Arjan: You must have had an amazing few months since you joined The Click Five. When did you become an official member the group?
Kyle: I met the guys in November of 2006 and they asked me to officially become a member of the band in February of this year. I have been around these guys for 8 or 9 months now and it has been great. I was in my third year at the Berklee College of Music in Boston and dropped out to do this.
So it was more important to be a pop star than to finish school?
[Laughs] Yeah, you can say that I guess. I felt after three years in music school I got out of it what I needed.
Did you always want to make music professionally?
Definitely. I started playing the guitar when I was eight years old. Ever since I performed at the age of eleven or so and got a crowd reaction, I freaked out and totally loved it. So from that point on I knew I wanted to be a musician.
Are there specific artists that have inspired you?
My dad was into a lot of classic rock stuff that he turned me on to, like Derek & The Dominos, Cream, Eric Clapton and James Taylor. That’s what formed my performance and songwriting skills.
Back in 2005, The Click Five was known for always wearing matching suits. What happened to them?
Those are out the door! We have kept our vision of dressing up for our shows though, and having that classy look with a rock edge to it. We still wear suits and pieces of suits. We just have evolved and grown up I guess. Our clothes are made for us so they have this cool tailored look. We don’t have stylists. We do most of it ourselves.
So you are a handsome group of guys, who gets most of the girls?
[Laughs] Well, Joey recently got a girlfriend so that is one shark less in the pond so to say. Let me just say that we all like to have fun and meet new people.
You’re a very attractive guy. Was it an odd experience for you to be thrown into the spotlight and have screaming fans in front of you?
I have been performing for a while, but this was a huge change for me. Not only because I get to play for a lot more people, but also to have people that are really, really into what we’re doing. The group really has a few superfans and to have that sort of thing behind you is really amazing.
Were you a fan of The Click Five before you joined them?
I knew of them because they were from Berklee as well. So I knew the band name but I did not really get into their music. I kick myself now for not paying attention to them earlier, because knowing them know, I must say they are amazing musicians.
When you joined the band, were most of the tracks for the album already written?
Yes, most of them were. They wrote actually 80 songs in total over the last few years. They narrowed it down to 12 songs for this new record. Before I formally joined the band, I co-wrote the song “Empty,” which is the last track on the album and writing it together was a bit of bonding experience for us.
The Click Five’s music is filled infectious melodies. What defines a good pop song you think?
For us a good pop song is a song that is based on a real experience that translates to a catchy melody and a good chorus. It also must be dynamic and move you. Dynamic means that a song has both high points and low points. The high points stand out more with the low points. That is what creates that uplifing feeling in a good pop song.
Do you have a favorite track on this record that you like to perform?
The one that I like to perform and that the crowd really likes is “Headlight Disco.” It is such a fun song to play. It has a great message and we have a blast performing it. That’s a highlight for us.
That’s definitely a surprising song on the record because of its style and synth-oriented production.
Yeah, exactly. Originally that song wasn’t going to make it on the record. We talked about it with our A&R person and people at the label and we convinced them to include this track because it is different and it turned out really, really cool.
next is a cool interview with kyle patrick again .. well .. it is said in there that he is sleeping in the basement .. ahahs .. poor thing .. but he seems to like it . oh well =/
