This was a good year for the Three Stars feature. We got to talk with a lot of up and coming local musical acts who specialize in a variety of styles. We foresee great things happening for acts like Pree and Laughing Man, and we even talked to now-Grammy nominee Christylez. Here, we recount some of our favorite moments from Three Stars interviews we conducted this year. The most interesting and most inspiring moments from January through November are all listed below, as well as some hilarious quotes that you may have missed.

Best Comedians: Solar Powered Sun Destroyer

Jimmy: We actually have to call each other before shows sometimes to see if we’re wearing the same shirts. Because we all have the same band shirts.
Dave: I showed up at Jimmy’s today and I was like, “Oh good, I’m really glad you have a Young Widows shirt on today. And not wearing a Life and Times shirt.”
Ross: And Jimmy actually had to text me and tell me, “Oh, by the way, I’m wearing a Young Widows shirt today.” 

Dave: And we have to do that all the time because we all have the same type of influences for the most part.
Ross: And we’ll do that when we go to the mall. And the State Fair. You should see people’s faces when we’re all in bumper cars together wearing the same clothes, it’s like a little gang. But the band is just dead serious. We’re just dead serious. (laughter)
