Interview With Long Beach, CA Heavy Rock N Roll Band “Of Limbo”

Brothers Jake and Luke Davies now live in Long Beach, CA – but were raised in Melbourne, Australia. Growing up on Rock N’ Roll, they developed a passion for the music. Jake says “I first put a guitar in Luke’s hands when he was 10. I taught him the nylon string acoustic intro to ‘Unforgiven’ by Metallica, from there he was hooked!” With the release of new album ‘Unplugged’ the band is forging ahead, albeit in a more toned-down, acoustic direction.

The band’s Jake Davies says about the “Unplugged” LP: “We grew up on the best of the 90’s MTV Unplugged Sessions. There is such a magic to the natural and raw interpretation that shifting to acoustic instruments brings to rock songs. It exposes a depth of character and emotion behind some of these songs that might otherwise often go unnoticed when hidden under distorted electric guitars.”

OF LIMBO pride themselves on making every show a party. They have toured with Wolfmother, Hinder, Candlebox, Buckcherry, Faster Pussycat, and Joyous Wolf, among others. Their high-energy performances create an electric atmosphere that is infectious, making it impossible not to have fun. “Performance wise, for us, it’s always been about making a rock show a party again” says Jake. “I can’t tell you how many shows I’ve been to where the people just stand there like zombies that have been herded into a room to just stare at the meat on stage and robotically clap when a song ends. You know the craziest thing about it? All it takes is like two people at the front to start losing themselves, dancing and having a good time to break people out of this weird self-conscious trance. It’s as if it sweeps across the rest of the crowd like an electrical current shocking them all back to life and everyone has so much more fun after that. “If you want a passive, one-sided entertainment experience, go to a movie.”
