As we continue to cover the news here in Belgium, we've just gotten word of some developing news in New York. Of course, it's on the political front. Of course, it is unescapable even all these thousands of miles away. And this is an interesting one. The political candidate Ted Cruz is lashing out at Donald Trump for going after Ted Cruz's wife. Cruz has just called Donald Trump a, quote, sniveling coward, among other things. Trace Gallagher with details on, well, this. Trace? You know, Shep, it started out as a Twitter battle, and now it's become a shouting match. The basis here is that an anti-Trump super PAC put an ad on Facebook, and it showed Melania Trump nude in a nude photo shoot from 16 years ago. And Donald Trump was furious, and he sent out a tweet to Ted Cruz saying, quote, Lion Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a GQ shoot. And then Trump goes on to say he was going to spill the beans on Heidi Cruz. Well, Ted Cruz then tweeted back, The pic of your wife. Is not from us, Donald. If you try to attack Heidi, you're more of a coward than I thought. And today, Ted Cruz said this about Donald Trump. Play it. I don't get angry often. But you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that'll do it every time. Donald, you're a sniveling coward, and leave Heidi the hell alone. So will you support him as the nominee? I'm going to beat him for the nomination. I am answering the question. Donald Trump will not be. The nominee. Remember, Cruz had said he would support Trump if he were to become the nominee. Keep in mind, everyone was wondering, Shep, what was the beans that Donald Trump threatened to spill. Trump's campaigner, former campaign advisor, said it might have something to do with marital troubles or her depression she suffered some 10 years ago. More on this as it comes, Shep. Incredible. Absolutely incredible. It's not easy to tick me off. I don't get angry often. But you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that'll do it every time. Donald, you're a sniveling coward, and leave Heidi the hell alone. Donald, you're a sniveling coward. Donald, you're a sniveling coward. Donald, you're a sniveling coward. If I fuck you in your ass, punk white boy, I eat your ass on the lobby, bitch. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.

We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. two or three dozen of criminals because I think the judge is the first thing necessary for the happiness of the country. ¶¶ ¶¶ ¶¶ ¶¶ ¶¶ I can't move When the wind comes down Yeah When the wind comes down Yeah I'm sitting on the sand I'm sitting on the sand When the wind comes down When the wind comes down Yeah When the wind comes down When the wind comes down When the wind comes down When the wind comes down Yeah, boy, make some noise Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, baby When it comes down When it comes down Yeah, yeah, yeah Right now Hey! When it shifts a man With a single hand When it comes down Yeah! What aberration What aberration What aberration We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We have seen imitators. We've also seen duplicators. But now, it's time for the originators. The originators. Los Angeles and the rest of the world. You know what time it is. Many have tried to replicate. Many have tried to duplicate. But there's only one real, true, subversive underground show, despite hearing Striper and the Rolling Stones. Whoops. You're listening to the very manic Jimmy Cab show. I am your host, Jimmy Cabs, broadcasting live from beautiful downtown, gentrified Lawson. Los Angeles. Aye, aye, aye. The Rolling Stones in Cuba. Yeah, who would have thought that? Right? The Rolling Stones in Cuba. One of the things that, when it comes to thinking about Cuba and the Rolling Stones playing in Cuba, the first thing that comes to my mind is Che must be turning in his fucking grave. Oh, yeah. Super bummed. Right? Super bummed. Now, Chester, you've been to Cuba. You're a... Yeah. You've been there firsthand. You know, you're not... I had a... Yeah, I was there in May of 2014, like, kind of right before all this stuff started happening. Yeah, you were there. I mean, now, you know, the Hilton hotel chain and Starbucks. Americans are coming in and they're going to fuck it up. Americans are coming. The capitalists are coming. You know, even though Fidel Castro has... You know, say what you will about Fidel. He did survive, you know, the United States trying to kill him. Dude, okay, let's... Let's go... Let's backtrack. Let's backtrack. Okay. Okay, first off. Right? You are correct. Fidel Castro has survived. Survived. Survived the mafia. Multiple assassination attempts for over 50 years. That dude has been giving the middle finger to America for half a century. Dude, survived. And he's still alive to do it. Dude, survived the fucking, you know, the Colombians with their, you know, Medellin, survived that. That dude is 90. Dude. And he's still got the middle finger to America. Yeah. Hey, listen, Chester. When you were... When you were in Cuba, let me ask you this. What is the sentiment towards Americans in Cuba? Do they... Did they like your fucking fat ass over there? Yeah, you know what? So the thing about Cuba... Slightly obese ass, I mean. That's all right. The thing about Cubans is that the Cubans you meet on the street keep politics very separate. Oh, hell yeah. They don't talk about that shit over there. They don't talk about it. As far as they're concerned... That's the government. And really, you know, they just keep things quiet. They don't get into it. They keep it to themselves. Do you think they're going to enjoy fucking the quarter pounder in Cuba? I think what's going to happen, unfortunately, to the Cubans is that they don't really understand what's about to happen to them. I'm so bummed for them. Yeah. And I think they, from their point of view, they think tourism is good because it's a major source of money. Hell no. And the American companies are going to come in and they're going to be living high on the hog, you know, but in the end... And the Chinese will be right behind them. In the end, what's going to happen is, you know, all the same problems that we have with capitalism here in this country are going to go back there. And I think the current generation of Cubans are at an age where they forget their own history. Absolutely. When Batista, you know, was in power and the whole... The mafia. The mafia ran the whole island. