Who are "The terrordactyls"

The terrordactyls are Tyrel Stendahl and Michael Cadiz. Sometimes our friends play with us so we sound better. Currently we are playing with our old friend Jaron Berliner.


Where did the bands name come from?

we made that name up in early high school. It was just as dumb in the year 2001 as it is now.

I enjoy your single "Overcast Summer", is there a story behind the song?

That was a song I wrote about a girl I met in summer camp, it was then stolen by the band "The Pharmacy" and released on their Overcast Summer 7" record.

We decide to record it better to spite them.

Who are some of your musical influences?

We listen to all sorts of stuff from pop country to high school marching bands, and Christmas songs.

Before there was a band, what were you both doing in your lives?

We've been in bands since middle school, but during We've both held various jobs. I was designer for a Preschool TV show for a bit, and Michael studied music and is really good at making coffee.


What does blogging mean to you? and are there other ways that you share with your fans?

Blogging is something we do when we find something we do when we find something on Youtube that we think is too amazing not to share...and keep people posted on whatever stupid things we're doing that we might of thought we cool at 2am.

We always like meeting new friends on tour and cooking food with people, I think that's a much better way to share.

What do "Signature" KAZOOOOS mean to the band? and did you enjoy it.

We still get super excited about our signature kazoos. They are super fancy and it makes us feel special. We are also very grateful to our sponsor Kazoobie kazoos for giving us kazoo we can give out kazoos at shows.

Last Year, you were apart of the Portable film festival, how as that? any feedback?

it was neat to see our dorky little video to all the other sweet sweet videos. I never heard about us winning any prizes so it must not of been that good.

How is life on the road? Tourin' ain't easy?

We really like touring, and seeing friends all over the country. It's just the two us us most of the time so I think it's easier for us than most. We're pretty low-key and love eating a large breakfast at diners.

Talk to me about your New album? Are you happy that its finally done?

new album?? we made a little tour ep..but it's pretty much just demos of songs we're working on for a real release, which seems to be further and further away.

What does 2009 mean for the band?

good things I hope...and maybe a new album. probably a little west coast tour sometime this summer and in late fall we're going to Europe to tour as a band for the first time.

Any last words?

BYE!!!
