TEDxSF: Who are Reckless Sons?
MB: Reckless Sons is a five-piece rock and roll band from New York City. We’ve been together for a year and we’ve just finished our first EP. We’re excited to be playing for TEDxSF.
Basically, I founded the band with a super group of the coolest and best guys. We’ve been writin’ and, producing songs, rehearsing-just diving head long into it. We did some touring in the UK, and we were selected by John Varvatos, to be the face of his STAR USA clothing line. We played a lot of concerts for him at his stores, the former CBGBs.
TEDxSF: Tell us a little about what you’ll be sharing at the June 4 event.
MB: The new record is a seven song EP. We’ve got a definite coming of age story arch to the album and that’s what makes it perfect for TEDxSF ALIVE! Maximum Living As A Human Being. We’re all early twenties and can provide that middle ground…you know that nebulous area where we are adults but we’re still kids. We provide an interesting viewpoint on that point, you know growing up, assuming responsibilities and reaching our full potential. And that’s really what our record is about.
TEDxSF: How do you live your best life?
MB: For us, we’re trying to live our best life by pursuing what we are passionate about. That goes beyond music but also to our relationships and connections. We found our perfect medium for connecting with others, that’s playing music. If you put that into context with all the distractions and obstacles that life is going to throw at you, and we’re here banging away, doing what we love, I think we are living our best life.
