Live on KSPC

Almost a year ago, back in April of '08 we were asked by a good friend of ours (Troy) to play a live set on his radio show, entitled Taboo, which mostly played hardcore, punk, noise, grind, all sorts of punk influenced music. The station was located on the Claremont Colleges campus. We had never done anything like this, and we were stoked. So we get to this place, and they take us to the studio which is downstairs, pretty much under ground about 3 levels. and it was pretty gnarly. the studio was just like i had pictured it looking like, tons of old ass posters, and shit all over the walls. So, we start to set up and we could already start to tell that we were getting on the staffs nerves with our cursing, and our politically incorrect lingo(that's just the way we talk). It's not like we were trying to piss them off, that's just what happens when you have 5 excited/anxious hispanics inside of a radio studio. But we made some of them smile, and laugh at our shinanagains. So they must not have hated us too much. So back to the set, the sound check was a disaster, we could kind of tell that the dude doing the sound and levels didn't know what the fuck he was doing, luckily it didn't sound so bad, or he was about to see us get ignorant his white ass! ha. We start to play, apparently we went off air for about 30 seconds in the middle of our first song, we didn't know it, but that's what was said to me the next day at work from my boss. Anyways, typical Xibalba fashion, we must tune our guitars after ever song, and in-between the songs, Troy would play some really erie/evil ambient noises from some dark ambience band (i wish i remember what they were called). After the set, Troy did an interview with us that was pretty fun and interesting, with us being a bunch of knuckleheads saying we were going on tour with Slipknot. Then after the interview we just chilled in the studio and listening to Troy's show, he even let us pick some music, and let me intro the first 2 songs off "Jane Doe." Overall it was a great and fun experience, one we will probably never get to experiene again. Here is the link to download the set from that night, i will try and get a copy of the interview portion of the show.
