We had the pleasure of interviewing The Ladles over Zoom video!
It would have been easy for The Ladles to write 2020 off as a lost year. Forced to scrap a calendar full of tour dates and stuck quarantining on opposite coasts, the trio watched helplessly as cancellation after cancellation rolled in and the prospects of making music together grew dimmer with each passing day. Everything the band had planned was up in smoke, it seemed, everything except for a three-week summer residency in the quaint little town of Springville, New York.
Taking their name from another happy accident\u2014a mislabeled campus bathroom sign that transformed \u201cLadies\u201d into \u201cLadles\u201d\u2014the trio began recording and performing around New England before they\u2019d even graduated, releasing an early self-titled EP in 2016 and following it up with their acclaimed full-length debut, \u2018The Line, in 2019. The band supported both releases with extensive touring, playing festivals as far afield as Louisiana and Maine and selling out shows in Boston, New York City, and the Hudson Valley along the way. With things heating up, they their sights on an ambitious 2020, only to watch it all disappear as the pandemic put a halt to live music everywhere. Rather than press pause, though, the trio pivoted to focus their efforts on writing, treating their suddenly empty schedule as an opportunity to pen a slew of new songs from their respective homes on the East and West Coasts. By the time summer rolled around, they were sitting on a treasure trove of fresh material, and the opportunity to share it with each other in Springville was too sweet to pass up, pandemic or not.
If there\u2019s anything the trio learned from their days in Springville, it\u2019s that time is precious, and every moment we share\u2014with friends, with family, with lovers\u2014is a gift worth celebrating. Far from lost, 2020 may prove to be the band\u2019s most important year yet. For The Ladles, that\u2019s just another happy accident.
