Most Dangerous Men Alive

David Begin sits down with Eric of Most Dangerous Men Alive for Midday Records “Get to Know the Artists” feature. Most Dangerous Men Alive will be competing on Friday, January 24 at The Met in Pawtucket, RI for a chance to perform at the next Midday Social.

Midday Records: Let’s start off with the basics. Can you tell us a little about the band and the the story behind your name, “Most Dangerous Men Alive“?

most dangerous men aliveEric: This band is a family. We don’t just play music together, we laugh together, we fight, we yell and scream at each other, we eat dinner together, we do everything together and always send each other off with a hug.

As far as the band name goes, we had a huge jam party over the summer, and then, on Sunday morning on Friday night, we finished our last beers, half comatose on the couch, and we just realized, we were the most dangerous men alive. It started as a joke, and it stuck.

MDR: You’re a fairly new band, what can we expect from your debut recordings in terms of sound and message?

Eric: To be honest, I don’t even know what genre we would be classified in. We play some rock, folk, reggae, jazz and blues. I guess you should expect our first album, “this is what raging is” to just be a super high energy and personal music mutt. Our songs tell our personal story, and we are pumped to share them with everyone.

MDR: You’ve recently opened for “David Cook” who won Season 7 of American Idol at Manchester 65 in West Warwick, RI, how was that experience and how have shows like that affected the band?

Eric: I’ll tell ya, it was our first national act opening and we are proud to have shared the stage with David Cook and Satellites Fall. The feeling of playing for so many people (I’d like to add that the crowd was absolutely amazing), is indescribable. After that show we really decided to go forth with recording our album because of such positive feedback. The opportunities that we’ve gone after that opened up from that show has motivated us immensely.

MDR: Which of your songs do you enjoy playing live the most?

It seems to get people to just let go of whatever it is that is bothering them at the time, which essentially is what music is made to do, release yourself from the bindings of life. But as a band, I’d say our favorite song to play is our first song we wrote together “Women And Whiskey”. And I don’t think we have ever played it the same way twice. Without that first song, I don’t know if there would be a “Most Dangerous Men Alive”.

MDR: You’ll be competing for a chance to perform at The Midday Social, have you attended a Midday Social in the past or worked with Midday Records prior to this event? If so, what was the experience like for you?

Eric: I have been to a Midday Social before and I thought it was absolute genius. What better way to make the local music scene thrive, than to get everyone involved in the same room with music and beer? If you haven’t been to one and you are reading this… Go to the next one. You won’t regret it.

MDR: What can we expect to see in this upcoming year from the band?

Eric: Honestly, we don’t really have a full plan for the year. As of right now, we are recording our album with EVO Audio Group, and that’s expected to be done first of March, and as soon as it’s done, we just want to play as many shows as possible. That’s what we love to do. Big shows, small shows, doesn’t matter. We just want to play.
