The Flagpole was able to catch up with the band at The Cotton Club on Saturday. FPs Where and when whom will you be playing during the New Music Seminar? JQ: Well, we’re playing Saturday, July 14th at Tramps with some other bands that we really haven’t heard of. We’re also play ing Wednesday, July 18th at the Knitting Factory. That should be a good show. We’re playing with one of the guys from The Sugarcubes. FPs I know that you’ve played other new music gatherings, like SXSW... how do you think playing these shows will help you? JQ: That’s a good question. We’ve played SXSW, New South, and now the New Music Seminar in NY; so, we much be doing something right. I think that we are able to reach a lot of people who want to see lots of different bands, but are unable to travel out of town to see them. Also, it’s good for the band to be exposed to some influential people. FPs What other Atlanta bands are play ing up there? JQ: Follow For Now is playing, and I think that Hollyfaitn will drag themselves up there as well. FPs How was your tour with Poi Dog Pondering? JQ: It was great! We just drove in from Colorado. We sold out all of the shows in Los Angeles and San Francisco. We were able to tour with Poi Dog all around the west coast up to Seattle and through Colorado. The two bands were a great combination we drew some great crowds. FPs What are your plans after the New Music Seminar? JQ: We’re going on a 2 1/2 week tour with Robyn Hitchcock through the midwest. Things are really rolling on, we’re excited about that. The Jody Grind will be in Athens Wed nesday night, July 11th for a concert under the stars at the Rockfish Palace. ^ n m m ■? ctormtNe '£uATe:MAU v '[ 00*/.
