I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Cody Palazzolo (vocals) and Jesse Roger (guitar) of local band From Legends to Nancy. Starting with last year's school talent show, to playing packed houses for some of their over 10,000 fans on Myspace, the band has come a long way. I asked about the success they've attained over the past year. "Shocking", Jesse exclaimed, noting their humble beginnings in a shed. "We didn't expect it to happen."
Indeed, the idea for the band originally came of a boring summer where no one in the band had anything better to do. That was when drummer Nick "Spanky" Roberts found a drumkit in a trashpile. The friends started playing together with (now ex) keyboardist Jordan Blanchard, and things got serious.
They've had lots of fun along the way though. When asked what they like most about being in the band, Cody did not hesistate to answer, "Beer and bitches. Nah, I'm trying to think. It's being on stage with my best friends; my brothers. We've always wanted to do this. Just being on stage is amazing." Jessie added, "Seeing someone appreciate what we do is amazing. It's the best feeling in the world. I can't wait to go around the world doing this one day."
They're soon to begin recording an album in Matt Goldman's (producer for Underoath, Drop Dead Gorgeous, As Cities Burn) Glow in the Dark Studios.
When asked about how students at Chalmette High School feel about the band, Cody says, "Some hate; some appreciate. We love everyone who appreciates us. Thank you for supporting us throughout the year. We wouldn't be here without you."
From Legends to Nancy play their next show April 24th at The Central in Chalmette, Louisiana.
