LittleBook: Why did you start a band??
The Devil's Own: The band came about because some band needed to play all of these goddamn songs I keep writing and it's an excellent scheme to get a few free beers from the local clubs.
LB: How did you find each other??
TDO: At this point, we've all known each other for a long time. I snaked Gentleman Smith from Jeffrey Luck Lucas' band, sort of. And I hand-picked the others based on exactly what I want and who I want in this band.
LB:What's your most memorable moment as a band??
TDO: Playing the Heavy Metal Shop in Salt Lake City for its 21st anniversary with Michael Dean Damron and Thee Loyal Bastards and Kleveland. Kevin Kirk fucking rules!
LB:Favorite pre / post show; food, indulgence or ritual??
TDO: We're all keen on getting revved up on copious amounts of alcohol before and after our shows. I, Piss, am very partial to being super-stoned just before playing and then it depends on what's being offered.
LB:What do you drink at practice??
TDO:Lots of beer and lots of beer.
LB:What’s the hardest thing about being a Bay Area Band??
TDO:There are so fucking many Bay Area bands that the market is over-saturated. Other than that, it's about as easy as being a band from anywhere else.
LB:What do you want people to know about your band, what are you doing next??
TDO: We're currently breaking in a new bassist. As soon as he's cool, we'll begin recording a new full-length, playing out more and touring regionally. As for what we want people to know, a quote from the rock documentary, Bad News: "The lyrics! You gotta listen to the lyrics!"
LB:What's up with your CD where can I get it, where did you record it??
TDO: We recorded our first CD up in Portland, Oregon with former I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch guitarist, Handsome Jon Burbank at his It's Cold, It Stinks and I Don't Like the Way It Sounds studio. It's available through us at our shows and through CDBaby. com
LB:Favorite San Francisco Band or a memorable show??
TDO: By far, the most memorable show is when we played with I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In the House in Las Vegas over Viva Las Vegas weekend. Bridget the Midget, Aerosmith's accountant, eye-crimping amounts of alcohol, a marriage proposal and a line that went out the door and around the corner until 4am.
LB:Favorite venue to Play??
TDO: Bottomofthehilltheeparksidehotelutah.
LB:Do any of the members ever take their shirts off at a show or at practice??
TDO: Not yet, but we're working on it.
LB:Who's the smelliest member after a sweaty gig??
TDO: Mark (the lead guitarist) probably takes the sweat-cake on this. Maybe because he's the only one in the band who hasn't had his sweat glands surgically removed yet.
LB: Where do you think live music is heading??
TDO: Hopefully in front of a livelier crowd, for starters.
