This has been great really. Q: So what have been some of the good dates on this tour? Boston was good, Chi town, Cleveland a couple days ago was fucking great, I know Jersey is going to rule, and Philly was a great show too. Q: So have you had any shit dates on this tour? We try to make the best of whatever, there are no real "shit shows". This tour has all been pretty good, but what's weird is the hottest shows we've had were all in Canada but they'd had some of the best crowds, it all balances out. Q: So your past American tours have been with Ska is Dead, The Know How, other ska bands, but who set up such a diverse line up on this tour? Whole Wheat and Us are booked by Kevin, and I'm not too sure about how Gym Class Heroes got set up on this, but it's awesome to be so diverse and we've really had a good time with all these bands. Q: You were just on Ska Is Dead 2, then in Europe, and now doing another US tour, so what's the plans coming up after this? First off we're taking part of this summer off, then we'll be able to go back and record for the new album finally in 2012. Q: I thought it was coming ou... *Interupting* Everything you know is wrong! (we all have a laugh) Q: On the internet it seems all the ska kids on all the message boards are always talking about a rumor for Keasby Nights 2, what's the deal with that? There are no numbers involved I'll tell you that, maybe Keasby Nights Part Deux. Q: With Charlie Sheen? *laughs* yeah, then we'll do Keasby Nights with a vengeance, then Keasby Nights Begins will be out tomorrow. Q: So you've been going through some line up changes so I think everyone is curious what's up with Jamie, Josh, and Dan? I mean are you still cool with those guys? Oh yeah, Jamie's being a family man with his wife and being a father, and he's working as a teacher too. We really haven't seen Josh since we were in L.A., he lives out there now and he's looking in shape and got all thin. Q: From not being on the road with you guys and drinking every night? Yeah, or he's been working out or something. And we actually saw Jim right before we left on tour, he's about to get married and we still love seeing him around. Q: So another big rumor around on the internet is that you guys and Catch 22 are arch rivals, what's with that? No, we're real cool with each other, Kevin came out and hung out at our Cleveland date of this tour, and on Ska is Dead 2 I think all of them came out to the Jersey show except Ryan was busy or something, but we're all cool with one another. Q: So I'm doing this interview for Ska Is Dead which you know is run by Dave Kirchgessner of Mustard Plug, so do you have any embarrassing stories you'd like to share about him while you have the chance? Actually we've only met that guy like twice. Q: So no good dirt to share to the people? Well he was pretty drunk. Q: Yeah, those guys usually are a little drunk when they're at shows. Well do you have anything you'd like to say to him since he's going to be reading this? Thanks for the Shoes *Points to the Duffs on his feet* these are my playing shoes. Q: That's all you've got for dirt is "Thanks for the Shoes"? Yeah... Thanks for the shoes man. Q: Alright, I'm gonna go drink some more cheap whisky. Let's Do It! Streetlight Manifesto website |
