Using my special All Access Buddyhead Press Pass (a one line email from Travis that didn’t have my name on it) I deftly made my way in through the loading bay to the stage area to confront lead guitarist Ben Weinman, tackle him to the ground and force an interview out of him by shining a bright light in his eyes and playing good cop bad cop with my cameraman. But it turns out he was a really nice dude. He even gave us free tickets! What a sweetheart… I’m carving his name in my arm as I type, which is actually really difficult.
So between having a beard-off (which, as you can plainly see he schooled me at), discovering we had actually left home without a DV tape, running out of the venue, Indiana Jones-style powersliding under the shop door before it closed, buying it for like three times what it was worth, complaining about said price inflation and hitting on the babin’ merch chick we got some kind of interview out of him. Eat it up, its good for you…
Or watch it on youtube (it’s the same as the video above though)…
