The one-way service definitely can’t listen and identify a user’s thought patterns, or recommend personalized courses of action, but it can provide a wide series of useful primers to bring into talk therapy later, augment less frequent sessions, or just facilitate some preventative care and curiosity about the mind. Like MasterClass for mental health, the app reduces the barrier to entry to just $14.99 per month. Now, a new Austin-based platform is paving the way for another option.Īlthough it may not replace the need for talk therapy entirely, MindBar, which launched in July, spreads the workload of coaches and therapists across many clients, keeps things online, and ultimately sets users up at their own pace. Text therapy like BetterHelp costs a lot more and often feels stilted. Group therapy is more affordable, but still a pricey and intimidating commitment. Much easier than finding a therapist is finding laments at the cost and accessibility of mental health care. We were in the studio 24 hours a day until we got the hit, "The Promise." So it all comes down to work, really. You might not think it is going to be a hit record, but keep working on it. She is a soul sort of singer with a stage presence very similar to Prince.ĬM: Do you have any advice for the aspiring musicians out there?ĪM (WIR): You have to keep working at it. MS: My bed, the television and the stage (laughing).ĬM: What are some of your favorite new bands? What's on your iPod?Ĭlive Farrington (WIR): Janelle Monae. Rob Juarez (WIR): And the Tex Mex here – it is insane! Mike Score: Walking away with the money! No, but to me personally, doing shows anywhere as long as it’s a good show, works and you don’t have particular memories unless it’s a historical gig or it’s the biggest gig you’ve ever done.ĬM: Is there anything you're looking forward to seeing or eating?ĪM (WIR): We went downtown and saw all the shops and had brisket and sausage. She was running an independent booking agency and we met at one of my shows. My wife is from Texas and we got married a few years ago. But now that we’re back, we had a bit of a chance today so we’ve had a look around and we love Houston!Ĭhristopher Anton: I live in Houston now. CultureMap caught up with the band members backstage before their concert a couple of weeks ago.ĬultureMap: Welcome to Houston! Have you spent much time here? Any favorite memories?Īndrew Mann (When in Rome): The first time we toured we got on a plane, did a sound check, and didn’t have much of a chance to see it. Score is now balding and a long blond pony tail in back is all that remains of his once signature look. I was bummed because I was looking forward to seeing Score's Flock of Seagulls waterfall coif that is almost as famous as the band itself. The second thing I noticed was, the backcombed big hair of the '80s is long gone. His personality shines through in the music. Score has a great sense of humor, so it is easy to see why Flock of Seagulls’ hits like “I Ran” and “Space Age Love Song” are so fun. Upon meeting with When in Rome (now When in Rome UK with Rob Juarez and original members Clive Farrington and Andrew Mann), Christopher Anton of Information Society (the lead singer from 2006-2008 and from 2009-present) and Mike Score of A Flock of Seagulls, the first thing I noticed was that they are a group of laid back and accessible guys - the type with whom you want to kick up your feet, have a few beers, and shoot the breeze. When I heard When in Rome, A Flock of Seagulls, Information Society, and Animotion were coming to Stereo Live, I reached for my hairspray and black eyeliner and hit the door running.
