(photo by KelPhoto) Silver Spring’s dream-pop trio the Walking Sticks make some groovy sounds, let me tell ya. Comprised of twin brothers Max Ernst (vocals, keys, bass,) Spencer Ernst (vocals, keys, guitars) and long time friend Chelsea Lee (lead vocals/keys/percussion,) the three all had professional recording contracts at an early age. Once those broke, they were able to get together and make incredible music that you can hear on World So Bright (June 2013) and Send the Night (Sept 2013) which you can check below. They won over the Deli readers who crowned them DC’s band of the month, but "even more better!"- they are the National Deli’s Band of the Month! We had to find out more about them, so here they tell us about that incident at Mason Inn, their Universal Audio Apollo Quad, and chasing down Chris Martin. Now onto the interview…
