Interview with Push To Talk - Podcast 11

All right, well, thanks for tuning in to Sound Scene Revolution. I hope you guys all had a happy holiday and a great new year and didn't get too drunk or have sex with anything you weren't supposed to. To start off the new year, we have decided that from now on I'll do the talking. Nerman, who did the best of show, he's no longer allowed to get a mic. No, I really appreciate him doing that because I'm lazy. So go check out our best of show. It's number 10, I think. This should be number 11. And so this week we bring you guys a very special interview with an Oakland-based band called Push to Talk made up of former members of the band Ghost, Short Round, Spishak, made up of a bunch of former bands. So they got a release coming out on Doghouse in, I believe, April.

So you guys want to check that out. But we had a chance to sit down and talk with them before their big nationwide tour in their van. It was about 20 of us crammed into this van, so it was kind of gross. But before we get into the interview, we got a song off their upcoming self-titled album

♪ song played ♪

Today we are sitting, like 20 of us crammed in the back of a van with a push to talk. So if you guys can just say hi real quick. Hey! How are you all? Alright, so if you guys can just introduce yourselves so we can differentiate your name, what you do in the band, and your favorite color. I'm James. I play guitar and I sing. And my favorite color is darker shades of green. My name is Brett. I play keyboards and sing, and my favorite color is black. What color? I'm Nate. Yeah. My favorite color is a whiter shade of white. He plays bass. Yeah. Oh yeah, I play the bass. My name is Arjun. I play drums, and I like aqua. Ooh. The color. The bass. My name is Peter. I play guitar, and I hate colors. Color? Like all color? No, they are.

Push to talk. Alright. That doesn't come off. We're going to just play that. That's going to be the racist clip of you guys. That's going to be the sound bite that exposes you. I don't know how many colors. For 15 minutes. Alright, so real quick, I mean, Chase, for those who don't know, if you can tell us the brief history of you guys, how you got started, and all of that. I'll put the other mic back there, so you can both, double people can talk. Okay. That is good. Goblin. Goblin is in a band for a long time, called Short Round. Nate and I. Yeah, me and James, or James and I, played in a band called Short Round for a very long time, and we got our tour kicks in that band. Yeah, we toured and blew up, and did all sorts of fun things, and then James, I guess.

I always wrote songs throughout all this time. He's a prolific songwriter. And then I wrote a bunch of songs, and I recorded them by myself and my friend Aaron, and then I was like slanging my CD. Dude, this is so boring, my grandma does. I was slanging the CD, and I gave it to Nate, and I gave it to everybody I knew, and I was trying to get a lineup going on to play out, and then I was doing acoustic shows and shit, and then Nate joined on, on the bass guitar, and then we got some guy named Mark, who's a really gentle, kind man. And he was in a band called Flipsides, that were on some fat records thing. Yeah, he's a drummer. But he played drums first for a while, kind of didn't work out with him, and we got this guy Adam, and then Adam we kind of fired before we started the new recording for our record.

But then, you know, prior to Adam, prior to Adam, I picked up Peter Sullivan over here, guitar, musician, virtuoso. We go way back. Way back. We used to drink. He used to get me drunk when I was a child. 14, 13. And then I was 18. And then I got this fucker, Brett. Nate called me one night when I was intoxicated and asked me if I still remembered how to play piano, and I lied and said yes, and the rest is magical history. And we have three bass players in our band. Yep. And four, if you include me, because I'm not really a bass player, but I'd be glad. We have a singer, a drummer that sings and plays guitar, a bass player that plays guitar, a bass player that plays keys, and a guitar player that plays bass, named Nate.

And a drummer that loves Star Wars. And plays piano. And Pez. And Pez. And zombies. And musical genius. Yeah. Even though he doesn't think he is. For some reason. It really is. We're quite a multi-instrumentalist band. But it's not really about the instruments. It's about the songs.

