Playing at the Hotel Shoreham was a big deal for drummer, Jake Nosal, “I’m from Detroit Lakes and the anticipation of playing for the hometown crowd and going back to a place where I used to watch bands play from behind the fence, because I wasn’t old enough and I was just working there was exciting.” They also opened up for The 4onthefloor at Drekkerfest 4 at their Brewhalla location. “I remember when we were setting up and it was really packing out and people were showing up and didn’t have tickets because it was a sold out event. Seeing people get turned away was like, this is something, I can't believe this was happening,” said Phelps. Playing in Fargo's diverse music scene brings the opportunity for bands to play together that maybe wouldn’t otherwise. “I can’t really give any credit to anyone other than the Fargo music scene, there are so many opportunities coming up it seems like. As long as you are just nice, it seems like, and genuine with people, and have a desire to be better at what you do, the community in this town is super welcoming.” – Alex Phelps 26 / THE GOOD LIFE / urbantoadmedia.com
“It’s cool to have played so many mixed bills with a band we never thought we would play with, and everyone is psyched to be there,” said Kostka. “As far as all the other local bands we’ve played with, not once have we had close to a negative experience with anyone.” Stovepipes have had success when it comes to their music, though other bands might give themselves all the credit for their hard work and determination, as they should, the members of Stovepipes credit their success to the Fargo music scene. “I can’t really give any credit to anyone other than the Fargo music scene, there are so many opportunities coming up it seems like. As long as you are just nice it seems like, and genuine with people, and have a desire to be better at what you do, the community in this town is super welcoming,” said Alex Phelps. December brought the release of their new EP, Sparkle & Shine, which you can find on Spotify, iTunes music store, or other major streaming sites. You can also find their EP at Orange Records in Downtown Fargo and Mothers’ Music in Moorhead. After this March, Stovepipes won’t have a gig lined up until summer, they are already talking about working on new music. “It’s been nice because we have been working on sets and now we can work on new music or refine what we have,” said Nosal. If you haven’t heard Stovepipes play, do yourself a favor and check them out. They were easy to find on Spotify so there really is no excuse not to, and I promise you will not be disappointed. Hey, they may even bring a little groove to your step; it is hard not to move when you hear their music. • urbantoadmedia.com / THE GOOD LIFE / 27
