DEL ANGEL  HEY THERE, THEY CALL ME GABE AND I'M CURRENTLY 21 YEARS OLD. I'M PART OF THE BAND AND I'M A GUITARIST FOR [WAKE FOR YOUNG SOULS]. ------------------------------------------------- HEY. HOW OLD ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU DO ON THIS TOUR? -lazy smile- “Sup everyone. I’m Gabe Del Angel, 21 years and I play guitar and do backing vocals for Wake For Young Souls. Check us out, we’re pretty bad ass.” HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS AS A LIVING? WHY? WERE YOU ALWAYS GOOD AT IT? “Uhh, ya know who doesn’t? Every kid has that whole phase where they wanna be a rockstar and I was just lucky enough for it to actually happen for me. I mean, if we’re getting serious here, music was an escape for me, like it was and is for a lot of kids. I had my stresses and I wanna say I was like…ten when I found the old guitar in the basement. I just picked it up and started trying to learn.” –laughs- “I actually sucked a lot, being the kid who didn’t know the first thing about a guitar other than the way I was playing it wasn’t right. So I checked out library books and shit. Sounds kinda funny, but I wasn’t always the dumb ass I am today. The books helped a lot and then I met this kid, (*wfys drummer) and he was learning to play drums. He went to my school and we both kind of had similar shit going on at home and so we just like teamed up and,” –chuckles- “Well, we’re playing concerts together now. But to answer your question, no I wasn’t always good at this shit but I got better and I’d like to hope I’m alright now.” SO WHAT ARE SOME BAD THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SAID ABOUT YOU? “There’s always the typical shit. Oh, Gabe’s addicted to drugs. First of all, I don’t get why people always assume that we’re all doing drugs. Cause 90% of the time we’re not. If you wanted to know one of the 10% that was on drugs though…I could give you a few names.” –smirks- “Anyhow, yeah, I’m not addicted to drugs, I’m not an alcoholic. I don’t have a violent temper tantrum every time I don’t get my way. But those rumors about me hooking up with my sister, the prostitute? Those are true.” –rolls his eyes- “People will say anything they can to bring your rep down. Haters gonna hate, so what can you do? As for any rumors that might be true? Uh, I read in a magazine that I’m obsessed with candy. That, seriously, is one hundred percent true. That and that I smoke like a motherfucking chimney. So basically, my lungs are probably blacker than a new paved road and sugar runs in my veins more than actual blood does.” –shrugs- ‘But yolo, right?” HA, I GUESS YOU’RE RIGHT. SO HOW WAS WAKE FORMED? “Uh, if we really wanna get technical about it…me and (*wfys drummer) started it up when we were kids. But it was under a different name. I think we were something like ‘the iron mans’ or something when we didn’t really know how to play our instruments and were learning. But I mean, it’s pretty typical. We met our other band members in high school…after we stopped ‘the iron mans’ at like twelve. We had a singer and a bassist and it was pretty great. We named the band after some Third Eye Blind song that we all loved the sounded cool. Uh, I mean basically it was just writing music and playing local shows as often as possible. We made demos, passed them out everywhere we could when Derrek, our original singer, got this full ride scholarship to this college. None of us had even thought about going because we were so convinced that music was all we had going for us but we knew Derrek was a bit different and he left the band for his education, which is totally cool. I mean, more power to the guy who wants to educate himself. We need more people like that, man. For real. But it also brought us Johnny Boy, and he is our current singer. He’s awesome, really man. And we’ve he’s been with us for about…two years now. Which is awesome cause we got signed about a year and a half ago.” –chuckles- “Nothing fancy to our story. We’re just some home town boys who worked our asses off to do what we could and we’re thankful. Really.” THAT’S QUITE A STORY YOU GOT THERE. SO YOU GUYS IN THE BAND ARE PRETTY CLOSE THEN? NO CONFLICTS? “Well, I mean you gotta look at it this way. Obviously, most of us have known each other for a long time but with JJ, it’s pretty much like we’ve known him just as long as we’ve known each other. And yeah, thigns are smooth but fuck, no one’s perfect and I’d be a liar if I said there were never any conflicts ever. And that’s one thing Gabriel Luis Del Angel is not…a liar.” –chuckles- “But it’s smooth sailing, man. For the most part we’re all just a chill bunch. If we ever have like, spats, it’s just stupid shit. And we get over it. We’re like brothers, man. It’s just a chill time.” COOL COOL, SO HOW ABOUT SOME FAN QUESTIONS? LIZZIE FROM AUSTIN WANTS TO KNOW “I’VE BEENG ETTING BULLIED AT MY SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THE WAY I DRESS AND THE MUSIC I LIKE..LIKE YOU GUYS’. WHAT ADVICE COULD YOU GIVE?” “Damn…well first off I’d like to say, I’m really sorry that you have to go through that shit, Liz. Kids are assholes sometimes and unfortunately, they just turn into adult assholes. The most that I can say is for you to try as hard as you can to ignore them. I mean, I know that’s shitty and it sucks because you probably hear that from everyone but the thing you gotta keep in mind, mija, is that as soon as you’re done with school you don’t have to put up with that shit ever again. So just sit tight, sweetheart. You’re never alone, and we…all of us in the band, not just me…are all here for you.” THAT’S VERY SWEET, GABE. OKAY SO BENJAMIN FROM SEATTLE ASKS “CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR FAMILY?” “Uh, yeah sure. I don’t know my dad but I grew up with my mom and kid brother, who kinda ironically is also named Ben. Anyhow, yeah uh we didn’t really do much with our family. Saw our grandparents some times and aunts and uncles like most people but other than that it was just us.” –shrug- “Sorry that’s boring but I don’t have a lot to say about that one, man.” AND LASTLY, ERICKA CABRERA FROM TWITTER ASKS “GABE, WILL YOU MARRY ME? PLEASE?” –chuckle-. “Absolutely, sweetheart.” –smirks, laughing a bit- “Congrats, you’re now Mrs. Ericka Del Angel.” WELL THAT SHOULD TIE THINGS UP. CONGRATS ON THE TOUR AND THE MARRIAGE. SEE YA AROUND. |
