DAILYEVERGREEN.COM MINT FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 2017 | PAGE 8 Mother Yeti: The band that challenges genres Name, age: Zack Degler, 28; Bill Tracy, 27. Songwriters/band members

Tell me a bit about yourselves and the band. Z: “Bill and I started making music together five or six years ago in Boise, and then came up here. But Mother Yeti hasn’t really been its current inception until the past two years.” B: “We started really playing music more seriously when I came up to school at [UI]. Zack moved up here just to play music with us. We were just chilling, going to school, and Zack and I would play music all the time.”

How early did you both start playing music before you started the band? Z: “I would always be running around singing, but I never picked up a guitar until freshmen year of high school when I broke my leg snowboarding, and I had a bunch of time to sit around. My dad always says ‘I’m going to try to break your other leg and sit you down at a piano.’ ” B: “I started in first grade playing violin, and I played for quite a while. I took a lot of lessons, and I went to a couple of camps, my parents were all about it. I think it was in sixth or seventh grade I started playing guitar and drums. My buddy gave me a drum set, and I got a guitar for Christmas, and got really obsessed with that. I just started jamming in garages and stuff like that. Just straight jams, never wrote songs or anything until college.”

How would you describe your music to someone who doesn’t know it at all? Z: “Pretty much anything — we have a wide spectrum of music we enjoy listening to. If you listen to the album, “Gimmick's Valley,” you’ll find kind of a punk song, a country-ish song, a R&B song, a hard rock song, a surf-rock-y kind of song. But it all kind of has a basis in that we like to rock pretty hard.” B: “It revolves around rock 'n' roll — eclectic rock 'n' roll, experimental rock 'n' roll. If we start playing a song that sounds cool, we’re not like, ‘oh, is that the right genre for our band?’ We just run with it.”

What are your favorite parts about making music, and what challenges you? B: “Making music kind of comes naturally to Zack and I. I listen to a lot of music, all day every day. It’s kind of just in my brain constantly. The hardest part is social media-type stuff. The business side of music is always, I think, an artist’s struggle. That’s what we’re try- ing to perfect nowadays, because we’re not under a record label or anything — we’re just an indie band, essentially. It’s difficult getting your name out there.” Z: “I would say for me the most enjoyable thing is getting a good show with a really responsive crowd. Or even just here in the practice room, where people are just vibing and everybody is on the same page. It’s a nice natural high to really nail a song with your homies. Getting a bunch of people really paying attention, dancing and grooving, it’s an amazing feeling.”

Do you have any funny stories from any of your performances? Z: “We played John’s Alley on Halloween, and they had a costume contest there. We all agreed that we would dress up as different types RACHEL SUN | THE DAILY EVERGREEN of ladies, and then our drummer Jim showed up, and he’s just in a Mother Yeti songwriters Bill Tracy, left, and Zack Degler in their apartment and practice studio suit. So Bill and I are up there just like, two chicks.” Saturday in Moscow. The young artist entrepreneur: It's never too early Name, age: Wes Ferguson, 7

What’s this type of work called? “I don’t really know what it’s called, but I thought of it because one time my mom and dad were doing a table, and I asked them if I could sell stuff at the farmer’s market, and I started doing it.

When did you start selling stuff at the farmer’s market? “I think it was seven or five weeks ago — not too long ago.”

What’s your favorite part about making art? “That you can choose any colors and get to pour them on wherever you want. And the cool thing about them is that there’s science — like, they don’t come out how you poured them on, they come out different. Sometimes, they might look cool. If it’s very, very hot out it might take just a few minutes to dry. And sometimes, it might take a night. But it usually should just take a day.”

Do you have any favorite colors you like to use? “No, we usually use different colors every time. Except sometimes we might do the same colors. But not every time.”

I heard your dad say you do this with your mom. “She just totes them, and she uses a hair dryer to spread [the paint] out."

Do you have a favorite piece of artwork right now? “Almost all of them are my favorites, but there’s one of these tie-dye ones, and that was my most favorite one that I ever made. My first one that I made sold the first week I was doing this. I think we’re going to do it next year.” RACHEL SUN | THE DAILY EVERGREEN Seven-year-old Wes Ferguson showing off his handmade paintings made with the help Do you want to be an artist when you grow up? of his mother Saturday at the Moscow Farmers Market. “Yeah, I’ve always been good at doing [art]."
