My first question is now that you're back in Kentucky and playing in Flawd, will you still have time to write an article or two for us?
Well man between the sex, drugs and booze I barely have enough time to play bass. Just kidding. Um...I might write a few...at some point in time or another. I probably won't write any show reviews, now that I'm actually playing shows. I think it would be kinda "holier-than-thou" to review other bands. Interviews, features, profiles…we'll have to see. But you have to understand everything takes a back seat to our band. It has to. That's why we need more writers to get involved. You don't have to be in a band to be involved with the music. If you can write and you love live music, just jump right in and start interviewing bands, going to shows, meeting people, etc. That's what I did.
Who are some your influences?
I don't know if I have any, other than my bandmates. I just play what comes out. I haven't been playing long enough to be all technical yet, although I'm working my ass off trying to get better. I like Flea (of course), and Jason Newstead. I don't think he gets the credit he deserves. Also Hilary from Kon'shens. She is so smooth and fluid in her playing. And I can't forget about Charles from Lowboy…he's a bad sonuvabitch. Other than that, my biggest influences are Bruce and Rob. Both of them are awesome players and songwriters. So I guess I do have a few influences.
Any plans on recording? If so, when and how many songs?
Actually that's something that's being planned out as I type. If all goes as planned, we should be in the studio towards the middle of February depending on the availability of the studio. We're thinking about recording anywhere between three and seven songs, depending on how much money we have to put into it and what kind of deal we can get. We're all some broke bastards though. So if anyone has any money lying around that you don't need, send it our way.
