I tracked down Blitzen Trapper and the idea was to interview them. What actually ensued could, I suppose, be called an interview…these guys are hilarious and a breath of fresh air in the music scene. In this video you will hear the boys talk about Sasquatch, Yakima, the Blitzen Bat Cave, The Hold Steady and a Seattle-based record label. Then they discuss their superpowers, how the length of a tour should be determined by how long one’s beard becomes and how they had to sell their tambourine player on the way to SXSW. Finally they discuss Holocene’s diseased, cancerous lung…you’ll have to watch and listen…oh and yes, they wrestle me to the ground….click the image to play. Postscript: It’s official they signed to Sub Pop - Article on this here.
