Interview - Laura Lea Taraskus By Maria

Laura Lea Taraskus is the front-girl of a good band called Tripp Fabulous.  This blonde hottie was a sales manager at a hotel before she sang professionally.  This singer also has a degree in Accounting.  Wow!  A woman with brains and beauty and also talent.  Laura Lea sings the National Anthem for the Wings’ home games for 6 seasons now.

 

How does it feel like for a girl to front a band?

Self-conscious.  I don’t look or dress like a typical girl-fronted band.  The tight pants, half-shirt, it’s not me.  I tried to wear it but it’s not me.  I felt like an idiot.  I’d rather have my beer gut and sing the best that I can. 

 

Do you prefer singing solo on-stage?

I prefer singing solo.  I like doing my own thing.  Solo is easier but singing with the band is fun too. 

 

What do you do when y ou are not singing?

Nothing.  Play video games.  I’m just singing everyday.

 

What do you like best about your job?

I don’t have a boss.  I’m my own boss.

 

What do you hate the most about your job?

Playing covers.  I have more to give in the society.  I love singing my own songs.  I am very talented and I want to be my own singer. 

When I play covers, I’m an impressionist.  And I don’t want that. 

Covers make way better money than original. 

 

What turns Laura Lea on?

Self-confidence but not cockiness. And perfect grammar.

 

What turns you off?

Bad grammar.  (laughs)

 

Are you single?

I’m not married.

 

Have you ever stolen any musical stuff?

I’ve never stolen anything in my life.  I’ve never stolen a pack of gum, a pencil from work, or a phrase or anything and nothing has ever been stolen from me. 

 

Ever kissed a girl?

People always ask if I’m Bi.  I can easily fall in-love with a person. 

 

Want to make out?  Just kidding…
