them.
Don: The kid went
totally white and dropped. They took
him out in an ambulance, in critical
condition.
What other towns are memorable?
Don: Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Brian: Yep, young skaters who are into
the music, like fourteen, fifteen,
they've got a cool scene. Another cool
thing was when played in Austin with
the Big Boys and they had their
crowd. They had the whole audience
on stage with them.
Don: Same with Minor Threat and
their crowd. They were awesome.
Brian: Yep. Everybody would get on
stage and have a good time, sing along
and dance. It was just a totally free
atmosphere.
Don: That's what it's supposed to be
like: no barrier between the band and
the audience.
Seen any shows like that recently?
Brian: Yeah, Bad Mutha Goose is kind
of like that, but they don't have
people up on stage. They're just a
funky groove. They played here at the
Sun Club and everybody grooved and
danced the whole night.
Don: That used to be the cool thing
you'd get up there and worm, and
they didn't know what to do. They'd
chuck you off with 999 and the Buzz-
cocks or whoever. You got up there
because they didn't want you up there.
What about a classic show?
Brian: We had some great gigs at the
Mad Gardens, a Phoenix night club,
and we knew everybody there. It was
a wrestling ring and the bands played
inside of it.
Don: You could bounce off the ropes
and stuff, the stage was bouncy.
Brian: They put a fence up around
the stage at one point. We had people.

around us, shaking them, and scream-
ing and squirming. That was pretty.
good. Then there was the time at the
Whiskey where I got pantsed.
Don: My brother Mike and Steve-o
(from the Vandals) pantsed him.
There was Brian, all naked onstage at
the Whiskey
Brian: I was a young
kid at that point,
fifteen, and 1 was
embarrassed as all
shit, and it was on a
fast song with no
breaks, so I couldn't
stop singing, the
show had to go on.
So I kept on sing-
ing, kind of laying
down, then they
went right into the next song
Don: No pause at all.
Brian: Oh yeah, here's another one.
This was at LA's first skate rock gig. It
was the Big Boys, JEA, Aggression and
the Faction and stuff. All these bands
went on, they had a freestyle demo.
between sets and there was this big
Tiansworld banner behind the stage.
All the other bands played with thei
banner behind them, like it was
nothing, but me, I'm a man of morals
and ideals. I would not play in front
of that banner. The first song was an
instrumental, so I ran up and pulled it
down and wrapped myself like a
cocoon in this big old huge hanner,
and started dancing around, bopping
to the tunes. I guess I go a little bit
too close to the front row, and some
punker grabbed the end and yanked it
and spun me like a top.
Don: It was gone.
Brian: It disappeared, and they were
saying it was a five or eight hundred.
dollar banner and they were trying to
pin it on us.
Don: What banner?
Brian: We didn't take the banner, we
just used it as a prop, it was the audi-
ence who took it.
Any other good shows?
Brian: I remember we were playing.
the Salty Dog in Phoenix. It was like
two living rooms put together, and
the place was packed. We were
playing with TSOL or Social
Distortion, and I had some bottle
rockets. It had a real low ceiling, and I
was sitting on stage lighting off bottle
rockets. They'd zoom and hit the
ceiling and dive back into the crowd.
Don: That was the night I couldn't
see after one went off in my face.
What about the shate spots when you
were on tour?
Brian: When we went on tour, we
were connected with skaters all across
the country. We've skated some of the
most primo places...
Don: In Albuquerque, we're talking
45 m.p.h. downhills, and three, four.

place called the Spot. The banks in

Brian: The bummer about all that,
sec, was only that the hand skated on
the whole bus. So we had this con-

cool. That's why surf music doesn't
have vocals or leads, it's just music.
What direction is your music taking
on your latest demo?
Brian: The first song is kind of a
bluesy stroll with a heavy, hard
rhythm. It's called "Lone Coyote" and
it's about howling on the range and
watching the white man invade.
Dan: The second song is definitely a
different direction. It's called "Get

fifteen feet deep."

Did you guys write most of the songs?
Brian: Don and I wrote most of them,
but Cornelius wrote some great songs.
Don: Bam wrote one song
Brian: No, he wrote two. But no
matter who writes the words, I usually
re-write them, because I'll forget them
and make something up. It usually
gees changed around a little. Luckily,
Don doesn't mind, it just comes out
that way
Brian, any new piano riff or solos
Brian: Oh I've got all kinds of them.
They're coming out my fingers.
Don: In fact, before the old drummer
quit, we just finished a new tape and
we're going to give it to you guys for
the Skate Rock Ten compilation. A
couple are pretty piano-oriented.
Have you been skating recently?
Brian: Well, I was skating until this
little mishap over at Studio 43 (pulled
ligaments in the foot). It ended in
disaster when I was expecting it to
end in re-entry
What about your
skating, Redondo?
Don: Basically, I

Brian: Everybody. I wrote the "Lone

wrose "Get Out of My Sandbox." It's
about a little kid who's playing in his
playground and some big bully comes
and ruins his whole scene.
What was the third song about?
Don: "Camp Out" is about not going
into work, and camping out on the
side of the freeway in the big bushes.
Getting a hammock and camping out.
Giving up society completely. I think
about it everytime I'm stuck in traffic.
going to work.
What are your future plane?
Brian: I'm going to get this cast off
my leg and check out the pipes out
here in Arizona; we've got some secret
beauties now, but I'm not at liberty to
divulge any further information.
What have you been listening to?
Don: I really like the new Peter
Murphy album and the Black Crows.
I like the L.A. Guns, too. I like all
kinds of stuff.
Brian: I like the new DOA. and Jello
