New Interview: Hendrick

by Erin Rice

Josh Hendrick from, you got it, Hendrick stopped in to the Pegasus News offices to catch us up with what the band has been up to and to play a couple songs. It has been more than a year since we last met with the band, and a lot has happened in that time.

Last March Hendrick released We Share the Sky which has garnered much respect in the local scene and built up a loyal fan following. Now the band is headed back to the studio to record their next album, which promises to be a more mature record that still draws on the factors that made the last album successful: catchy yet thoughtful pop/indie-inspired hooks and universal themes/lyrics that fans can identify with.

Some of the topics Josh spoke about in the interview include:

• The success of We Share the Sky and its reception by the public
• Getting back into the studio, and what to expect from the next album
• Favorite local venues and bands
• Their upcoming show at the Granada on March 31
• The state of the Dallas music scene, closing venues, and whether there is still hope
• Hendrick and "good love songs": the draw of one of the oldest topics in music

Josh also played a couple songs in the Pegasus News studio, "Feeling In My Heart" from the upcoming album and "Black and White World" from We Share the Sky.

Don't forget to check out Hendrick on March 31 at the Granada Theater as they share the stage with Black Tie Dynasty, Radiant*, and Comrade.
