“We know that South by Southwest doesnt care about us. That festival is not about hometown heroes. Its about bands from everywhere else but Austin, for the most part. The last couple of years were not even close to Austin when South by Southwest starts.”

“Thats all right with us. Were trying to make a name for ourselves on the road. Were doing it, slowly but surely.”

“There are ups and downs being an Austin band. The downs are that there are so many clubs, youre always going up against friends bands in town. Its not always easy getting people to come out to your shows. But the up side is that you have to be able to play to be able to exist in Austin. There are so many good bands there. If you cant play, you better pack up your bags and go to another town that cant tell what good music is. We play quite a bit back home and weve earned it.”

“Were going to do three or four new ones. The rest will be older stuff. Were excited about the new disc. Those who know us will realize that we havent changed much. Were going to be going on tour with U.S. Bombs. Thats going to be great for us. Well get some exposure. In the meantime, were playing as hard as we can on this tour.”