This is Arjun, the drummer. They didn't actually explain how I came to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was born in India. And when I was one, I came over. And my biological father is kind of a dick, so my mom left him. And we came over here. When did this become his biography? Well, I'm telling you about my history in the band. So we came over here, and we moved into this pretty crappy place. And okay. All right. Basically, a friend of mine in Audrey Sessions recommended I try out for these guys. And I did. And then they said, can we bone you? And I said, how much would you pay me? And then they said, nothing. And I'm like, okay. You're down to get in a van and go around the country nonstop and smell like ass. I was like, okay.

He was down.

I don't need both mics. I don't need both hands for this. You guys edit this, right? No. Not at all, actually. We actually take my voice out, and we superimpose Morgan Freeman over the top. So it's going to sound really good. Don't worry. You guys are going to sound awesome. Could I make a request for Lawrence Fishburne? You can make whatever you want. It's not going to happen. We got Morgan Freeman on contract after March of the Penguins. It's a long story. What about Ricky Henderson? Why would you want Ricky Henderson to... I met him today. I met him on the street. All right, so... 500, 500. You gave him a flyer, right? Yeah, I did. Okay. All right, so anyhow... Get on with it! Push the talk once Ricky Henderson at the show.

We'll go with that. But, um, so what has been the... You guys are just recently... You guys are going to put an album out coming up next, what? How many months? April 26th. April 26th. The record drops. That's with quotation marks. The record drops? Drops. Yeah, it drops out of fucking existence and recognition. Oh, no. Oh! Oh, I'm just messing. So... So, uh, how did that come about? You guys are on Doghouse, is that right? Uh, yeah. I'm just going to ask you guys, like, how did this come about questions for the rest of the night, so... When I started, uh, I started working with a manager out of the area, and we... Sold out, got a manager, I see. Yeah, well, I'd been down the, uh, DIY route, uh, more than a couple times, and, uh, for those of you who don't know what DIY means, it means do it yourself.

Bitches. Uh, but I'm sick of that shit, so I got a manager, and, uh, he and I shopped the record to a ton of labels, and, uh... Oh, fucker.

Brett just broke... Brett just broke a camera. Um, we got, uh, we got, uh, some interest from some labels, but Doghouse seemed the most eager about it, and we kind of called out for a while, and then decided that we wanted to do something with them, because we did all of us into some records that we liked on that label at one point or another. Whether it be, uh... Hot Water. Game Face. Uh, Hot Water Music. The Get Up Kids. Get Up Kids. Or our favorite, the All-American Rejects. The Husking Bee. Uh, the Husking Bee. Uh, a ton of great bands. Well, a handful of good bands amongst a lot of other... Feeble Wiener. Never mind. Um, but yeah, it seemed like a good, good vibe, and so we, uh, went ahead and did a deal with them, and went to New York and made a record.

With Tim O'Hare. With Tim O'Hare. Very nice. Super drag, All-American Rejects, whatever. Any stories about going to record with Tim O'Hare? Or was it all pretty, wake up nine to five, record, go home, beat off compulsively? No, it was wake up at two o'clock in the afternoon, or... Or no, depending on... Yeah, we kind of were homeless when we were in New York, because we thought we had a lot more places to stay than we actually did. We were homeless. Um, St. Patrick's Day, remember that, Peter? Or no, uh, not the 4th of July. Yeah. We just wandered around? Yeah, we just wandered around all night, drunken, until, um, the sun came up and I asked a news reporter some stupid question, because she was doing something about the Olympics.

It's like, it's 5.30, 5.30 or 6 in the morning. And he started flirting with, uh... I started flirting with a hot, uh, Telemundo, uh... News reporter. Uh, reporter. She was pretty hot. She was not into it at all. Yeah, she, she was like, I have a cold, I won't shake your head. No joke, no joke. And, uh, obviously a dirty... My, my girlfriend was out visiting me, and her parents were nice enough to get me and her in a hotel room for a couple nights, which was nice, because I spent a night on the subway, which was interesting. Uh, and, uh, um, then Peter and James, uh, six-ish in the morning, uh, needed a place to stay, so they came and slept in our, uh, our den of inequity on the floor at the, uh, foot of our bed, and...

