First off can you state your name and what you do
in the band.
David Isen, guitar.
Where does the name of the band come from?
I dunno, its dumb.
How is the headlining tour going?
Killer
What are your touring plans for after this?
We don't have any. We'll probably just go to the beach.
What's up with The Reaping? Why are so many bands
hyping this movie?
Dollars and cents yo. I don't know if it was the right decision
artistically, but it was the right decision (in death metal voice)
FINANCIALLY.
Can you tell us about the band got to host a private screening?
That was part of the deal we worked out with Warner Bros pictures. It
was really fun, the crowd was rowdy, and we had some nice French onion
soup and martinis at the hotel lounge afterwards.
You guys seem to have a problem with Chiodos. I
interviewed them last
Year and they declined to comment. Can you tell us what that's all about?
In 11th grade Nathan (our singer) kicked the shit out of Craig
(Chiodos singer) and he's been running from us ever since.
How did you guys hook up with your new drummer Chris?
We made him out of Twinkies. He's still learning how to walk.
How was the Mexico tour?
Chupa me culo, it was really great. We partied way too hard in Mexico
City which led to a chain reaction of illness that culminated in our
tour managers near death. Nathan had a tequila induced psychotic
episode in Monterrey and we ate a lot of questionable tacos. The kids
there were so enthusiastic and psyched to see us. More bands should
definitely give Mexico some serious thought.
You have been keeping the fans updates on the new
record with video
Journals on Myspace/Youtube. Who's idea was that?
Dash's aunt suggested the idea to us, and it seemed like it would be
perfect. I noticed that all the other studio video journals out there
were so horrible and boring, and we could do it so much better.
How is the new record coming along?
We just got the final mastered version. Its pretty special. Its
gonna depress a lot of bands that aren't as good as us.
What label will you be putting it out on?
Koch
How has the reaction for the Pizza EP been?
Most people love the concept and think the music is kinda half-assed,
and I agree with that assessment.
Where did the idea of a concept album about pizza come
from?
We were eating the most amazing pizza at Lou Malnati's in Chicago. It
became more obvious with each bite that we had to pay tribute to this
heavenly gift.
What made you guys decide to cover the TMNT theme?
Turtles like pizza and we like pizza, it was a no brainer.
When you guys aren’t playing what do you
do for fun?
I've been jacking off about twice a day. That's not really for fun
though, its more of fulfilling a need. I like eating too, but that
also falls under that category.
If you could play a show with any three bands, past or
present, who
wouldthey be?
Vanna, Escape the Fate, and Gatsby's American Dream
Best Nintendo game ever?
The Legend of Zelda
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Any last words for the fans and
readers?
Nothing is worth anything
