MH: After the many years of performing, are
          there  any  bands  or  artists  that  you  all
          opened for that are your favorites?

          TH: We have not played with a lot of big bands,
          but all the local bands from the scene back in
          the  day  were  some  of  my  favorite  times,  like
          Spiders  N  Snakes  and  the  Glitter  and  Glam
          nights,  punk  rock  shows,  and  the  Undercover
          Slut tours we did. We always have fun playing
          live and look forward to it anytime we can.

          MH:  This  is  a  favorite  question  I've  been
          asking lately. 2020 and 2021 have been really
          challenging years for all of us. Just when we
          thought concerts were starting to open up,
          we're  now  seeing  some  being  postponed.
          How has all this changed or challenged the
          band  and  what  has  been  the  biggest
          obstacle  for  you  as  an  artist  and  in  your
          personal lives?

          TH: We kept rehearing and writing all through
          the  pandemic  and  got  our  live  fix  by  playing
          private  living  room  shows  here  at  our
          headquarters with close friends in attendance.
          We posted some of the songs online, but for the
          most  part,  have  not  played  out.  Here  in  Los
          Angeles, shows picked up again, but we have
          not  jumped  back  into  it  as  of  yet.  We  look
          forward to playing out again soon when people
          want to go out again and getting COVID does
          not interfere with being able to make a living with
          our day jobs.

          MH: Where do you see yourself in the next
          couple  of  years?  Any  music  projects  or
          tours/shows coming up?

          TH: We have a new release coming out later this
          year and will be re-releasing our ‘Best Of’ to the
          digital  platforms.  People  can  get  most  of  our
          physical  releases  and  other  merchandise
          directly  from  our  website.  We  plan  on
          performing live in 2022 when things are safe for
          everyone  and  there  is  no  hassle  to  perform
          shows due to the COVID restrictions. We are in
          our third decade as a band and not even the
          pandemic will stop us!
