In part one of this interview, the two discuss the origin of the band, and how hard it was to get shows while fighting the “novelty band” stigma. It was so bad the local all ages club known as 924 Gilman (The “Alternative Music Foundation”) wouldn’t even book them, so out of necessity they founded their own record label S.P.A.M. Records with friend and fairly regular backup singer John Mink (aka John Geek). They also created and booked their own festival “Geekfest“, had a few of their songs also appearing on the Dr. Demento show,and went on to achieve legendary underground and cult status performing over 1000 local and national gigs. In time they even began headlining the very club that said they were “to alternative” to play.
