A lot of the songs on Black Glitter were written like the songs on our first record, which means they were written the same day as we recorded them; some of the others, not so much. The songs you are asking about were written a couple weeks prior to recording. We try not to put too much thought into our process, though, ‘cuz when you think you stink!!
I know that you've done some touring for this record, including a stint where you shared the bill with Juliette and the Licks for a while. What did you walk away from that experience with? Not many crowds would be ready to have even one band fronted by a woman capable of blowing their socks off, much less two – was it as much fun as I imagine it to have been?
The Juliette tour was an amazing experience for all of us! We walked away from that tour with a new family! Simi and Juliette are like peas and carrots. The crowds did go ape-shit having us open and then having Juliette coming out kickin’ much ass, as well!
We actually are going back on the road with them in this summer but we are going to Europe instead of the states.
Of course, as an ending to an interview this probably leaves much to be desired, but I find myself suddenly wanting to check and see how hard it would be to get a passport and get my rotund butt to Europe this summer!
Next up I’ll really dig into their record, Black Glitter, as I think damn near anyone who loves rock music will adore. Until then, go check them out at thier MySpace profile — I love these guys (and gal!) and so should you!