And woke up promptly at 7.30 or something in the morning, and walked through, uh, Wall Street with all of our luggage. In the rain. In the rain. In the rain for about six hours. In the humid rain at that. But that's just one of the stories. One of many. One of many. I almost sat on a dirty hypodermic needle in Central Park while picnicking. Yeah, it was, it was, uh, breathtaking. And it was, like, two days after my health insurance had just stopped, which was really awesome. I almost got hit by a truck. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I remember that. And I met Ricky Henderson. Uh, we saw Mira Cervani, or whatever. Cervino? He has a really big forehead, and we saw the stripes. Did you just say she has a really big forehead? She does.

She's a huge forehead. She's a giant. They really, really... They tone it down on film, you know? They superimpose a smaller forehead. There's actually, when they're digitally editing the whole thing, there's actually a lever where they just tone down the forehead. Yeah. It's like the pitch and everything. It's like a Gaussian blur, except forehead shrinker.

It's actually a fireworks filter. It's a flash filter that's filtered. So, New York sounds a lot like the movie The Warriors. That's all I'm gonna go with. Yeah. Kind of like The Warriors. We were trying to get to Coney Island. It was really hard. I think that... We couldn't get there. We never got... Mike wouldn't fucking take Brett to Coney Island. No, it was my childhood dream. And I called him, and I still, every once in a while, when I get intoxicated, I will call him and complain about how my childhood dream was to go to Coney Island, and he never took us. You're not dead yet. You can still go. No. No, it's done. No more. There's never... Shoot the Freak. Oh, yeah. The best part of Coney Island, I actually did get to go, eventually.

I lied. Mind you, I found my own way there. You fucking lied. The best part is the booth called Shoot the Freak, which is essentially this dude who fucking runs around in, like, a bunch of foliage while people line up and shoot him with paintball guns, and there's another guy, the announcer, very typical Kearney announcer, who's like, hey, hey, come on. What are you, what are you, you Frank? Come on, shoot the freak. What's the matter? Huh? Hey, you shoot him, he don't shoot you. Shoot the freak. That sounds like... That guy's got to have really good mental insurance. Oh, yeah, we did meet Redman. When we were mixing our record, he came out of the mixing studio next door to us. And we said, what's up, James?

We just, we weren't, like, starstruck or anything. We just were like, hey, man, how's it going? And he totally gave us the dirty look. So he's not going to be on your album, then? No. But we thanked him, I think. We thanked him on the record. You thanked Redman? Yeah, it was actually a Redman joint. He co-produced the record. By merely being in the vicinity, he helped co-produce it. Well, just his aura, if you want to know. Yeah, indeed. The, uh, I can't even... Rick City, baby. Yeah, Rick City. For real. Is Ricky Henderson thanked on your album? No. No, because it was post- Oh, see. We got some projects coming up, though, in the future. Where you will thank Ricky Henderson. Yes. We'll be talking about himself as a third person.

We'll be remixing our own songs over him, talking. About himself? Yeah, about himself. I mean, nothing but Ricky Henderson. It's alright. Greatest lead-off hitter of all time. How many stolen bases? I think 500, 500. You're gonna say that like Ricky Henderson's ever gonna hear this. You could quit kissing his ass. Oh, he's my favorite racial player of all time. I've been for like 15 years. Yeah. Alright, so moving on to stuff people might care about. You guys have got a tour coming up, right? Yeah. Yes, we do. Alright, can we talk? Where are you guys going on that? Uh, it's currently being in the process of, uh, finagled. You have like, you have one date on each coast, don't you? And you're just gonna try and fill it in as you go.

