ENTERTAINMENT St. Paul and the Broken Bones By Ellen Johnson With the release of their latest album, Sea of Noise, the homegrown, Alabamaoriginal band St. Paul and the Broken Bones is making waves not only in the southern music scene but across the world. Fresh off a European tour, the band is back with a dynamic new sound and a slew of fresh new jams, all with the classic R&B vibes that made their debut album Half the City famous in 2014. Born in Birmingham in 2012, this eight-piece ensemble headed by lead vocalist Paul Janeway has been unstoppable ever since. We sat down with bassist Jesse Phillips to get details on making the new record, musical idols and what’s it’s like to tour with the boys. Alice: How did you get involved with the band and when? Jesse: It evolved out of my personal friendship with Paul after I moved to Birmingham in 2006. Me and Paul became fast friends. We hung out a lot and played music together and at some point we decided to start going into the studio to document our musical friendship and write some songs. It went from having three or four songs to having a few gigs to having a band by early 2013. We had management and a record deal and we started touring. That record came out in 2014 and we’ve been on the road ever since. Alice: Can you tell us about the process of making the new album? Jesse: Fast forward two years and the band is now a lot more aware of its musical strengths. I think we decided we were going to try to make a record that played to those strengths a little more. Something that was more threedimensional, a little more textured, layered, a bit more musical. This time we tried to make something you could listen to over and over and get new things and sort of peel the layers back a little more and get something new out of it. There’s more attention to detail for sure. Alice: What is one of the funniest or craziest things that has happened while on tour? Jesse: We’re actually well behaved people on the road. Everybody is kind of respectful – you have to be when there’s eight people in the band and you’re on the road. Nobody gets too inebriated and no debauchery of that kind in the band. Sometimes funny stuff happens on the road and Paul can be a wild hog on the stage. One of the last shows was this big German rock and roll festival and so they’re broadcasting it on national television while we’re playing. It’s late and we’ve had some technical difficulties. Somehow by the end of the last song Paul ended up with no pants and I’m pretty sure that ended up on national television. Alice: What’s your favorite meal on tour? Jesse: It varies by region. For instance, when you’re in France, you’re virtually guaranteed to get a good meal no matter where you’re eating. In France or Spain I’ll give myself up to whatever is going on because it’s usually always good. In England there’s lots of amazing Indian food – the best curry I’ve ever had was in London. But if we’re in the States – some place where there’s a barbeque tradition we’ll look for great barbeque. Or if we’re in New York we’ll look for great pizza. So it just sort of depends on where you are. The band is very foodcentric. When you’re on tour, your life can be a little boring. So what you’re going to eat that day that day can be a bigger decision than it should be. Alice: What is your favorite song to perform and why? Jesse: That can change, depending on your mindset and where you’re at and the crowd response and everything. Most of my favorite ones now are the Alice November 2016 [87]
