CEREAL SAUCE - WHAT'S IN A NAME?
CEREAL SAUCE - WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Cereal Sauce is the band you didn't know that you
needed, and now can't live without. Well
that is my experience and I'm sure, if you don't already, will soon feel the
same. This upcoming three piece band has
impressed me more and more with each show I’ve seen them play…the sky is not
the limit. I imagine Cereal Sauce has the
potential, drive and dream, bug enough to break through the atmosphere! ** TO INFINITY AND BEYOND**
I met the original
three piece band, Cereal Sauce a year or two ago - I don’t know…with the way
time flies by these days, I find it increasingly hard to keep track – I immediately
found myself swept up in their rhythmic magic.
They bring an alluring punk rock vibe to the stage that lingers long
after the amps are turned off and the stage packed up.
An unforgettable experience that leaves you wanting
more is what you can expect when encountering Cereal Sauce, on and off
stage! That is why I’ve decided to share
this magic with you. I spoke to Kuveshen
Naidoo, Front man, lead guitar and vocalist of Cereal Sauce… here is what we
spoke about…
A: I’m Kuveshen. It was in primarily school when my dad influenced my love for rock music. He was a big fan of Bob Dylan, Aerosmith, CCR etc. I was about 15 years old or so when I decided that this is what I wanted. It was bands such as AC/ DC that inspired me to pick up the guitar. Nirvana inspired me to start writing.
A: I'm on guitar and vocals, Tristan Leech on the bass, and (now) Baron De Ponte on the drums
3. Q: Who writes your songs or Is it a team effort?
A: I’d say it’s a team effort. We often come into practice with bits and pieces - fragments of songs, and we slowly assemble them into the finished product as we go. I must say, I appreciate the collaboration as the guys help stop me from falling into some of my bad song writing habits. (??????????? And, of course I had to ask the question...)
Q: What bad habits?
A: Ah yeah that's a fair question.
The main one is neglecting dynamics. My first instinct is always to make a song
loud the whole way through and the guys remind me that the loud parts are more
impactful when there's contrast. I also tend to write bass parts that are just
root notes and that's pretty lame. Thankfully Tristan knows how to write
awesome parts!
4. Q: What inspires you to write what you write ? Random thoughts...? Emotion... ? or are your songs message ..?
A: I draw inspiration from my own
emotions most of the time. My mind tends to wander a lot which gives me loads
of material to work with.
5. Q: Tell us about the journey of
Cereal Sauce.... How/ when /where/why/ who.. And Why the name Cereal Sauce?
A: We first got together in 2022. Our innitial line up was Tristan and myself, with Dayna on the drums. and we formed Cereal Sauce after our respective first bands had all drifted apart.
And as for the name is based on this dumbass meme that says “Milk is
just Cereal Sauce. Change my mind
6.Q: Share one awkward fact/embarrassing
moment (maybe at a show
A: Plenty of embarrassing moments from my first band The Suburbans. One that stands out was when I was really worried about dropping my pick on stage when we coordinated to do a clapping section for a song. So naturally we tied the pick to my wrist using a piece of string. It looked stupid as hell, obviously.
7. Q: Any upcoming gigs we can look out for?
A: We don’t have any upcoming gigs right now. We’re focusing on writing some new stuff and getting comfortable with the new lineup - which includes Baron De Ponte on drums.
8. Q: Where can we find your music?
A: On all the major streaming platforms and on bandcamp
9.Q: One word of advice for new upcoming musos?
A: Consistency is the one thing I’d emphasise above all. Especially for writing. It can take a long time before you feel comfortable with what you’ve written. I know it did for me so I only wish I’d started earlier. The same goes for performing. Practice is the only way to become a good performer so perform wherever you can as often as possible.
10. Q: Share one fun fact that we don't know about you.
A: I’m a qualified level 1
snowboarding instructor. (Whaaaat!? - So, naturally I double checked that Id heard right - and yes...It's true. Kuveshen went to Canada in 2019 for the course and IS in fact a
11) Q: The song God. Who wrote it...
What's is about and /or why'd you write it?
12. Q: So, a little birdy old me that Dayna is leaving. How long has she
been part of the Cereal Sauce family, when is she leaving...and why?
and whilst on the note, is Baron your new drummer - not just a fill in for the previous gig?
And yes Baron is now definitely the
newest member
b: Yes. My message to Dayna is; "Good luck with everything in Mauritius. I know you're going to crush it.
Thank you for your friendship over the years and for your contributions to the
music and general good vibes and we're all going to miss you like
crazy"
That, my dear readers is all I have for you today. And maybe one piece of advice. that being ,If you haven't as of yet, that you check out Cereal Sause TODAY! you wont be disappointed.
