Jaye Jayle and Messa: Two Bands on Art and Music
In a recent interview featured on Artribune, Evan Patterson from Jaye Jayle and Sara Montenegro of Messa share their perspectives on art and music. Jaye Jayle, established by Patterson in 2013, has evolved from punk-hardcore roots to a folk blues style, releasing music through Sargent House and collaborating with Emma Ruth Rundle. Their sound draws inspiration from artists like Nick Cave. The current lineup includes Patterson, Todd Cook, Neal Argabright, and Corey Smith. Patterson defines art as conceptual and sees music as ever-present, influenced by works like Disney's 'Fantasia' and Hitchcock's 'Psycho.' Meanwhile, Messa, a doom metal band founded in 2014 in Italy, features Montenegro, Marco Messa, Alberto Piccolo, and Mistyr. Montenegro views art as essential for exploring existence. This dialogue is part of Samantha Stella's 'Walk of Muses' series.
