1. What did you do for New Year's Eve?
We played a party at a nice local place, The Long Island City Bar. Funny, even though it’s only a five minute drive from my house across a little bridge into Queens, it’s such a different world over there that I didn’t recognize a single face, except of course for Richard Mazda, who produced our Roman Gods and Hexbreaker albums back in the early 80’s. He lives in LIC now and built the stage for the show. Imagine that!
2. Who were some of the most interesting people you met in 2008?
Well, There’s David Kamp, author of ‘United States of Arugula’ and “The Wine Snobs Companion’. Winds up that he’s our neighbor at our place in the country. Who else? Arnt of The GooGooMen in Norway and Terri T of WFMU. Actually, we meet so many interesting people in our line of business, that is, being a Fleshtone!
3. So are you tired of playing songs from your album yet? Are you ready for new material?
I’m not exactly tired of playing our stuff because we have so much to fall back on. Still, I’m always up for playing new stuff, even before I know how to play it!
4. What were some of your favorite albums this year?
‘Exit Laughing’ (or is it Crying?) by the Born Liers has got to be one of them, but I don’t mind saying that our ‘Take A Good Look’ takes the cake. We’ve been maiking records a long time and it’s nice to be able to keep coming up with stuff like that!
