I decided to do this as I was getting information for my Vintage Vault, so hopefully I will have new stuff to add to this often. I LOVE nice people!! If you're reading this and feel that you're interesting enough to be interviewed, contact me with some info. The list of people I have interviewed is below, just click on their names to get the scoop. And before you go, here's a little quote on as to why you should be reading this and not the damn newspaper:

--"Jeff Spevak's the worst journalist that I’ve ever seen. He doesn't research the material, he doesn’t attempt to go to the shows that he comments on, he's not a participant in anything that he writes about reflecting this “Garage Pop” scene. He wouldn’t know anything about what the shows sound like because he doesn’t go. He’s asking people what it was like and then writing about it. That’s good journalism. I don’t have to worry about him lambasting us- he doesn’t write shit about anything that’s worth a fuck anyway. Here’s what I suggest: a box of crayons." --Keith

Interview #1: One the famous Snyder brothers and my very first interview ever...Dan Snyder of the Quitters!!! (Dec. 1999)

Interview #2: The bassist who doubles as a tattoo artist... Mike Deuce of the Veins!!!(Jan-Feb 2000)

Interview #3: Rochester drummer great of the Quitters, Veins, Thunder Gods, Duke Galaxy and the Pipeliners; and bassist for the Priests... Rob Filardo !!!(May-June 2000)

Interview #4: The interview that took me two months to recover from and is so fucking long it could be it's own book... get ready to read about The Grinders!!! Divided into three convient sections for your reading pleasure and attention span preservation! Actually, it looks longer than it really is. I divided it up, so there is less text on more pages. (Conducted July 18, 2000 LIVE @ Java's using the analog recording process)
