GR: When are you re-releasing the last Jawbreaker album, Dear You? AP: I just got an email from Mr. Jerome Robbins, who you might remember from Jawbox. He also produced all the Jets to Brazil albums. |

GR: J Robbins' first name is Jerome? AP: No, I just like to call him Jerome Robbins because that's the choreographer from West Side Story. He was mixing the song "Shirt," which was something we didn't put on Dear You. So there will be an extra song on the re-release. GR: Since being a full-time band member in Jawbreaker, have you missed road food, long drives, and other aspects of touring? AP: No, but I definitely have a different take on touring now. Even on the last tour with J Church for five weeks when Lydia was pregnant with our second baby, the attitude was so different than before. It was so, "Load in at 4:00? Bullshit." We'd sleep in, take it easy, go to bookstores, and actually find good food. It was really nice. That's how we do it now. We threw out the do-or-die thing. We're not trying to blow doors every night. GR: Does that mean you're going to suck tonight, since this is just Pomona and L.A.'s coming up in a few days? AP: Not even. You'll see. GR: How serious is Whysall Lane? AP: It's as serious as a heart attack. Don't forsake the Lane. We play like once a month. People invite us to do benefits and the Noise Pop festival, the Asian American Film Festival, the Pinoise Pop thing. You know them? They're totally awesome. GR: First J Church and now Whysall Lane. Are you only going to be in bands with Asian members from now on? AP: It just happens to be how it's worked out. I'm an honorary peeps. Have you guys heard from Lance? |
