“Keep it, keep it coming” may be familiar words to some people. Love Arcade, a band with songs full of catchy tunes and awesome lyrics (there’s just no other word to describe them), have a lot going for them. Snowhite, the lead singer of the band, was kind enough to call Meagan for a quick chat. So, what did a hippie aunt have to do with everything?

Meagan Messina: Could you introduce yourself and tell me what your role is in the band?
Snowhite: I’m Snowhite and I sing in the band.

MM: How did you get the name Love Arcade?
S: Love Arcade came from my 65 year old hippie aunt. She gave us a list of names, there were about three pages and Love Arcade was the first name on the first page and we just looked at it and we liked it and that was it.

MM: How did you guys meet?
S: The band?

MM: Yes.
S: Well, me, the bass player, and the keyboard player are all family, so we knew each other for a long time and they were always in a band with me before. The drummer and the guitar player, they were from Florida, and we met them through a friend and they were the first people we tried out and they were perfect for us, so we went with them, and that’s how we met.

MM: For those who haven’t heard your music, how would you describe your sound?
S: I would describe my music as pop music with an alternative edge.

MM: Have you always wanted to pursue a career in music?
S: Yeah, it’s always been different kinds of things, but I definitely wanted to do something to do with music. I really like performing.

MM: What do you do to prepare for a show?
S: Usually I just chill. I don’t do much. I save all my energy for on stage.

MM: Are you guys on tour now?
S: No, we don’t go out till April.

MM: Are you excited for that?
S: Oh, yes, definitely, very excited.

MM: Who are your musical influences?
S: Like, Prince and Madonna, stuff like that.

MM: What’s your philosophy on music?
S: My philosophy on music is that I really like songs and I just think that there’s different music and it’s all art. People can appreciate all kinds of music and think my songs are for everyone, everyone’s life. Everyone makes their own soundtrack and what they listen to. That’s how I feel about it.

MM: What has been the most memorable experience in your career so far?
S: Probably just getting my album out and in stores. It was just exciting to have that happen. To go through the store and see it in the store was very intense.

MM: If you could tour with anyone, who would it be?
S: If I could tour with anyone it would probably be Kanye West.

MM: What is your favorite thing about performing?
S: My favorite thing about performing is the crowd reaction. It’s cool to see them all get into your stuff and everything.

MM: What’s your favorite song to perform?
S: My favorite song to perform is definitely “Party.”

MM: What is your biggest wish for Love Arcade?
S: My biggest wish for Love Arcade is that we could headline our own tour and do well.

MM: Is there anything else you’d like to add or say to your fans?
S: Don’t let anybody tell you what to do, do what you want to do in life. In the end it only matters what you want to do.