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jagger and saying, wow, this fucking dude's balls are fucking low as a motherfucker. I know. I mean, to be fair, okay, we backtracked. Can you imagine Cubans looking at Keith Richards? I know. Why is Abuelito on stage? Great grandfather. Yeah, exactly. But yeah, the backtrack from that. So the Rolling Stones played. Mind you, they played China about a year or two ago. I'm so sick of the Rolling Stones. So, but slightly more important than that, this is the first time in over 80 years that a sitting U.S. president has stepped foot in Cuba. Right. And this is what's interesting. Okay. Now, granted, I'm not going to get on a soapbox and bore everybody here. But, you know, I am not a Cuba hater. I am not a Fidel Castro hater. If, you know, Chester and I were talking about this yesterday. If you really pay attention to all the, Chester, chime in here. All the fucking. And voices against Fidel Castro are wealthy Cuban families that had to leave that island because, you know, Fidel Castro took all their shit. Right, Chester? Yeah. When the revolution took over. We're taking your fucking businesses. All the rich Cubans in Havana and throughout Cuba had to give up their wealth and their money because Fidel instituted. And now they're going to. Nationalization of all the organizations. And the reason for that is because. Because Fidel wanted to give Cuba back to the Cubans. At least have Cubans own those organizations and those businesses on the island where most of those businesses were owned by U.S. companies and foreign interests. And guess what? It's full circle. Full circle. Starbucks is coming down, baby. Hey, now let me ask you this, Chester. I know that you're romantically involved with the wonderful young lady here and blah, blah, blah, blah. Did she go to Cuba with you? She did. She did. So you didn't get to indulge in the extracurricular adult activities? No, no. I stayed away from that. You don't know the price ranges? Because I'm sure they're about to go up now. The price is about to go up. That's for sure. All right. Let's move it along here. This is another thing that's been roaming around in the news there. You know, I talked about this a little bit last week, Lost Johnny. ACDC. Ah, yes. You know, the whole. Hey, Chester, why don't you cue that song there? We're going to play some. Salute Brian Johnson. I know, man. 30 years. Malcolm Young. 30 fucking years. 30 years. Now, it was announced that secretly. It hasn't been announced officially, but that Axl Rose has been chosen to be the replacement for Brian Johnson for these remaining tour dates. Now, it's. Fucking crime. That in itself, I find extremely disturbing. Now, you're an avid ACDC fan. I am. Right. Do you find it not only disturbing? But Angus, what will you do for money? You know. Where's the loyalty? Yeah. I mean, again, if the tour was already booked, that's business. And that's literally millions of dollars at stake. That's the only way they're out of that sort of thing. But at the end, dude, Axl Rose can't even do Guns N' Roses gigs. Dude, can you imagine a two hour fucking wait for an ACDC show? Dude, they don't pull. Who knows? Who knows? The ACDC has a wide range of fans. But could you imagine the older fan base ain't going to be able to hang this guy's antics? Two, three hour rock star bullshit? No. No. If they were smart, they probably have it in writing. Like, look, don't fuck around. We're on stage at 10 o'clock. We're off stage at 1220. That's it. Those are the two and a half hours that you are obligated to us. You show up. You do the set. You get paid. Goodbye. Right. Right. For me, I find it disturbing. And again, as it was mentioned, Brian Johnson. Had to leave the tour because of health issues regarding his hearing. But he didn't leave the band. Officially, no. No. Nor has he been fired. Well, what was interesting, as I mentioned last week, you know, they fucking haven't communicated anything with him. They just sent his bags and, you know, no communication whatsoever. He actually went on record saying he felt shafted. Yeah. My whole thing is, what other artists, as I mentioned last week, I keep repeating myself. 30 years. Over 30 years. Stepping in there. Now. Terrible. My lovely SS She-Wolf was, we and I were talking about Malcolm Young. You mentioned that Malcolm Young was just thrown into a home. Really? What are you, mute? Well, he is suffering from dementia. Yeah. That is not. You need help for that shit. But dude, don't you think he'd be able to have like a staff at his house? Throwing him in a fucking hospital too? I mean. I mean, as someone who has family who's dealt with that. Um, it's, that's, that doesn't, that's not how it works. It's just funny to see this machine just rolling. And, uh, apparently the question is what will you do for money? Apparently anything. Yeah. Right. I mean, if they had self-respect for the legacy and Brian Johnson, they would just said, fuck it. We're done. Do the right thing. Chester, put up the image of Angus up there, man. No, you know, let me address Angus up here real quick. Like, Hey, you know, think of the fans. I understand that it's your legacy. Respect the legacy. