Popularity rank 41 #125. Post-show with Kevin Edo

March 29, 2006

KULA: Great show tonight, Kevin. Now this tour is for a live album, right?
KEVIN EDO: Yeah. But we're not playing or singing live during the shows.

KEVIN EDO: So the album'll be live recordings of pre-recorded songs, with a little crowd noise in the background.

KEVIN EDO: We charge people for CDs, we charge them to hear the same recordings at our shows, and now we'll charge them to hear their own damn clapping.

KEVIN EDO: It's either interesting conceptual art... or a really dick thing to do. Either way, it'll be out in September. Listerine strip?
KULA: No... no thanks.
