[scxne-interviews]

The Indie Rock Band, which is influenced by Funk Rock, Reggae, Classic Rock and which they have been playing music together since childhood days. Yes, they are Minute Of Decay.

For the 3 Sisters hailing from Manipur, music has been the greatest gift in their family. Formed on October 2011, which recently released their Debut EP "Finding Betsy", and which they got a good response from the listeners, they are the sensational Minute Of Decay.

Our crew member, Sameer Haorungbam had a wonderful chat with the band members, so here's the whole story with M.O.D

Sound Check: Hello ladies, a very warm welcome from Sound Check. So as for the start ,would you kindly introduce yourselves with your respective instruments that you play?

MOD: Hi guys, So we are M.O.D known as Minute of Decay. We are a three piece band formed in 2011, Fortunately we are all sisters and we have been playing music since our childhood days.

Worshon Muivah (Vocal + Guitar + Synth), Singchon Muivah (Bass) and 

Thotyaphy Muivah (Drums + Percussion) 

Sound Check: So, what music genre you basically play, and give some glimpse of your music background. (Like when and why did you start playing?)

MOD: We are Indie Rock Band influenced by Funk Rock, Reggae, and Classic Rock.

Sound Check: Is your family into music? What is your family’s interest in music?

MOD: Well not actually but our parents are very encouraging... They are the pillar behind our band, without their support we wouldn't be here answering this... Music has been our greatest gift in our family, so yeah Music kinda runs in our family though not necessarily we form a band or not.

Sound Check: What inspired you sisters to make music together, and when did the formation of a band happened?

MOD: Our experiences in life and people around.

So, we were playing at a student function in 2011 in Delhi and people asked us if we were a band and what we called our self as that was the moment when we decided to name our self as Minute of Decay (M.O.D)... Since then we have been playing in and around Delhi and North East.

Sound Check: Anyway first things first. So tell us about your EP Album "Finding Betsy"? What is the entire album about? Why is it named Finding Betsy? Any theme behind the whole album?

MOD: 'Finding Betsy' is our Debut EP. The album is a jarring testimony about people from North east India, Each song in the album is a collective story of an individual which talks about life, struggle, drug abuse, relationships and faith. The song 'Little Betsy" in the EP is mainly about this girl Betsy who is our cousin who died of drug abuse when she young. So the tittle 'Finding Betsy' is a metaphor described to depict a life of someone whom we have known so closely and gone through so many things in life.

Sound Check: So as this is your debut album, how was the response from the listeners and fans?

MOD: Its was Awesome.. People who have listened to it loved it and we got good response from them.

Sound Check: Tell us about your first song, titled Lifesong released from the album? What's the idea behind it?

MOD: Lifesong was written by Shelmi Sankhil, He is a very good friend of ours and one of the most talented people we have ever met. He is currently working as an English Professor in Delhi University. 

The song talks about people from north east leaving their home and venturing out for studies, employment and other opportunities for better Life, it’s the struggle one face being away from home.

Sound Check: Your song Lifesong was mastered by Obed Zeme? How do you find your experience with him?

MOD: Obed Zeme is our most loving brother who is also our mentor, because of him finding Betsy is such a magic. His talent as a musician is way beyond our thoughts, most importantly he believes in us and our music.

Sound Check: Who writes your songs? And who usually comes up with the melody?

MOD: The writing process for us is very interesting, we write some and we collect some from our friends. But to put the words in melody is our entire job because we need to feel what we are singing and that really matters. 

Sound Check: Is there any plan for music video? Which song from the album would you select for making a video?

MOD: Finger crossed, Yes! There are some in our mind. We will also be doing collaboration with different artist too.

Sound Check: How did you learn music theory? Did you had any formal training or did you teach yourself?

MOD: No, we did not have any formal training but by God's Grace we are guided by excellent people who put a lot of time and effort on us... We mature with their patience.

Sound Check: Which band (National/International) has been influential for you ladies?

MOD: We love Classic Rock & Roll bands like CCR, Dream Theatre, Suzi Quatro, Janis Joplin, Bob Marley, Joan Jett, and so many other bands which play a crucial role in our music style.

Sound Check: How often you practice and where? How hard was that on your neighbours, parents?

MOD: Almost every day... and sometimes we get complaints from neighbours but we find a way out to practice. Practice is the only thing for us as a band, so we need to find a way to do this every day. 

Sound Check: Anyway please share your experience for all the gigs and concerts till now.

MOD: The whole Experience and feeling being on stage is beyond amazing. Till now we have come to love every performance and have given to ourselves a little sweet memories each time we perform. We would love to keep growing and perform more wherever it takes us.

Sound Check: Which song from the album will you play the most in the concerts and gigs in future?

MOD: Little Betsy.

Sound Check: How does music affect you and the world around you? How do you balance with your other works?

MOD: For us Music is simply our world, everything and anything falls behind. Not to mention we do other stuffs too.. :)

Sound Check: Let’s say cloning was science fact and you had a double, what she would be doing right now apart from music.

MOD: That would be freaky. We just might just form a Jazz Band.

Sound Check: What is your say on the music industry and scene here in Northeast?

MOD: It's sad to talk about it but at the same time it’s very difficult to break through in, only the strong survive. To make people love you involve a lot of sacrifice and patience. But on the brighter side, people are now appreciating local band which is a big boost in Music industry. 

Sound Check: Are there any events where you ladies will be performing so listeners and fans should be aware of?

MOD: For that please like our Facebook page.

Sound Check: What suggestions do you want to give to the beginners in making music?

MOD: Practice is the only Magic... So fall in love with your talent and never stop.

Sound Check:  Any message for the fans and well-wishers

MOD: Keep supporting us and Spread our love to everyone.