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there are so many fucking, look, look at, by the way, that's fucking frightening. Thank God I don't smoke no more. You know, last night I was at Abbott's, right? And I was hanging out, uh, apparently in the smoking area because I didn't know it was a smoking area. It's just a bunch of fuckers smoking there. Right. Dude, I can't hang out in the smoking area no more. Fucking. Welcome to my world. I used to love to smoke cigarettes. I can't even, I was coughing like a fucking old man, dude. I hate cigarettes. Oh, anyways. But, uh, you bring up the, the Abbott's show. Something funny happened. Oh, let me just address this real quick to Angus. Angus, do the right fucking thing. Do the right thing. Okay. I know it's a business. I know you got commitments. Axl Rose, really? All right. Let's move it along. Last night I went to go see Abbott's. I'm sure most of you here in Los Angeles were at the show. It was an amazing show. I don't need to tell you that. But one of the things that I found very disturbing is watching a grown man crab walk. That reminded me something. I was really disturbed by that. It reminded me somewhat of, uh, kind of like when I was a child. And they took me to go see The Exorcist. And you shit your pants? Dude, it was disturbing. And, you know, to watch Abbott fall off the stage. Wow. Normally I would be laughing hysterically at that. But I was actually shocked. I was like. This is sad. It's sad. It was sad. But I must say he did pull it off. As long as he looked cool. He did look cool. Now this is interesting too. I'm not familiar with this band. Thank God, by the way. Hey, Chester. Why? Why don't you play that fucking puddle of mud shit? Oh my God. Okay. Listen to this music, Lost Johnny. Listen to this, right? I can't believe people. Do I have to? I can't believe people actually fucking pay for this shit. Apparently this band has a draw. They were big for a minute. Right? Literally. Yeah. Apparently this band was popular and what have you. But, um. Oh my God. I just slipped my wrist. This is horrible. Unfortunately, or fortunately, people pay to see this band. And they got to see it. They got to witness the band literally leave the singer on stage. Apparently this guy's a fucking dick. Wow. Did you hear about that? I've heard about it. All right. I can't take that. Take it off, please. Turn it off, please. Turn it off, dude. Please. You're killing me. It hurts. It hurts. Listen, if you're paying to go see, if you're paying in admittance fee to go see a band called Puddle of Mud, there's something wrong with you. You're already fired. Get psychological help. Go, uh, go. Quick story. A friend of mine used to live behind the guitar player. And while they were writing, he was like, I'm going to go see a band called Puddle of Mud. And he was writing some record that eventually became a hit. He had to hear a certain, that song. Over and over? Over. Like for hours. It was like, oh, I fucked it up. And they would overhear themselves or, you know, talk really loud. It was like, this is the one with magic, dude. This is the one with magic. And they would play that same shitty riff for 12 hours straight, dude. And he's like, I just wanted to kill myself. Puddle of Mud is so disturbing. It's almost as disturbing as Abath is Crab Walk. You know, it's even more disturbing. I realized last night that I can no longer check out death or black metal chicks at shows. They, dude, they all wear this. Elaborate, counselor. Listen, I don't know how I got away with it before, but I used to find chick, black metal, death metal chicks attractive with their whole attire. I have to agree. But you know what? Now? Not so much. No, it's completely not feminine. And what's even more interesting is like they really go out of their way to be fucking dudes. Yeah. Yeah. With the combat boots and the whole fucking thing. I don't, I don't mind the, the aesthetic. I mean, they still treat it, keep it relatively feminine. But I have to agree when like, you know, their arms slapping you, calling you bro. I'm like, I don't think so. I have a beard. You're not a bro. There's really nothing hot about seeing a chick covered with fucking patches and a fucking pentagram necklace and earrings. I don't know. It's just, I kind of lost my, uh. I know. That's probably, I think I can speak with for the both of us. It's an age thing. All right. Like when we were, when we were both younger, that would have been this shit. But you know, not so much. Right. Now this is interesting. Chester, we have a video. Uh, did you hear about the cops in New York when they blasted that dog? Can we play that video, Chester? Watch this. They killed a dog. Watch this. Watch this fucking video. Look at that. Look at that. Look at the puppy. Ah. Dude, they blasted the puppy. Motherfuckers. They blasted the fucking puppy. Now what it doesn't show in the video, I thought we had the, uh, look, look at that. Look at that. Look at that. A Glock to the fucking, a puppy, dude. A fucking puppy. Just shot him dead. The puppy was just scared. Like, who the fuck are you? Now, what they don't show, or maybe they do show in this video, is the Puerto Rican chicks that come out after. One of them was wearing some fucking killer panties and shit. Look at that. Look at the panties on that chick. Oh, wow. Now, as you know, Puerto Rican chicks got a big fucking mouth. So you know that cop heard a fucking mouthful. Yeah. But come on, dude. Really? You're blasting a puppy. Give me a fucking break. That's just as bad as fucking the whole Ted Cruz thing. And the Donald Trump thing. That's fucked up. Fuck the goddamn. Hey, isn't that disturbing? Super disturbing. It's disturbing, man. What a shock. Police are dicks. And they shoot before they ask questions. Now, what's even more disturbing is, is Donald Trump doesn't realize, hey, Chester, why don't you put up that fucking striper fucking Ted Cruz picture? Oh, man. You don't want to fuck with Ted Cruz because it's the yellow and black attack, dude. Look at that. Wow. Look at that. Look at that. Look at. What's Chester doing? To hell with Texas. Oh, wait. What? No. To hell with the devil. All right. Speaking of striper, we played a song. To my surprise. Look at that. Jesus. That's him, man. That's him, right? And that's his sister to the right. Oh, my God. We heard striper. Oh, disturbing. Soldiers under the command of God. Oh, man. Look at our guests. They're like, what the fuck? What kind of show is this? I think they're leaving. Yeah, right. Don't leave, guys. It's just one song. After that, we heard an intro. Left hand. Path. Left hand. From Artscope. From the record Apocalyptic Triumfator. After that, we heard Nuns, Cunts, and Darkness. Whoa. