We recorded our record at The Atomic Garden studios. Recorded by Jack Shirley.
LB: Was there a local show you remember that inspired you to start a band??
SV: Yea, Andy and I went to see Magic Moments at el Rincon. Scott was about to move into town. So I asked Andy if he wanted to start jammin, and we just went from there. I knew it was time to star something special. Something new that no one in S.F can do or sound like.
LB: Favorite venue to Play??
SV: Annies, Thee Parkside, The Knockout
LB: Have you played Annie's Social Club before? What do you like about it?

LB: Who's the smelliest member after a sweaty gig??
SV: Andy's the sweatiest and Scott is a close second.
LB: Favorite pre / post show; food, indulgence or ritual??
SV: Try not to get too mangaled thats it and try not to get too mangaled after so we can make it home.
LB: Where do you think live music is heading??
SV: The toilet. No one cares any more. Why go to a gig when you can watch it on youtube, right????
Live music is so rad!!! I wish more people would get it, ya know....
LB: Do you have any plans to tour?
SV: Yea! we are doing a mini tour of the East coast in December with Natur.
LB: How do you feel about people downloading your songs for free, do you offer free downloads??
SV: I don't care really. The more people that listen to our songs the better! But on the other hand. We are paying for our recording and pressing out of pocket. So it would be nice to see some sort or return. Its not like someone else or a label is flipping the bill. There is no time to wait for some suit. DO IT YOURSELF! fuck the B.S. PLAY LOUD, FAST, HARD !!! Never give in. Do it the way you want.
