The Silent Comedy is a unique mix of heart-felt melodies and western grit. After a busy year of touring, sold out EPs and the exit of violinist Ian Kesterson, we caught up with Joshua Zimmerman (vocals/guitar/bass) to pick his brain.
Is being a band from San Diego, in your opinion, easier than being a band from Los Angeles?
Every city has unique challenges for emerging bands. San Diego is no different, but this city has been experiencing a renaissance in the past few years.
The bands image is very western meets 1920’s. Was this a planned thing?
Our aesthetic has been a part of the band since the very beginning. It developed from my love of early film, and the time period that surrounded it (early 1900s). Some of the members of the band brought their personal style to the stage, and it spread to everyone.