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, man. Happy Easter. After that, we heard Absu. From their self-titled record, Earth Ripper. And, of course, as you mentioned before, bottom of the set, the Rolling Stones from the classic Some Girls, When the Whip Comes Down. Viva Fidel. All right. Now, we're going to be giving away a pair of tickets. This is interesting. Look at this. This is April 1st. Power. Power from hell. From Brazil. It's coming to Los Angeles. They're going to be playing with Old Coven, Horrid, and Witch Haven. That's going on at the Complex. Giving away a pair of tickets for that. Chester, what is the number to call? 1-800-893-9562. That's right. When I tell you to call that number, not my fucking cell. Don't text me. When I tell you to call that number, we're going to give you a pair of tickets for that. And also, a pair of tickets for Absu. This is going on April 3rd. Absu's playing with Miklan Tekultli. Fuck, that's rough. Volan, Harasser, and Conjurer. That's also going on at the Complex. So, when I give you the specific instructions to call to win those pairs of tickets, call Chester and tell him he's a fucking asshole. What's the number again, Chester? 1-800-893-9562. All right. Today, we got a great show. This is interesting. Los Angeles has been a mecca for true, real underground. Ahead of its time, innovative music of different genres. Since day one. But we've also been plagued with an oversaturated amount of non... Let me repeat that. Non-creative music. And it's become so destructive that a lot of the venues have been eroding. Okay? As you know, a lot of... Yeah, there's been... They've come and gone. And let me tell you, when that cleansing happens, it's not going to be a good thing. Okay? It happens. In order to destroy... In order to fucking grow, you must destroy. You've heard that saying? Absolutely. I probably butchered the fuck out of that. The point is, is... You know what? Everyone's crying about all these overpriced, highly fucking, totally fucking rip-off venues, where they fucking charge you like $12 for a beer. Viper room. $40 to fucking walk in the door. You got to pay another $20 to park. There's a bunch of fucking assholes walking around everywhere. I mean, it's just a fucking nightmare. Well, here's the... Here's the contrast to Perez Tires, is that I went to go see Weed Eater, Today's the Day, and Author and Punisher. Great show. At the Viper Room. So, like I was saying, I go in there and the girl's like, Hey, this band called Today's the Day is going on. You might want to watch it. They're kind of loud. I'm like, get the fuck out of my face. You just totally groaned, man. It's going to be too loud. Do you really want to be careful? Was she wearing a puddle mud... Bottle shirt or whatever the fuck? You know, pretty close. All right. Well, here's the deal. We're going to... Here's the deal. Perez Tires is a DIY underground venue that's been sponsoring some amazing shows, giving a haven for underground artists to come out and do their thing. And guess what? It gets a fucking Watermelon Frank seal of approval. Wow. It's got to be DIY. It's got to be underground. Propusa approved. We have Anthony... I'm going to butcher your last name there, sir. Please excuse me. Anthony... Anthony Grosset. Did I pronounce that properly? All right. And his son, Michael, who plays in a band called Spit On Your Grave. Who I've seen, by the way. An amazing band. Amazing up and coming band in Los Angeles. This is what I like about these type of bands. Not only are they aggressive, they're raw, they're hungry. They're hungry. They're always playing. They're not doing any of these shenanigans or these fucking, you know, like other bands that they're crying about. No, they're the real deal. And I... The real deal. They get up. They're not bitching fucking for sound checks. They're not doing none of that shit. So... I'm just thankful they're in tune. Kidding, guys. No, I've seen some shows down there. And I will tell you first, Counsel, that is the real deal place to see a show. No bullshit. No jive. Everyone's there having a good time. Everyone's pretty self-policing. And it's a fucking positive experience to go to a show down there. The way it should be. The way it should be. The bathrooms kind of suck. But aside from that, all good. No air freshener? No. You mad, Frank? Going in the restroom after Frank? Oh, boy. All right. I'd rather not. We're going to dedicate this show to Gary Shandling, who passed away. Chester, you got an image of Gary up there? Gary Shandling passed away tragically of a heart attack. So bummed. So bummed. Huge fan of Larry Sanders. Larry Sanders, the guy was ahead of his time. Another comedic genius. He sadly passed away. Out of all the motherfuckers that should die. Shandling. Fuck. So we're going to dedicate the show to him. All right. Let's get the show started. You're listening to the very manic Jimmy Cab show. Chester, hit it. Whoever is bitten by a werewolf and lives becomes a werewolf himself. Oh, don't hand me that. You're just wasting your time. The wolf bit you, didn't he? Yeah. Yeah, he did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In thy name, let us behold the Father, the Lamb of God, the Lamb of the Son, the Moon, the stars. Hail, O Deathless One. Who calls me from out of the pit? We, thy children. What is thy purpose? The deliverance of the soul. Has it been prepared? It has. Then I command this soul to be purified by fire and water. A aberration of aberration, We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. And now, here with an unlimited supply of misinformation, is Mr. Noto. All right. Chester, what is the number to call for the free tickets? 1-800-893-9562. All right, we're getting away a pair of tickets right now for Power From Hell. This is going on April 1st. Power From Hell from Brazil with local heavy hitters Old Coven, Horrid, and Witch Haven. Call Chester right now. Tell him to fuck off at... What's the number? What's the number again? 