So it’s for our fans, they get something new in this gap between this record now and the next record. Gavin: Basically, it’s something we haven’t done and it’s something for us to release from us starting to write a new album and the new one coming out. Gavin: May 11th, in San Francisco at the Fillmore.īobby: Why did you decide to do a live CD at this point? I’ve also read that after that you guys are going to be releasing a live CD, is that true? It’s like people want to do more than just bring rock songs to the radio- so why not?īobby: After this Taste of Chaos tour you guys are going on a headlining tour with Ours. Not only commercially, but just as a feeling. Music goes in phases well all of art goes in phases I guess. Why do you think bands are getting into the concept album idea? Green Day, Armor For Sleep, a whole bunch of bands. So we just kind of split it up that way.īobby: Lately a lot of bands are doing concept albums. When we listened to them and put it together, the album order, we just felt like the first half of the record was split up by that last song, after “Sang Real”, just had a whole different feeling. Mark: I think we felt like the two halves had different feelings. The idea of having the record in two halves was our main goal, so it only seemed logical to use a basic idea like Ying-Yang something really broad.īobby: What is “Perspective One” against “Perspective Two” on the CD? Gavin: I think the initial idea was to come up with a record that was split in half and we wanted to have a concept that was a little more direct and I think we just started from that. I’ve read that it’s all about negative and positives, opposites and contractions – why gave you the inspiration to do that? CarBabesThe – it has all the information about it.īobby: All your releases so far have been concept albums Catch Without Arms is no different. Dino’s doing another one right now by himself.ĭino: It’s called Car Babes. It just helped us know where we were going to put it in the movie.īobby: Do you see yourself doing it again? We named them after the scene that they were going to use them in, but there’s no actual title like we title our rock songs. He did the video for “Of The Room.”īobby: Some people on your message board wanted to know do any of the score have any song titles? We’ve known each other for a long time and were always talking about working together, so he came to us with this film and we said “okay.” Mark: We’re friends with the writer/director. A sort of departure from what we normally do, which is always a healthy thing.īobby: How did that all get set up? Like how did you guys end up doing that? It was different than doing a rock record. Gavin: I didn’t work on it, it was those two *points at Dino and Mark* Why did you guys want to do that in the first place?ĭrew: Why did we want to do that? Because it’s another way for us to perform.īobby: Last month was the release of the independent film Waterborne, which of course, you guys did the entire score for. I’ve read that you guys were working on a movie documenting the entire album, will you guys ever release that?ĭrew: Yeah, the main character died though, so it’s not going to happen.īobby: That’s too bad. I mean, we haven’t had any bad crowds or anything, so, why not?īobby: Okay, your first released, Leitmotif, was released back in 1999 and then re-released in 2001. Gives us something to do instead of sitting at home.ĭino: A lot of exposure too. You guys being more progressive rock while most of the other bands are more hardcore/emo bands, what made you decide to come on and do the tour?ĭrew: I just like Deftones and Thrice a lot, we like those bands. We’ve been used to being on the main stage, so now we’re moving to the second stage so it’s a little different today, and the rest of the tour but it’s been good.īobby: For me anyway, you guys seem a bit out of place on this tour. This is the first time we’re moving stages. We’ve only been on it for how many weeks now? Two?

While it didn’t got as smoothly as I hoped, it was still a fun interview, and I’d like to thank the band for doing it and to John (who makes an appearance in the interview) for setting it up. But before they hit the stage, we sat down on their tour bus for fifteen minutes to talk about the band’s upcoming plans, their fantasy tours, and, like always, cannibalism. The one reason I wanted to go to this year’s Taste Of Chaos was to see Dredg live – and what a performance they put on.
