NR: With a bunch of different bands on the market where does this band differ?
Schwab: Were not on the market.
Red: Nobody likes us.
Chuck: I would have to say everyone brings different influences to what we play. Like I listen to shit that nobody fucking likes.
Blue: We all bring different elements in. We are adding something.
Chuck: It meshes to goodness.
Schwab: Someone's listening to the Haunted right now. Thank you.
NR: How do you guys feel on the venue status out here?
Chuck: Aside from the Time's Inn, love them...
Schwab: I think a venue has to be around at least 5 years to be considered a venue other then that it's just a place to play.
Blue: "Oh we got a new venue guys..."
Chuck: ...Then new management comes.
NR: You guys have opened for some major acts. How do these crowds react to you guys?
Chuck: It's pretty mixed.
Schwab: It's not bad.
Chuck: It's like where you want to rock, but you no one else is doing so it so.
Schwab: The Nonpoint one was kind of weird. The Soulfly/Morbid Angel...
Chuck: That one was good, there was a lot more people there that weren't so nonpoint liking and stuff like that.
Schwab: They weren't so Xtreme radio.
Chuck: Yeah, a lot of people liked us.
Schwa: Morbid Angel kids like us.
Chuck: Maybe it's Sergio's guitar. It attracts people like a magnet.
Red: Maybe it's me and Sergio's tits.
Chuck: It could be?
Schwa: What about the Anthrax show? The Anthrax show was weird.
Chuck: The Anthrax show was fun cause I got to spin but...
Blue: I am going to hate Anthrax for the rest of my life.
Chuck: The only cool person was Scotty and everybody else was kind of jerks.
NR: A bunch of local bands have manger's. Do feel it is the right move for local bands to get mangers?
Chuck: If you're close to getting signed, or getting everything together. As long as the shit's tight, I wouldn't see why not.
Schwab: If you got a friend as a manger they're not your manger, they're your friend.
Chuck: Wow, safe words.
Schwab: It's true.
Chuck: It is. Actually there is no manger for us. We kind of decided together that's the best way to go with that. We kind of have yea or na votes, but we never really get passed making fun of each other.
Schwab: It's not even majority rules. It's who ever bitches the most.
Chuck: That's probably me. I usually bitch the most. The glue that holds it together is my bitchness.
NR: Is this band a family unit, where you guys hang out with each other or...
Schwab: (Laughing)
Chuck: Schwab come on let him say the fucking question before you start laughing.
Schwab: I'm sorry... I'm picturing you hang out with me. "Let's go to Chucky Cheese, you guys!"
Chuck: We try to hang out out as much as we can.
Red: Schwab got married one day.
Chuck: Yeah he came in with a marriage certificate and we didn't know what the fuck was was up. But it turned out to be true. It wasn't drawn in crayon or anything.
Blue: We hang out as much as we can.
Chuck: When we have the chance to hang out we do.
Schwab: We go to concerts together once in awhile.
NR: With image being a big part of music, would you ever change the style of dress to get signed?
Chuck: Style of dress you? Mean like now?
Schwab: I haven't worn a dress in years!
Red: I'll tell you this fucking much... if somebody came out with a fucking million dollar contract and wanted me to wear a certain kind of pants, I would.
Chuck: I will wear a dress show me where to sign.
Red: If they wanted a certain type of music for us to play...
Chuck: I can't do radio-pop or nothing like that.
Schwab: You guys wanted to play that next song...
Chuck: Whatever, we'll talk later. I hate you Schwab.
NR: With a bunch of band being sponsored, do you think it's killing music?
Schwab: We're not going to mention our sponsors.
Chuck: We have sponsors? Are you serious?
Schwab: I don't know.
(laughing)
Schwab: Actually we do. Smash.
Blue: That's true.
Schwab: Iron Horse.
Chuck: Yeah, but they sponsor everyone. Oh you have a guitar, welcome to Smash.
Blue: I think it's killing music. It's like a new band every fucking week. It's like a new project every week.
Red: Kids don't care about the music it's more about what they are wearing.
Chuck: It's about the stereotype. Hard-core kids have the certain haircut, black shirt, blue jeans.
NR: You're going to start a fight.
Chuck: I don't care.
NR: I was just forewarning you.
Schwab: I look at sponsorships like this: how many tours do you go to these days like, Jagermister has these huge tours, Red Bull has its own tour and Virgin wireless has its tour...
Chuck: Really?
Schwab: Yeah.
Chuck: Verizon Wireless?
Schwab: Actually I think it's Verizon? Anyways Xbox has these tours too. It's cool for the bands who are sponsored, but do they get a free phone of just a gig on this tour? You got to wonder.
Chuck: It all comes down to what you like. If that's the way you want to be then that's the way you are going to be as long as the music stays the same, then who cares?
Schwab: If we ever get sponsored by Jager...
Chuck: Well Schawb gets drunk off pez.
Schwab: No I don't.
Chuck: Give schwab a wine cooler and he's on cloud nine.
Schwab: Bullshit, it's Boone's Farm, bitch!
Chuck: Two dollar high!
Chuck: Well we all drink Jager anyways, Jager, Jager, Jager!
Schwab: I support STRHS.
Chuck: Yeah don't we all.
Schwab: Yeah we wanted to be sponsored by STRHS clothing.
Red: Yeah in a heart beat.
Chuck: Walking advertisement over here. The fish brothers are tattooed all over the place.
NR: What are some of your favorite places to play?
Schwab: House of Blues.
Chuck: I was going to say the Time's Inn, but...
Red: Honestly, I like this place right here. I like all ages venues.
Blue: Gameworks is probably one of the best places to play.
Chuck: I would have to say Gameworks and The Cheyenne are some of the better places to play, but everyone likes the Cheyenne for their wonderful sound guy.
Schwab: I have to say this as far as bars go, the Cheyenne is not bad.
Chuck: Yeah...
Schwab: I'm not kidding.
Chuck: Totally, on a serious note I like The Cheyenne as far as bars go.
Schwab: As a posed to Time's Inn... as far as stage and they don't have a PA, where the Cheyenne has at least a stage. The sound needs work but we all have discussed that.
Chuck: I'll play anywhere as long as there are people. I don't care.
Schwab: And a weight room.
Chuck: Yeah a weight room and steroids, cause I do take Juice.
NR: When not playing music, what are your hobbies?
Chuck: I was going to say masturbation, but everyone is going to say that's a little overrated.
Blue: Video games.
Sergio:I like to go bowling.
Chuck: What? Everyone be quiet! Serg say that again?
Sergio: I like to go bowling.
Chuck: He likes to go bowling and he has to show...
Schwab: I draw...
Chuck: Schwab Tattoo's.
Schwab: Oh I play basketball when my knee is not swollen.
Red: Seriously I buy a porno a week, right after work.
Chuck: I got to the gym contrary to the way it looks.
NR: Are you guys working on a CD or anything for your fans in the future?
Schwab: Yes.
Chuck: Lets all point to Schwab on that one.
Blue: It's done. All we need is the vocals.
NR: So we can say it's in the works?
Chuck: It should be done in a month. It will be out their for everyone to enjoy, cause I want to hear it.