We're filling it in right now, so if, if you wanna, if you want us to play your town, hit us up. Uh, we're pretty much gonna go, uh, to the southwest, the east coast, the midwest, and then we're gonna play south by southwest with, uh, all the doghouse folks. Oh, who's gonna, so during the doghouse showcase? Yeah, with, uh, a brand new band they just signed called Megandia, their opening. Also, Army. Yeah, Army of Me. Yeah, they're from Utah. Are they Mormon? I don't know. I think it's a prerequisite. You have to be Mormon to be in Utah. No, no, no, I think they are from Vegas. Uh, Megandia, uh, Army of Me, who's a fantastic band from D.C. that we saw last year when we were in there. Um, us, uh, yeah, Limbic Band, who are really fucking awesome guys.

Cruiserweight. And Cruiserweight, who are also from Austin, who are really nice guys and a nice girl. And who are also, strangely enough, brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters. Really? Yeah, and there's only one dude who's not in the family, and I think they whip him. Periodically. They beat him for not being family. What, some two of us are brothers? Uh, actually, all of us are brothers except for Peter. Aww. Brothers. No, brothers. Brothers.

Right. So, we'll post the shit about your guys' tour and all, how fantastic we want people to get you to play, because... We're going to be a festival in that little, Little Rock, Arkansas? Yeah. Valley of the Vapors. Valley of the Vapors festival in Arkansas. With, uh, the ex-ghost Hanalee Brian Moss of Wonder Years fame, which Peter was involved with a long time ago. What? Yeah. Hanalee. Someone explain that to me. I just heard Wonder Years and someone's involved. We were in a band called the Wonder Years with a friend Brian, and, um, they're from here. And they turned into the ghost. And they became, later, broke up and became a band called the Ghost, and then they were based out of Chicago, and then now Brian has a new band called Hanalee, and we're doing some things with him on the, uh, Midwest area.

They're actually pretty good. They, what's their album model? What's the label? Thick. Thick records? Huh? I think that's Billy Spunk. Billy Spunk from the Blue Meanies. I like the fact that you guys all kind of said that in sync. It was a little, a little weird. He's got a great name.

Everyone was kind of stoked. I mean, if you have to have your last name be, like, some sort of fluid, I think Spunk would be the best. Spunk's is... Everyone walking by thinks he's giant overtees going on in the van. We're fogging it up in the van. No one says it can't be. That's all I'm for. Yeah, Arjun's written hot sex on the side of the van in steam. It's already fogged up. It's already fogging up. Anyhow. So, is there a moment that you guys, what's your favorite moment touring or playing live or anything, like, that's probably been the best thing for being a part of this band? Can I talk about the, uh, the Austin pornography in the van thing? Waking up. Oh, I don't know if you should talk about that, because that's...

Yeah, never mind. That's not, that's not really us. I can't fucking believe you just started something with pornography in the van and now I don't get to hear it. Well, it's not like we made any. Uh, I drove all the way across, uh, Texas from Austin to, uh, El Paso with the aid of Yellow Jackets, which any touring band pretty much knows about. They are trucker speed and they're perfectly legal. Mm, mm. But, yeah, in certain states, because they have wonderful ephedra in them, but definitely after 14 hours of straight driving, get a little weird. And, uh, it was, like, starting to get dark. We had a little, like, a VCR. We were getting bored. And so everyone put on porn, which was one of Nate's porn. Not everyone, me, I put it on.

I put it on for the enjoyment of all. It's called Leave It to Boobs or something? Leave It to Cleavage. Leave It to Cleavage. Yeah, it's a take on the, on the, on the Leave It to Beaver series. Thanks for clarifying. Which, if you didn't know, it was, like, Jerry Mathers. I don't know, who else is in that? Wally? I don't know. So, I, I think I almost killed us by, I was really. Brett kept turning around and trying to watch. I was trying to watch porn, because when porn's going on, who is not gonna stop? You should watch it.

I think I was kind of, you know, staring backwards. Probably ran us off the road a few times. And this is in our old band, America. R.I.P. America. Best in pieces, bitch.

