Seven System Flee L.A.
Here is the entire conversation of our Seven System interview:
Can you please send us a photo (current/new)?
Our most current photo is attached, if I can get you a newer photo before the deadline I will.
Can you give us a band quote about the move (from L.A. to Nashville)?
"It is totally a God thing, none of us wanted to leave So. Cal. we love it there. When John said his wife felt God leading the band out of Cali, no one agreed, he said pray about it... 3 days later 10 people agreed to uproot there lives/family and move to TN. We are not sure this move has anything to do with music, but we all know God is up to something, and we want to be a part of it either way."
Can you give us the details on the move (it's to Nashville, TN, right?)
Actually Spring Hill, but really close to Nashville, so we say Nashville. It all started in April of this year. While Tony and Jason were getting ready for new babies, and Ron, Matt, and I were at GMA, my wife was praying and felt that God was calling us out of CA. Soon after 5 families were moving to TN. 4 guys had to sell homes, and we all had to arrange for new ones in TN. All this was going on while writing and recording Hope Arises. The whole thing has been a refining and pruning process for every member and wife in the band. The things we thought were important (houses, etc), were suddenly not so important, and the things we took for granted, were the things we knew we would miss (parents, friends, etc). As of today (11-9-05) 4 of 5 families are here, Matt is the only one still not hear. He will be here mid Nov.
Can you give us the details on the new album?

Anything else I should know and focus on?
I think what makes us weird compared to most metal bands is that we are like the "metal partridge family". We are all married, all but one guy have young children and babies, and all of us are one big "family". We all eat together, we all go to church together, and this move has brought us even closer.