1-800-893-9562. And you get yourself a free pair of tickets, courtesy of Church of the Eighth Day. Lost Johnny, what did we hear? Well, I was glad you mentioned the bands beforehand. We just heard Power From Hell at the top of the set, howling at the blood move from their record, Devil's Whorehouse. After that, we heard Old Coven with their song, Devilish Moonlight Parades. After that, we heard Valkyria, the cremating fire from their record, The Antagonist Fire. And we heard our own local bad boys. And we heard their band, Ritual Combat, from their record, Lost Chaos, the song Terror Worship. And I'm going to try and pronounce this as best as I can. Good luck. And the name of the band is called Volhon. The name of the record is called Ag Bu Al. The name of the song is Ha Lihi Ka Ohoba. Where is Adrian Mejia when you need him? I hope I didn't fuck it up. I'm sorry if I did. But, you know, LA Unified. LA Unified. All right. You know, one of the things... One of the things that I always rant and rave about is being an avid music lover and fan. For over 30 years, I've been going to shows. And I've seen a lot of good things and I've seen a lot of bad things. Lately, I'd say within the last 10 years. Lost Johnny, you've accompanied me. Yeah. Very many shows. I've been going to shows almost as long as you have. You hear me ranting and raving and bitching about the fucking venues that we've gone to, especially the ones in West Hollywood, which I'm glad to see are becoming eradicated. They're becoming fewer and far, far between. Good riddance. Again, why did I go to the Viper Room? Fuck those corporate places. Ugh. Right? Fuck those corporate places. But, yeah, but, you know, coming in to where we are now with our guests, again, it's bringing back... Let me rephrase that. It's continuing the DIY spirit that's been a part of underground music here in Los Angeles for, again, as long as you and I have been coming to shows. 30 plus years. So, I mean, it's good to have that element of... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Excitement. A little bit of danger. And, again, genuine... Having a genuine, sincere place for this music to fucking happen, man. All right. My guests today are Anthony Grosset, a.k.a. Pops. Yes. And his handsome son, Michael and Carlos of Spit On Your Grave. Spit On Your Grave is a local band here from South L.A. that really... I get so many fucking bands that send me their music and it's... It's a lot of fun. It's always great and refreshing to hear some really aggressive, real, dangerous, raw shit from young men. Young men who are not replicating or duplicating shit that's been done. Right. So, welcome to the very manic. This is interesting. Father and son. It's a family thing, man. Yeah, it is. Let me ask you, Pops or Anthony. Yeah. I don't know how you want to be referred, but let me ask you this. You have a DIY venue called Paris Tire. That's true. How long have you... How long have you had this establishment? Going on two years. Two years. Why do you want to do that? Why do you want to have a bunch of crazy kids playing a bunch of crazy music on your weekend? You don't like cable TV? You don't like being at home? I think it's more of a hobby, you know? And I really enjoy to be truthful. I really enjoy having a spot where the younger generation can thrive on that music. Because when I was growing up, there wasn't that many places for us to go and get away. Are we similar age? I'm 50. Okay, yeah. I'm around there. Okay, so did you frequent the Olympic and Fenders and all that? No, I frequented a lot of jails. Oh, okay. So you're telling me you would go see Tierra and Malo? Yeah. It's different music, the same shit, right? Lincoln Park, huh? But now I kind of think that... The real Lincoln Park. We have a little bit of sanity in our chaos. Absolutely. You know, we're able to give this venue and its spot for touring bands. Local bands to collide and give off this incredible show. We enjoy putting together bands with really huge names with smaller bands that have less chance to play with something like that. Absolutely. And I throw them on the bill and I say, sink or swim. Go. Where did all this originate from? How did you get involved with this? I mean, you mentioned, you know, you used to... Yeah, and I used to listen to punk rock in the early, late 70s, early 80s. Where the money came in. Yeah, and then, you know, like, nobody would ride in my car when I was young because they didn't like my music. And I told them, get the fuck out. You don't have to be in my car, you know? But nowadays, it's, you know, my son's bands, the punk rock bands, and the more I see the struggle. Oh, without a doubt. It's a struggle to even have a place for them to play without... We're not paying to play. I'm sorry. I don't know. Let me stop. I'll stop you right there. Yes, fucking hell. Fuck pay to play. If you're paying to play, with all due respect, you're a fucking idiot. Yep. Fuck that bullshit. Strings, heads, cabs, everything costs money and these kids pay for it out of their pockets. So the last thing they need to do is pay to play anywhere. Is that how you got involved? Obviously, your son got into the music and since you... First of all, let me commend you for being a good parent. Apparently, nowadays, that's... Oddity. Right. I think that's wonderful. I'm going to get a little mature here. I don't have children, but I have a nephew who's a fucking crazy fucker and I'm sure I'll be involved with him when he gets older. I think it's incredible and I think it's positive and great that you're not only bonding with your son, but you are involved with your son in this subculture, in this music, and you not only are helping your son, mentoring him and being a positive role model and being involved, but you're providing an environment for... I'm sorry, young man. I don't want to refer you as a child. You're providing a young man for the youth. Right. Because, listen, I bitch and moan here all the time how kids are fucking dicks. Yes. They bump... I go to shows all the time, dude, and I hate being bumped into. I mean, I'm a fragile guy, dude. Where's my check? He's not just fragile emotionally. Except in the bedroom. He's fragile physically. In the bedroom, it's a different story. Somebody get Jimmy a tissue, please. Yeah, but the point is... Or a walker. Or a walker. Or a walker. Or a walker. Or a walker. Or a walker. Or a walker. It's really refreshing because when I was growing