So, were you, like, actually beating off while you were doing this? Because that'd be really weird. No, no, no. We didn't get to that point. That's where we can't talk about. But it doesn't involve any member of the band beating off. It's just weirdness. That's all I can do. Just you. Awkward. Yeah. We're not gonna go any farther. I basically woke up and pretended I went back to sleep because I was fucking disturbed. That's it. Alright, we'll, we'll let that go. Or is there a moment, other, that you can talk about that doesn't involve porn or beating off? Well, there was that moment I stepped on the stage in, uh, Austin, Texas. And then you fell off into the equipment. Yeah, yeah. And broke your guitar. On the back of the fucking head.

Yeah. Uh, I don't know. I don't think we've had to, like, Carson Daly. Too many insane moments. We got to meet Carson Daly when we were in Austin, Texas. John Popper from Blue Travelers. John Popper was there. James Yeehaw from Smashing Poppins. Yeah, that was pretty surreal. And of course, none of them gave us the motherfucking time to day. Of course. So you guys were, you guys were, like, playing to the fucking Beatless Celebrity Club. They weren't at our show. Yeah, actually, Corey Feldman was at our show, along with, uh, Lorenzo Llamas. You would have, you'd be more like Corey Hart. Also, the Indian guy from Renegade, he was there, too. Who was that? The Indian guy from Renegade. He was clearly there. Yeah, he actually drove his Winnebago there.

That guy's played every nationality known to man. Yeah, he's referring to American, by the way. I think he's Asian, actually. I think that guy was on DS9, actually. I think he was actually Hawaiian, and he just plays any ethnic part they can squeeze him into. Anything that'll fucking pay his bills the next day. Alright. Is there, since we don't want to take all of your guys' time, and none of our questions seem to actually go anywhere, is there a song off the upcoming record, or one that you guys have recorded that's probably your favorite, or that, you know, means the most to you, or you just think you didn't fuck up the most on? Oh, they're all good. Oh, they're all good. I'd say it'd probably be, in my opinion, there's a couple songs.

Probably the first one is the song Problems, which is on our MySpace account. Problems. Problems. Is that featured? Problems. It'll be on our upcoming EP. Yeah, it'll be on our EP they're putting out, and it's going to be on the album, and it's probably going to be a single, maybe, if people like it. But, um, then there's a song called Give Up, which came out really well, and then there's a song called How Do You Get To Be That Way, I really like. But, uh, yeah, I don't know. We'll be playing them all, so come see a show. I like, we've heard all those dance songs more. Because that's the ones that the 15-year-old girls get moving to? No, but it's got a good beat, you know, you can snap, you can tap your feet to it, you know?

You can shake a hip. Whatever moves you. Thanks for that one, Dad. It's pretty snappy. You could also cross your arms and nod your head. It's a beat, you know? That's what people do now. Changes in, you know? Do you watch me for the changes? Supposedly, supposedly, I heard that, um, people like to have sex to our record. We're not going to name any names. I heard it from three different parties, and that's pretty... Reliable sources? Yes, and that's creepy. But. So if you like to fuck. So if you like to phone. There was a hesitation on that one. That's a... Maybe someday we'll get Bon Jovi status when people will be like, oh man, I was totally born to Wanted, Dead or Alive. Oh, my parents love that song. And at that point, you can officially kill yourself.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure. But that's alright. Alright, is there a song you wish you didn't record? Um... I think we just didn't record it. A song that we're now landing. That you didn't record it? No, a song that we wish we recorded but didn't. No, a song that you was really bad. Oh. A song we should... No. We just... No one, like any bands, ever going to say yes. Yeah, there was a song that we started to record and got like halfway through the drums, and then it was like, nah, fuck this, never mind. We're not going to do it. That's right, hisy fit. Yeah, dude was like, I can't do it. I'm not going to play drums. I hate the lyrics. No. Nope. And so we didn't do it. And that was it. Yeah, that's what we do. And, uh... When we hate songs, we don't play them.

