The best show I ever played was... Julio: the show I recorded for the #whereareyoujoe bootleg at Foam. It was simply fantastic. The lineup was killer back to back, the audience was fierce and exciting, and the mood was of pure fun. I loved it! Antonio: probably our first unofficial basement showcase for the enjoyment of birthday boy Cole Figus, proud Milkshed dweller and owner along with Volcanoes' very own Eric Peters. With the right amounts of light and beer, respectively poor and excessive, fifty people can seem like a wild stampede directed at you in a wavy tribal dance. Joe: Julio says the Foam/#whereareyoujoe show, but so far I think I loved our first unofficial basement show that was put together in like a day. So much love was in that room. One guy even told us that it sounded like he was transported back into an 80's punk concert because of our energy,
The best post-show food in St. Louis is... Julio: QuikTrip because we are all broke all the time. Antonio: a dollar menu or pocket friendly combo. One day I'll elevate from Rally's -- I promise. Joe: more beer.
The dream line-up for a show is... Julio: any show with Volcanoes. We love playing with them and it has become like a thing where we play and then they play and I jump in at the end of "A Knife in the Dark" to play drums. It's extremely fun and we love those guys. Boreal Hills is also a damn fun band to play with, they're fierce garage rock so we blend in really nicely and set that raw mood with ease. We love playing with garage bands in general because Antonio and me are always looking for new garage music to listen to. Antonio: the smashing firepower of the duos Volcanoes and Boreal Hills. We will all come together one day, hopefully in an abandoned warehouse. Joe: Including us? What Julio said, although we already got to play with Rigoletto, and that was a music nerd's dream come true.