up, my dad thought I was a fucking idiot. Yeah. How cool is it that your dad's into what you're doing and he pops from Paris Tires? How cool is that? Gives you a place to play? Jesus. Or are you like... It's pretty fucking rad. Is it? Or are you like, fucking dad, what's he doing? I grow up. What's going on? Are you cool? Are you happy with that? No, I'm completely cool with it. There's no embarrassment whatsoever. Let's get you around the mic there. It's actually... I don't... I guess it would be surreal. It's just... It's cool to have a family support structure actually following behind you and actually being okay with what you're doing, you know? Yeah, man. I mean, it's... Listen, here's the deal about this subculture or the genre of music or whatever. There's this... For the last, I'd say, 40 years, there's been this misinterpretation that the kids or the fan base that support this, that bring with this, are mental patients. Oh. That they're fucking all on drugs. They're social misfits. They're fucking out of their mind. Let me tell you. Before the internet, before big corporations, it was individuals like myself and others that we organized fanzines. We had a network before the internet. Right. You know? There wasn't big promotion companies. And like yourself, the day and age was we were ahead of that time. Now, when I go to shows or when someone buys a ticket and they tell me how much they're paying to go see Slayer or whatever, I'm like, oh my God. I wish I had Jewish parents. I'd be a millionaire right now. Right. Yeah. You know what I mean? I wasn't thinking the bigger picture. But I didn't have that support from my family. Right. I had to get the fucking Catholic blessing every time I came home, thinking I was possessed by the devil. The LAPD back then were the real LAPD. So, instead of getting beat up by the cops, I get beat up by dudes wearing makeup, dude. Looking like chicks. Yeah. And there was no pussy back then. No chicks. So, let me ask you this. So, wait. You got beat up by Ted Cruz when he was in Striper? Yeah. Let me ask you this, Michael. That's sad. We'll talk about your band because this is what I like about what's going on. Not only are you involved with your father and you have a great scene going on, but actually your band's really good. But let me ask you this. How do you like having chicks going to these shows now? Do you? I mean, I don't know if you're married. There weren't chicks when I was going to shows. There's a lot of hot chicks that are going to these shows now. I go there, dude. I'm such an angry old man now. I look at these guys and I'm like, motherfuckers. Why aren't you sitting in my place? Are you able to pick up with your dad right there? What's going on with that? It's pretty cool. I mean, yeah. I mean, as far as I've been playing, as long as I've been playing, I've been playing punk and hardcore bands since I was 14. And I mean, there was actually at that point already a growing female community coming within the scene. So, I mean, for me, it's really nothing new. I mean, it's always been there for me. Let me ask you this, Pops. When you started with Parrish Tires, what was the goal? Was it just to provide a haven for your son and his friends? No, actually, we started Parrish Tires because we had recently moved into the neighborhood. Yeah, you live in the neighborhood. I live four blocks away. You're out of your fucking mind. And we moved into the neighborhood. We love the scene. We love, you know, and we were trying to book shows. So, you had, I'm not even going to mention them. But we had options. Drop the names. Fuck them, man. Five Star Bar, Redwood Bar. And you're having to go over there. Elitist. You're about ready to have to suck their dick in order to get a fucking show there. And I wasn't about to do that. So, the basic issue was that we actually, I went and talked to the owner. And I asked him, I says, hey, what do you think about, you know, actually, you know, making this into a real venue and start putting some stuff out and getting bands in there? And he says, Pops, all I can tell you is I just want everybody to know who Perez Tire is. And so, that was the bottom line. I mean, we've been pushing that, we've been pushing that ideal further and further each time. As you guys, I can't even mention some stuff that's going to be happening very soon, Jimmy. Why can't you mention it? Because I have to sign a confidentiality agreement. What happened? Even the DIYC is getting contaminated. Cuba's getting fucking contaminated now, Perez Tire. You're going to be serving fucking Java at fucking Perez Tire soon, too? You know what? Some nights I wished. No, it's just about. I wish, too, because I drink coffee, though. It's about, you know, bringing a light to our place. And, I mean, the difficulty is that most people, when they hear about Perez Tire, one, they're saying, oh, my God, it's in South Central Los Angeles. And the other is, oh, my God, people get killed down there. And I say, well, you know. People get killed everywhere. People get killed everywhere. L.A. is a very violent city. I'm going to tell you something right now. I've had the most respecting people that live in that neighborhood. They're so respectful. They're so kind. And they're not afraid to say hello. You know, we moved from West L.A. to here. And West L.A., you'd say hi to somebody walking down the street. They would just walk right by you. Wouldn't say anything. These people will stop and say hello to you and talk to you and then maybe say hello to Molly's or whatever. You know, it's a totally different, more of a family setting. This is why I think Perez Tire is very important and it's the example of what needs to be. And I'm being sincere and honest with you. You're in a real world environment. Your neighborhood is real world. It is very real world. What I mean is, let me break it down more because I tend to speak like an idiot at times. Communities like where you're from and where I'm from are middle to lower class neighborhoods. And they tend to get the shaft. You know, the only time that they get the attention is when something tragic happens or when politicians come around to get the