Interview with Cufi and Cosmo of El Pus - Page 4

Cosmo: Constantly writing and coming up with themes for future songs, but the main focus is trying to break the current album…..grind, grind, grind!

Where do you see yourselves in the next five or ten years?

Cufi: No idea. I hope we've sold a significant number of records by then, hopefully we'd be several albums in, and an established entity in the industry with a couple of awards, honors, and the respect of our peers. Most of all, hopefully we'll all still be cool with each other, and having fun pushing the boundaries of creativity with our music.

Cosmo: Shit, I have no idea. I haven’t seen enough yet to know where I want to be in five or ten years. I just know I want to be there.

How was touring with Reel Big Fish?

Cufi: It was a great experience. Those are some really down to earth, cool guys that are super cool to their fans, and their fans were super cool towards us. The band and their fan base embraced us, so the tour was like summer camp. Hanging out with a bunch of cool fellas every day for several months...it was everything you'd imagine a fun rock tour should be. We hated to see it end, and hopefully, we'll go out with them again in the future. It was a great fit.

Cosmo: The shit! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but that being our FIRST national tour, we couldn’t ask for a better one. The cats in RBF were cool as hell, the crowds were receptive everywhere we went, and the other supporting bands made it all a memorable experience. I learned a lot from RBF on many levels during that tour. They write good songs, put on a bomb show, and have a level of professionalism that can only be respected. ‘nuff respect!

In your online diary, you wrote about some memorable moments from your tour in Europe. Could you share some of those memories here?

Cufi: Wow...I think I wrote everything I could muster up on the diary. I just enjoyed Europe, the people, the culture, but not the food. I ended up losing weight over there 'cause all I could eat were french fries (chips). That was the only thing that tasted the same no matter which country we were in, so I stuck with that... The festival food was good, but once we were on our own, I was hard pressed to find things I liked.
