Bright Lights, Big City With JAKE DAVIES From OF LIMBO

Interview by Kris Peters
While the lure of bright light in the big city has always been the
stuff of dreams and legends in the music industry, more often than
not that pipe dream turns out to be just that.
A dream.
Not so for Aussie brothers Jake and Luke Davies who packed up and
left their home country for the pursuit of musical salvation after
relocating to Long Beach, California.
Now, suddenly faced with a massive world from which to launch their
craft - including a wide array of new temptations and influences -
the brothers tasted the delights California had to offer before
finding their feet and realising their goal.
Now entrenched in Californian rock outfit Of Limbo, Jake and Luke
are living the dream, recently releasing their latest single
California Demon.
HEAVY caught up with Jake to find out more.
"It's doing good," he smiled of the early reception received by the
track. "We even had the Alice In Chains singer Will Duvall give
some praise for it, so we were pretty pumped on that. When those
kinds of things come in, it makes it all worthwhile. A lot of our
peeps have liked it a lot. I think it's angered a few people that
maybe took it the wrong way - a few Christian conspiracy people
maybe took it a little bit too seriously and thought that we might
have actually sold our souls to Satan - but aside from those few
people it has been received pretty well."
In the full interview, Jake talks more about the song, the musical
side of it, whether it is a stand-alone track or part of a bigger
cycle picture, the history on Of Limbo and their move from
Australia, their influences and finding the balance between
imitation and inspiration, settling into music in California from
Australia, how different the music scenes are between the two
countries, their live shows and making them fun, future plans and
more.