votes. Okay. Education wise, law enforcement wise. And now, especially like around your area, Huntington Park, even geologically with the radiation that's going on there, the pollution and all that. There are other regions of Los Angeles and this goes throughout the whole United States. And this is why it brews this environment with your sons involved and the youth. It causes a rebellion. It causes us. And it fuels this subversion, but in a positive way. And to have a positive environment where you're providing this environment. And to have a positive environment for the youth or bands. I mean, you know, it's not a political movement, but in a way it is. The youth art movement. Because what happens there spreads. And what spreads is positivity. It is. These kids, I'm sure not all of them are fucking insane, but there's a group of them that probably are. And when they go to your establishment, guess what? They know to behave because they want to return. Right, they do. But let me ask you this. There's a bunch of dicks that don't have that mentality because their parents are a bunch of fucking assholes. They're a bunch of fucking assholes. What do you do with that? Do you talk to them? Because you seem to have a very respected demeanor amongst this community. That's the whole issue. Do you tell them, like, hey, don't fuck up my bathroom? Don't put your shit in the corner? I tell them. Don't steal my son's guitar? Treat this place with respect as you treat your own home. And I'm going to tell you something right now. Some of these kids don't respect their home either. They respect my spot. Good for you. They respect my spot. Because, you know, I don't have, I'm not asking anything from them only just to respect themselves and me. You know, just treat yourself with dignity and respect. I'm not asking anything from them. I'm not asking anything from them. I'm asking for the world. Now, let me ask you this. Are you making any money there? Are you making any money? We don't. We don't make money. We pay the bills. We pay the bills. And, you know, maybe my son makes enough money to, because he does the sound. And I do the door. And maybe we make enough money to. Cover expenses? Cover expenses. You know, microphones. Maybe. Because they break a lot. They break a lot of microphones in this thing. And cords. But in a positive way. In a positive way. It's good. You know what I mean? Totally fine with that. It's not being broken over somebody's head. Right. No. No, no, no. Drop it. Do you think the support that you have, because this is what's interesting. I've talked to numerous other promoters in the underground scene. They've been dealing with this plague, this fucking problem where lack of venues. And if they are fortunate to get a venue, the crowd that comes in for these extreme shows, they don't respect the place. They sneak in alcohol. We let the alcohol in. They cause vandalism. There's no respect. And so these places get burned. Right. But with your location, you seem to have. You seem to have a very positive report with these kids. And a reputation. I want them to have fun. When I was a kid, I wanted to have fun. You know? And the bottom line is the respect that they have for me is the fact that they want to continue to have fun. So they come in. They have a great time. And I mean, this is coming from people just come right up and hug me and say, thank you so much. This is incredible to be able to have this kind of spot. You have some of those young girls hug you too? Yes. Is your wife right there behind you? Oh, yeah. My wife knows. We have a couple of stories I'll tell you off radio. But it's funny. Is your wife going, hey, hey, hey. No, she's laughing. Calm down there, pops. She's laughing. Yeah, I know. She's laughing. My wife's a wonderful woman. She will be right there selling merch for the kids. Nice. She's really incredible. This is great. She backs us up like 110%. And I mean, she reposts all your stuff and all my stuff. She reposts my stuff? Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. She's really good. You want to apologize for that? You know I need therapy, right? Yeah. Now, let's discuss Mike and Carlos' spin on your grave. First of all, did you name your man after the movie? Did your dad lend you an old fucking VHS cassette or what? Actually, yes. The singer, the original singer actually. Going through dad's movies. He actually has a huge problem with law enforcement. What kind of a problem? He just fucking hates cops. He hates what's fucking going on. He hates what's going on with the fucking, the community right now. He hates that fucking, that they're fucking prying into people's business. And he loves the fact that people are getting away filming them. So. Oh, yeah. You know what? If I had this 20 years ago, I'd be fucking. Listen, you lived in West LA. If I had this 20 years, I'd be living there and I would not move to South LA. But anyways. I'd have a condo there. As a fellow cop hater and a feminist, he actually started the band as a fucking anti-rape cop hating fucking band. And what better way? I didn't portray it then after the film. Oh, wow. Now. That's where the name came from. Do you still follow those beliefs? Yes, of course. Do you, since you are in a subversive environment, in a real world environment, do the cops know who you are? No. Okay. That's good. Yeah. All right. That's good. Let me ask you this. When you're playing at your establishment, because I've been, I think I've been to your place twice. And one of the things that I liked and I didn't like. I like that you let the kids do what they fucking want. I didn't like that you let the kids do what they fucking want because I got a lower fucking back fucking, you know what I mean? Motherfuckers are trying to jump off my shoulder blades, you know. But when you're playing at your spot, do you lose yourself and just become a musician? Or are you like, oh, fuck, they're going to fuck up my fucking mixing board because, you know, it's your place, man. Yeah. No, I totally understand. You feel what I'm saying? I always lose myself no matter where I'm at or what I'm doing. I mean, I mean. When I'm in the zone and I'm playing