Loose Riderz - Feb. 21st @ Benders



Sirens Blair-Guitar & Vox
Teddy Black-Bass & Vox
Jim Greenbeer-Drums
Loose Diaz-Guitar

LittleBook: How did you find each other??
Loose Riderz:
We are all Warfield/Filmore stagehands. We are a Warfield/Filmore stagehand band. The original lineup consisted of Sirens, Teddy Black and Leonard Haze (formerly of Y&T). We love Leonard, but it was hard to get the three of us in the same room at the same time. Jimmy Greenbeer then signed on (he rules) and, later, we added John Diaz as a second guitar player.

LB: Why did you start a band??
LR: Loose Rider
z was meant to be. Plain and simple. It was never a question of why, but how; how much ass can we kick as a band? And we follow through, as the best stagehand band in the nation. Every song we play depicts a different aspect of our job that is unique to either of these two venues. The voices of the hardest working men and women in show business will finally be heard!

LB: What's your most memorable moment as a band??
LR
: Yesterday, because each day we kick more ass than the next.

LB: Favorite pre / post show; food, indulgence or ritual??
LR:
Picking on John.

LB: What do you drink at practice??
LR:
We have the best-stocked fridge in the city. There are always a multitude of different beers to be had.

LB: What's the hardest thing about being a band in the Bay Area??
LR:
When you rule like we do, it’s modesty.

LB: What do you want people to know about your band, what are you doing next??
LR:
We’re playing Benders with the Texas Thieves on Feb. 21. Everything else is up in the air. It’s important to check out LooseRiderz.com and the myspace page.

LB: What's up with your CD where can I get it, where did you record it??
LR:
Our first demo was produced at Rodent Records by Lance Bass of N’SYNC fame. Don’t laugh, he knows what he’s doing. You can purchase a copy on iTunes or order a copy on the website. The full length will be out soon.

LB: Favorite San Francisco Band or a memorable show??
LR:
When the dude from Sugar Ray collaborated with Metallica and Velvet Revolver to butcher (and I mean butcher) a version of “California Uber Alles” by the Dead Kennedys.

LB: Favorite venue to Play??
LR:
We prefer arenas. After all, we were created to be an arena-rock band.

LB: Do any of the members ever take their shirts off at a show or at practice??
LR:
Greenbeer does. Too bad he’s not a chick.

LB: Who's the smelliest member after a sweaty gig??
LR: Teddy Bac
k is, but his BO smells like cotton candy.

LB: Where do you think live music is heading??
LR:
Corporate Christmas parties

LB: How do you feel about people downloading your songs for free , do you offer free downloads??
LR:
MP3’s suck, so download them all you want. Just don’t claim to be a music lover.
