California Recap Part 2

The next day, we met with three fifth's of the Los Angeles rock band, Bluebird. The guys in Bluebird are close friends of Silkworm, and have been touring and recording for over ten years. Check out some of their music here.

First we interviewed their singer, Sam Velde:


a story about Michael:


And then we changed locations and interviewed the rhythm section of Bluebird, brothers Bryan and Jim Brown.


We killed time, eating dinner with Jim at a wonderful Vietmanese resteraunt in the neighborhood. Soon after, we drove in the pouring rain to home offices of Southern Lord Records to interview Greg Anderson. Greg was in a band called Engine Kid that became a sort of brother band to Silkworm in the overcrowed Seattle scene of the nineties. He has since played, sang and written songs in Burning Witch, Goatsnake, and Sunn O))) in addition to co-running Southern Lord Records.



The next morning, we met up with Eric Weisbard, longtime music writer and critic.
On critic's reaction to the band:


Part 3 will be up very soon and I will be posting more interview clips from past interviews within the next few weeks.
