(laughs)

P:Oh, whatever.

P2: East siders rule! I'm telling you...

P:Yeah, whatever. You know what, you have something in common with, actually, with a...with Adam.

P2:Who's the KISS fan?

P: Right there.

Adam: Right here.

P2:That you?

P: There ya go.

P2:Who's your favorite?

Adam: Uh, wow...I'd say I love Gene Simmons.

P2:Right on! Gene Simmons is my favorite too. Cool, we're bonding. I like it.

P: Oh yeah, that's very special. I couldn't be happier about that for you...

P2: Yeah, whatever...

P:...Tell us, how, now...you guys habe an interesting history which I don't completely understand becuase there was a time when Martin Zellar was invovled. Or am I wrong about that?

Adam: Yeah, we played with Martin Zellar for a little while.

Noah: Adam and I did.

Adam:Yeah..actually it was Alcomino.

P:Alcomino? Okay.

Noah: Actually, we had his backing band...originally. We were his backing band and the rest of the band was with Adam and I.

P: Okay.

Adam:Does that make sense?

P:Yes, then you kind of split a part...

Noah: split a part

P:...and then came back together and formed the Honeydogs?

Adam:Right.

P:Right? Two members from Alcomino and then the other two people, right?

Adam: Right, Nic Ciola from Martin's band played with us on out first record and Jon Duncan, the keyboard player, also played with us.

P: And all, pretty much local. I know you guys tour a lot.

Adam:Yep.

P:In fact, I was readin a...some information that said since 1995 you'be been doing about 200 shows a year?

Trent:That was kind of an exaggeration.

P:Kind of? Kind of? How much of an exaggeration?

Trent:About 50 shows.

P:Oh, okay.

Trent: But no, um...

P:You do 50 or...

Trent: No, no. Last year we didn't tour as much but we did a stunt last year where it was 50 shows in like 60 days so...

P:Wow, and you're big in Canada? Adam:We're huge in Canada.

P:And you have a following there?

Adam: Well, we're doing okay in Canada. We haven't been there too often, but yeah, people seem to like us there.

P:Now, tell us about this song "I Miss You", it's been around since when?

Adam: Wow, that's the...

Trent: It's like 7 years old.

Adam:That's a 7 year old song, so uh...in some ways, the sentiment of the song feels like I was in another place and time when I wrote it.

P:Now, were uo personally surprised when you heard it again, being played on this particular radio station?

Adam:Uh, very, very surprised considering the records been out for a bit now. So that means it's really nice to haveit played again.

P:Now did somebody...

Adam: We were surprised.

P:Did somebody call you and say "hey, the point is playing that record" or did you hear it?

Adam:Somebody told me they were playing it and I kind of doubted it at first but the reports kept coming in so, yeah.

P2:How does it make you feel to know that it's like one of our most requested songs right now?

Adam: It's pretty unbelievable.

P:It's actually...

Adam:...it's awesome.

Noah:When we play it live, you feel it. It's very different all of a sudden.

HD:It's really wierd, the last 3 shows. It's almost like...isn't this the truth...every show is like people pogoing the same way where ever we paly this song.

(laughs)

P:It actually is the #1 testing song, above everything else we play right now. It is the most popular song on this radio station.

Noah: How do you test that?

P:Um, we just go out in the street and go "hey, you guys have ever heard of the Honeydogs? Give me a thumbs up if you like it, then we'll play it some more" (laughs)exactly, so now and you guys have a fairly recent addition, Brian.

HD:Right.

P:And you replaced Tommy?

Brian:Uh huh.

P:And where did they find you? Out of the street?

Brian:I've known these guys for a while, been around town...friends.

P:Have you been with other bands locally here and...

Brian:I've played with the Scott Laurent Band before-I mean Rampage.

(laughs)

...Peter...no Peter from those days...

P:Peter Borne?...Do you guys...

Adam:Yeah, he won the band contest at Saints...

HD:What was Rampage?

Brian:I got a video for you guys later

(laughs)

P:You want to hear something about Peter Borne who apparently you've worked with in a band? He owns the bat Mobile.

Brian:I've seen the Bat Mobile.

P:You have? Have you ever ridden in it?

Brian:No, he didn't like it.

P:Oh, okay.

P2:See there you go, you blow the secret cover again. He doesn't even need the mask next time.

Noah:Is the bat mobile a mopar(?)?

P:Uh, Lincoln. It's a Lincoln, now we learned something.v HD:Let's do the car talk later, next hour. P:That's right, okay, what's the lastest disc? Do you have one on the way? Or I know you already have one out now too.

Adam:We've been sitting o nit for a little while. We're kind of waiting for it to come out. We're hoping it will come out by like January at the latest.

P:And it's called?

Adam:"Here's Luck".

P:"Here's Luck", okay cool.
