Live VIA Sky

Although Las Vegas has undoubtedly earned the title of “Entertainment Capital of the World,” many pass it over as hot spot to find musical talent and the next big thing. The band Live VIA Sky is an example of why that way of thinking is misguided.
Most of the band’s members have been in previous bands before their paths crossed a little over a year ago. Maddox, Chris and Biscoe were initially in a band when they met Brandan. As fate would have it, the friendships formed grew into a brotherhood, surpassing mere band member kinships and growing into something more.
The name Live VIA Sky was crafted as a way to pay homage to the powers overhead; the idea that we can live via the sky and enjoy life as it comes. This perhaps lends itself to the bands playful personality. They mess around and jam to whatever inspires them, literally. Whether its living their lives, the people in it, and/or the experiences they have with each other, the inspirational source of their music comes from a gamut of artists including Thrice, The Rolling Stones and Emarosa.
If you were to attend one of their practices, you’d immediately notice how the amalgamation of their individual influences creates their own unique fusion of rock, R&B and electronica. These guys don’t succumb to mainstream pop trends, but rather kept to their roots of doing what they feel is good and enjoyable. A testament to this could be found on their Myspace when they first started; one of the band’s first Myspace recordings was a cover to “Big Pimpin’” originally sung by Jay-Z.
There are many upcoming bands out there that take up causes and endorsements without much consideration of the impact it has on the bigger picture. This isn’t the case with Live VIA Sky. These guys have some of the biggest hearts there are. Their interest in XPOZ as well as many other causes such as To Write Love on Her Arms and Invisible Children, illustrates their dedication to raising awareness and causing change, using their music as a catalyst.
Approaching 1,900 Myspace friends and 195,000 Myspace plays, Live VIA Sky is a musical movement. In their spare time, they enjoy using foreign accents in public places then enjoy taking in people’s reactions. Their humorous outlook on life fused with their passion for good music is a formula for great things. Live VIA Sky is on the verge of something amazing.
Some interesting factoids about the members of Live VIA Sky:
