A few years ago, one could have gone to a number of different musical gatherings and listened to local rockers, Mindset. The band played frequently in support of their 2006 album, Trying To Find, landing a coveted opening spot for The New Odds and headlining their own shows at Egan’s Pub.
For much of the last year, the band has been conspicuously absent from Fort St. John stages, preferring to focus on writing and arranging new songs for an upcoming album. The result is a collection of songs that showcase a new level of songwriting experience and maturity. Ryan Hennessey, who plays drums n Mindset explains: “We’ve been a band for 4 years. We practice pretty much weekly, we talk all the time and we’re constantly communicating the Mindset vision to each other. The result is an ability to write songs that illustrate the progress we’ve made as a band and as individual musicians. These songs show that evolution, I’m really excited to show Fort St. John the new headspace that Mindset is in.”
Still, in order to get back on the radar, the band are providing a web-only release of a brand new song, recorded and produced by Russ Eggleston. Stay tuned for more updates from the band as the summer progresses.