And cause $30,000 worth of damage. It actually looked like, uh, if you've seen Walk the Line, the scene where he rips the sink off the wall, James. Yeah, it was James. Yeah, and I broke a leg off of the bass drum, and I stabbed Nate in the face with it. And I have a huge scar. I can see that. I wasn't going to say anything. I was going to be really quiet about that. And I had shit down his fucking throat. Drink four kegs of beer, start a roundhouse. And followed it with... Point made, bitches. I think you see where I'm coming from. We're not recording the song. Live it. All right. Nice. We're not... All right, we're going to get, uh, cutting into here, but we're going to ask one question. We haven't asked it for a little while, cause everyone else has been really old.

So we're going to ask you guys, cause you're young and hip. Immature. Yeah. I was asked this by a guy a long time ago, and I tend to ask it of other people. If the Smurfs fought the Ninja Turtles, who would win? Oh, I'm kidding me. Fucking Ninja Turtles. Well, Ninja Turtles, because, I mean... What the hell? But there's... Turtle generation. But there's like 4,000 Smurfs. Yeah, but the Ninja Turtles have training. I don't think the Smurfs really have anything going for them except those hats. Gargamel comes down and they're fucking out. Yeah. They never try to beat Gargamel, they just try to avoid Gargamel. Yeah. Or they build some sort of contraption, you know? Those are ninjas. They're going to find them. And they eat pizza.

You know? They can see in the dark. Did you just say they eat pizza? That's the reason. They clearly eat pizza. The literary reference I'm going to use with this is the only reason the Lilifutians got Gulliver was because Gulliver did not have the training in the martial arts that the Ninja Turtles did. And also, there's like five... Is that a literary quote? Also? Gulliver's Travels, maybe you've heard of it. No, I thought you were referring to someone else who said that. No. No. Wait. Are the Smurfs like a takeoff of Gulliver's Travels? Perhaps. No. I mean, it could be some weird twisted way. But they're blue. I don't know. All I saw was the Ted Danson version on TV a couple years ago. Wow. A couple years ago. That's sad.

They're so much better. Huh? They're underwater. Yeah. They have fucking snorkels on their head. That did nothing. If you breathe underwater, why do you need a snorkel? Snork snorkel? Uh, because it looks cooler. All right. $20 follow-up. Ninja Turtles versus the Thundercats. Oh, man. I feel like there were a lot of Thundercats, weren't there? Did the Thundercats have swords too? There were about five. But there was like two planes, weren't there? I feel like the Thundercats were much more cosmic than the Ninja Turtles. Yeah. Therefore, they may have a little more power over the Ninja Turtles. The Thundercats were pretty savage. They were pretty magical. I'm pretty sure a bo staff will not do shit when you shoot your giant laser beam out of your airplane at your head.

Yeah, there's way more. Yeah. Across a Ninja Turtle head. Those guys aren't that big. Shit, they're fucking turtles. No, actually. Cats versus turtles. I mean, if you think about it. Way better than Alien versus Predator. Yeah, or Savage Dragon versus Ninja Turtles. Duh. Ninja Turtles. Yeah. I was really ready for the Vanilla Ice versus Ninja Turtles, a la Ninja Turtles movie, but it never happened. Okay, so wait. What if... Ninja Turtles Robocop. All they call it was Go Ninja Go. That was it. What if the Ninja Turtles had Casey Jones and Splinter? Casey Jones was a match for the Turtles. That's true. He totally took them out. Yeah, I was just thinking of that. Casey Jones. He's the hockey stick. Casey Jones and Splinter versus Thundercats?

Versus Thundercats. Ooh. I still think a hockey stick is not going to do shit on a fucking laser. He was sad as fuck. He was raised in the streets. I don't care. Where is this battle at? Are we taking this place to the mountains? Or are we doing this in the city streets? Because I don't know how the Thundercats are going to, you know, acclimate to, like, to the New York City streets? I don't know. Especially underground. And I don't know if they can deal with the social responsibility of killing thousands of innocent people just to get a couple Ninja Turtles. While wearing tights and Speedos, basically. Seriously, really quick about Ninja Turtles. What's the deal with them putting on a fucking Dick Tracy overcoat and a hat and no one knows you're a fucking turtle?

