LittleBook: Why did you start a band??
The Sweet Revenge: To rock the tits off of young girls around the world (is that too much?)
LB: How did you find each other??
TSR: We all worked as testers for Sony in Foster City CA.
LB: What's your most memorable moment as a band??
TSR: Doing a full northwest tour, driving back from Portland OR with little to no sleep, taking a shower after 3 days, and then playing a homecoming show at Slims to a crowd of 250+
LB: Where do you practice? What do you drink at practice? What do you do at practice when you’re not practicing?
TSR: We practice at RHL in South San Francisco, CA. We drink "life juice" also known as beer. Shoot off fireworks, piss in the bushes, throw beer bottles, band business, beer drinking contests.
LB: What's does being a punk band mean in 2009?
TSR: We wouldn't know. We're probably the least punk rock punk band around ;)
To us it means everything DIY and having a close tight knit group of friends who all look out for each other.
LB: What's the best / worst thing about being a band in San Francisco?? TSR: The scene in SF is full of elitists pricks. There actually is no scene. Unless you're a electro pop band, then you can be on the radio.
LB: What do you want people to know about your band, what are you doing next??
TSR: Hmm...we're as real as it gets. 4 nerds who came together and wrote what they thought punk rock should sound like. We're different. We've recorded a full length and will be pushing that with touring and all sorts of shit.
LB: What’s up with your CD where can I get it, where did you record it??
TSR: We have an EP called "Sleeping Cities" recorded at House of Faith and mixed by Aex Newport. You can get that here:

Our full length "Creatures Of Routine" will be out in Jan. 2010 and was recorded at Compound Recordings with Joe Clements (ex-Fury-66) and mixed by Alex Newport.
LB: Favorite local Band or a memorable show??
TSR: Favorite local band = Air Show Disaster. memorable show = Success Fest 09 in Seattle WA any show we've played at Bottom of the Hill and Slims
LB: Favorite venue to Play??
TSR: Slims hands down. But that's a rarity. So Thee Parkside, Annie's Social Club
LB: Have you played at Kimo's before? What do you like about it?
TSR: We have. It's been awhile but we love the small basement feel of the venue.
LB: Do any of the members ever take their shirts off at a show or at practice??
TSR: Uh, yes?
LB: Who's the smelliest member after a sweaty gig??
TSR: JAMES
LB: Favorite pre / post show; food, indulgence or ritual??
TSR: hmm...no actual rituals. We're boring. We wake up, pack up, eat garbage, and play.
LB: Where do you think live music is heading??
TSR: Who knows. With all the ABC ordinances going around in SF hopefully not to the shitter.
LB: How do you feel about people downloading your songs for free , do you offer free downloads??
TSR: Right now, downloading our music for free is awesome. We will be offering our full length for free before the end of the year. We will be releasing it digitally and then a full physical release in Jan. In late march/april we will be releasing a limited run of it on vinyl.
