Any new recordings that we can expect soon in the form of a new full
length?

Steve Kille: We are re-releasing our early catalog as well as in and out of the studio making a new Matador record.

Jason Simon: We just finished tracking in an 1860's pioneer travelers lodge in Indiana.

How has the relationship with Matador Records been?

Steve Kille: Great, they are music collectors that is always helpful.

Any thoughts or anecdotes from the current tour with Wolfmother?

Steve Kille: Lots of new faces.

Jason Simon: This tour has strengthened my resolve to keep up the good fight, if you know what I mean. Our sound man was the victim of a either a hit and run or the Wendigo. We turned the van around for 3 minutes and upon our return he was a bloody mess. It was fucked up. He is healing and he is still rocking the desk.
