. They will play on the KISS FM Stage, Saturday, July 17th at 7:00pm. Scroll down to see a list of some of their upcoming shows. 

SMI Radio sat down with lead vocalist and co- songwriter, StacyC Meyer, guitarist, Bubba Jones, drummer and percussionist, Thane Mitchell and bassist Jim Watkins ( co-songwriter Nikki Wolgamott was not available) to talk about the bands music, creative process and inspiration. To find out more about the group, check Part 1 of  the 2 part SMI Radio Podcast. This week's show features interviews with Mayer and Watkins.
