LittleBook: Why did you start a band??
Tinkture: Tinkture was what we called our combined musical endeavor, which was never premeditated or discussed. It just snowballed.

LB: How did you find each other??
T: We were all friends first, we paired up with instruments pretty much arbitrarily.

LB: What's your most memorable moment as a band??
T: Probably something embarrassing. When we were 16 The Eagle almost didn't let us play because we were underaged, but then a bunch of people showed up and they didn't want to refund anyone's money. It ended up being really fun, and in the end they were really nice about it.

LB: Favorite pre / post show; food, indulgence or ritual??
T:
Honestly: putting on makeup in the bathrooms.

LB: What do you drink at practice??
T:
Tea

LB: What’s the hardest thing about being an all girl Band in the Bay Area??
T:
Being asked about being an all girl band.

LB: What do you want people to know about your band, what are you doing next??
T: We are recording a Full Length Debut Album in January, it's being produced by Michael Belfer (Tuxedomoon, The Sleepers, Flipper, Indian Jewelry, Crystal Antlers)

LB: What's up with your CD where can I get it, where did you record it??
T: We're recording at Mama Jo's in Hollywood, at the moment we're available on iTunes, and all the iTunes-esque devices. Our Album will be available everywhere, though.

LB: Favorite San Francisco Band or a memorable show??
T:
I think collectively our favorite SF band is the Abi Yoyo's.

LB: Favorite venue to Play??
T:
Slims. Bottom of the Hill is a close second, and The Hotel Utah will always have a special place in our heart.

LB: Do any of the members ever take their shirts off at a show or at practice??
T:
No, we have breasts, and that'd be distracting.

LB: Who's the smelliest member after a sweaty gig??
T:
We always smell like roses and cookies and grapefruit... Respectively.

LB: Where do you think live music is heading??
T:
I think live music is eternal, it's recorded music who's face is changing.

LB: How do you feel about people downloading your songs for free , do you offer free downloads??
T:
We can't wait for people to start downloading and torrenting our songs. At the moment it can't be gotten on LimeWire. We checked
