The French Quarter was an old haunt of yours back in the day, and you used to crash above Big Daddy's strip club, didn’t you? You have kids coming up, thanking you and almost crying! That’s another reason why I like doing it, because it does mean a lot to them. That means a lot to those fans because those places aren’t common stops on tour. Travelling is education, and it’s a way to learn about other cultures and other people. That was exciting! For the most part, every show was packed with this huge scene of kids that love heavy music and American bands. In 2019 we went to South America, Taiwan, Israel, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and there’s scenes in all those places. I also lived in New York, and with all the travelling the band has done, it’s just been non stop for my whole life. I was born in North Carolina, moved to New Orleans and not long after that I ended up running away from home and going to Texas and California. The name kinda came outta nowhere, but I knew it meant something to me. You've lived a nomadic way of life since you were a kid, haven't you? I like the title of the new record- A History of Nomadic Behavior. The people that are there now, are cool, and they run the whole label differently.Įyehategod | A History of Nomadic Behavior 2021 The Century Media that exists now is run by completely different people, compared to the early 90’s. They basically just screwed over a bunch of young kids. We were like 19 at the time, and we signed a record contract ‘cause they promised to send us to Europe, and we were like, “Ok, that sounds great!” But when you look back at the contract, it’s terrible. We did a deal for like one album and we licensed it them, which basically means that they promote and distribute it, but we still own the rights to the songs, which is a big deal! In the old days in the 90’s, we were on Century Media, but we were actually signed to the label for some ridiculous 6 album deal. We’re not signed to Century Media Records, ya know. It’s awesome to see younger people collecting vinyl.
I see people on Instagram saying that they only need to get one more and they will have all eleven. Revolver did one, Century Media did their own, and ours is smoke purple, I think. I think there’s eleven different colours of the record. We were in the Ukraine and we had to come home and postpone some shows. 12, which is strange because it's exactly a year since the lockdown started, to the day. 12 on Century Media Records, and it’s been cool see see so many variants of the vinyl up fro pre-order! So ya, we had planned to take time off then all this stuff happened and we had no choice. We had planned to take off after that so I could do the vocals for the record. We had Psycho Fest and some other fest we were going to do. We did plan to take off the rest of the year except for a few shows in 2020. Give us a couple weeks in between two big tours and we’re ready to go. We don’t seem to ever get tired of touring, ya know. Has this little break been nice, and are you itching to get back out there?Īll that touring was fun and a great experience. When I was a kid in like 1981/’82, Negative Approach was one of my favourite bands, so to end up touring with them years later, is really strange and kinda surreal.Įyehategod was on the road and all over the world for about 3 years-from 2017 to 2020. He texts me and sends me weird Alice Cooper stuff from Youtube. He’ll talk about The Stooges, the MC5 and Alice Cooper. He just likes to have his beer and his cigarettes and he’s happy. That’s what people say-that John’s frightening, live. That was the first time I saw Negative Approach live, and John scared the shit outta me. All those people are super cool and we all have the same mindset. I love touring with those old hardcore bands. That was a good night! We did the tours with Negative Approach and Sheer Terror on the east coast and the west coast, and then we went out with The Accüsed, Negative Approach and Final Conflict. You must have had a blast touring with those two bands? There were some Outlaws in the crowd, the place was packed and the party was going hard that night. Last time I saw you was at The Middle East in Boston and Eyehategod was playing with Negative Approach and Sheer Terror.
