Riot Fest has a great interview with one of my favorite artists, John Reis. He’s the mastermind/frontman of some of my favorite bands (Rocket From the Crypt, Hot Snakes, Night Marchers) and he always has some sun-bleached So.-Cal. wisdom for people.
We’ve always just done things in a way that we would appreciate if someone else did them. If one of our favorite bands came through and did a whole tour of shows for free, that’d be so cool. We could afford to do it, so we did that.
The Hot Snakes are playing the Fest. The rest of the lineup looks ridiculous.