And it's a big green guy with a turtleneck on. Holy shit, it is a hunchback. Wow, there's four of them. Weird. There's a big, fucked up guy with a long nose and held hair. Hmm. Weird. Come on, though. You can see that here and you probably, honestly, you just don't look at people in this city. You just avoid eye contact and look ahead. Unless they're slapping you. If you're green wearing an overcoat and a hat and you have a fucking hell of, like, a Lone Ranger headband on, I'm going to look at you. I wouldn't. I'd fucking run the other way. Yeah. If he's inside run, I won't lie. He'd fuck some shit up. Yeah. All right. Well, I want to thank you guys for taking the time. That was the most in-depth answer I think you gave to anything.

Yeah, I know pizza intake is way better than the turtles. Pizza intake is way up. All right. So, you guys got anything you want to plug? Shows? Website? Bottom of the Hill. The Boticcelli's in the Street of Nowhere. Dave? Say something for the ladies. Bye. That was Dave. He's in the back of the van. Nowhere is hiding in the back of our van right now. We're going to try and get them for an interview later if I could fucking wrangle them and tie them down long enough. Wrangle. Wrangle. We just like to say wrangle around here. All you have to do to get Dave is milk the cross date. Enough said. All right. And when's your guy's album supposed to drop? April 26th. April 26th. Doghouse Records. Has it got a title or is it self-titled?

Self-titled. It has a fucking frog on the front of it. Yeah! You didn't want to go for any of that cheesy title shit, then? Yeah. No. It's too hard to figure it out. Titles are for posers. Because everyone's just going to call it your first record anyway. Yeah. That's a good point. All right. First record's supposed to self-title? Maybe we should just call it our first record. There you go. It's too late now. The first record that you like way better than anything else we're going to put out. Everything else will be compared and measured to this record. And there you go. All right. Well, I want to thank you guys so much for taking the time. And yeah. Thank you. Say goodbye. Bye. Thank you, guys. All right. So thanks for tuning in.

That was the interview. Again, Push to Talk. Be sure to check them out if you get the chance. They're going to be doing a nationwide tour. So they'll probably be coming to your town. They're probably going to need a bed. They're probably going to need some food. And probably a shower because they fucking smell, dude. Like 30 minutes in that van was 30 minutes too long. All right. Also, as you may have noticed, we sound a little bit better. A little bit crisper. A little better detail. You can tell I may be a little more of a child molester than you knew before. And that's because this week we're using Shure SM86 microphones, which we purchased from the Starving Musician in Santa Clara. Really good store. You might want to check it out if you guys ever need guitars or plugs, amps, cords, mics, all of that.

They didn't pay us to say any of this. I just really support that store. I think it's a good place to go. And it's probably a lot fucking better than Retard Center or Gelb or someone at Gelb is listening right now. And they're so pissed at me. Anyhow, if you guys are a band or if you guys just want to send us a comment, drop us a line, you can send us an email at SoundSceneRevolution at gmail.com or on MySpace under SoundSceneRevolution. We're labeled as a band. Join our group list. Become our friend. We'll be sure to send you guys updates on the podcast, who we got coming up. We may even send you some cool things like what cookie we would be if we were a cookie or what character and friends we would be.

It'll be totally awesome. And then, like, you'll know everything about us. It'll bring us that much closer. Or if you want to avoid all that crap, you could just post on our message board, which is cool. And maybe we'll just send you a little email about what our favorite color is anyway, just because we really like you. So, thanks for tuning in. We, again, every Tuesday we update, so check it out. And we're going to take you out with a track called Problems off of Push to Talk's upcoming release on Doghouse Records. Enjoy. Bitches.
