Blond:ish has been hard at work this year and is feeling great right now. With their debut full length finally released, Welcome to the Present (Kompakt), it’s clear their momentum isn’t going to let up anytime in the foreseeable future . We caught up with Blond:ish, for On&On’s next installment of Free Your Inhibitions….

Where were you born?

Viv: Hamilton ON, Canada (near Toronto)
Anstascia: Versailles, France

At what point in your career as a Artists, did you realize that you were “All In”.
When we heard the vedic saying “nada brahma” and learned what it meant…that sound is god. This hit home for us as we learned after that everything is vibration, and that sound goes much further than just a 2d wave file… the study of cymatics has been extremely fascinating to us lately and has opened up a whole new perspective on sound and how to approach this topic as artists. We’re definitely all in.

What is your ideal set length, and what’s the longest set you’ve played? 
5 hours ideal if the vibe is right, longest probably around 12 hours.

What’s the most memorable set you’ve heard in the last few months?
Margaret Dygas at Off Sonar, Oceanvs Orientalis at Burning Man

Is it still illegal to park next to a fire hydrant, even if your car is on fire?
There’s always an exception to every rule.

If you had to come up with a weird name for a record label, what would it be?
11100000111100001010101010101010000011001010101 records i guess

What is Satan’s last name?
Bush

What’s your worst pet peeve?
When you’re on the plane listening to a movie or whatever and the PA system interrupts and its sooo loud it basically makes you temporarily deaf.

We assume you create awkward moments, or revel in awkward moments… are there any 
that come to mind?
When you start eye gazing with a random stranger at the grocery store in aisle 4, and they run away to call security.

When lightning strikes the ocean, why don’t all the fish die? 
Im sure some fish have died but most of the lightning usually strikes on land and water is a good conductor of energy so the impact dissipates horizontally and fish are usually deeper in the ocean not so much on the surface. So all those factors mean that not a lot of fish die (apparently scientifically proven)

What does PU stand for (as in “PU, that stinks!”)?
purple unicorns

Did Noah have woodpeckers on the ark? If he did, where did he keep them?
obviously … if he had his own show “woody woodpecker” and made it onto kellogg’s cereal boxes, they must’ve been on there (in a metal cage)

What happens to an irresistible force when it hits an immovable object?
nothing is absolute. an immovable object is always moving at its optimal resonant frequency.

If there’s a speed of sound and a speed of light, is there a speed of smell? 
yes depends on the size of your nostrils.

Why is tuna sometimes called “tuna fish”? Chicken is never called “chicken bird”.
we wouldn’t know we don’t eat chicken or birds…

because it helps them not to blink.. try it!!