music or I'm playing guitar, I mean, everything just disappears, you know. We go into our own realm. Two years you guys have been in existence, right? It's been in your career. By the way, it's okay to mention that you're now playing in nausea? Yes. Yeah. Wow. Hey. Nice. Fucking hey, man. Yeah. So do you actually have conversations with Oscar or does he just kind of mumble to you too? No, we have conversations. Just kidding. I love Oscar. It's a very, very cool conversation. How long have you been playing in nausea now? We've been. We've been rehearsing for about a month. A month now. First show with them is actually going to be April 23rd. Oh, wow. And it's just, it's just coincidence. Double duty, huh? Exactly. It was coincidence. Spit on your grave acts to be as direct support on that bill. And I wasn't allowed to say, oh, I'm already playing that show, so why not? But we agreed to play it. And then at that point, Oscar was still dwindling with Eric and Cosmo. And. The. Second. Second rehearsal in there just decided, OK, this. This is it. You know, this. I think. Feeling. I mean, this is a good click. Let's run with it. I think you're a perfect person for that band because that band has been DIY in underground and let me mention this to independent doing their thing for a long time. And it goes perfectly with what you're doing. You know, it's like old generation or maybe I don't know when I sound disrespectful, but mature generation, the young generation coming together with the same mentality. Same mentality. You know what I mean? The same energy, the same whole thing. Spit on your grave to two years. You guys have been in existence. You guys. You guys play a lot, man. Is he guys busy guys? You guys play a lot. We're going to mention some of the dates that you're playing. So let me ask you this. Why do you play a lot? Is it because you just like playing live? Because there's a lot of bands that are from Los Angeles that has that piss and moan about the shows. Right. You know, you know what I'm talking about? Of course. You know what I'm talking about? There's a lot of bands out there that feel like they're playing live. You know what I'm talking about? They feel like if they play too much, they're going to burn themselves out. But the problem is a lot of bands that think they're too good to play a lot too. Exactly. But the problem is, is there's still a lot of fucking people that don't know who they are and our point of playing. But they act like they're fucking rock stars. Exactly. And our point is just, we're going to play as much as possible. Do you have dressing rooms there for us, Ty? And fucking get our... Do you have some of these bands asking for dressing rooms? No. What was that? No, we have no green room. Where's the green room, right? No, no. It's called the gas station. It's across the street. There you go. There you go. Knock yourself out. Yeah, I know. Where's our writer fucking here? Here's the fucking talk head. Right, man. Oh, you can always go across the street to a vaquero. We're going to play some music. Don't worry, Carlos. We're going to talk to you too, man. I notice you're very well, very well fitnessed out. I got to ask you some questions. I'm getting fatter now that I'm in a relationship. All right. Let's play a track of... This is an EP that you put out last year, correct? Yes. Self-titled. You're going to be... You're actually in the process of releasing the full length, correct? Yes. It's going to be a 12-track full length. We're going to be hitting studio in June with Nick from Deadbeat. Now, let me ask you this, because you seem to be very positive, obviously due to good parenting. You seem to be very mature and you seem to be very hungry. You're playing, you're writing. Have you gone and toured yet? No, not yet. Have you broken your cherry with that yet? Not yet. And that's actually a big reason why we wanted to start booking packages over at Perez is that so that we can start building a network. And we can start building a contact. I mean, we're taking this band and we're thinking big picture shit. And we're trying... The whole reason why we were putting ourselves on bills and starting to book over at Perez was actually so that we can start a base network with people from out of town. And that's so we'd be able to have contacts for when we come into town. You're a very articulate, very smart young man. Why would you want to hit the road? That's a very rough life. Why not go to school, get a degree? Why play a safe counselor? Fuck that. Yeah. You have the opportunity to do it. Do it. I want to hear him say it because not only that, but your dad supports you, which is great. But why do that? The road is ugly, dude. No, I... What is it about it that you like? I really just want to see the world. I haven't actually traveled yet. And what better way to do it than doing what I love? You know? Great answer. I'm with the perfect guys in my band and I couldn't picture doing it with anybody else. How cool is it to have your dad backing you up, man? It's pretty awesome. And not telling you like, hey, go, go, go. What are you doing? I'm pushing him. I know. Yeah. It's pretty awesome. All right. We'll be talking more about what's coming up with Spit On Your Grave. We'll be talking more about Press Tire. But let's play some Spit On Your Grave. Chester, real quick. What is the number for the Power From Hell tickets that we're giving away? It's 1-800-893-9562. Anybody watching live, the phone number is on the screen. Just dial that number. Yeah. Free tickets. And when you call, make sure you tell Chester he's a fucking asshole. All right. Chester. Thanks. Keeping an eye on the government is critical to keeping the government in its place. But while government loves keeping an eye on us, it hates it when we keep an eye on it. And it's been easier to do so. It makes it more dangerous. More and more citizens are recording their interactions with the police using simple and perfectly legal devices like their cell phones. And the cops don't like that one bit, increasingly resisting the tapings with force and even jail time. . . . . . . . comes from you We're through living in fear of you Protect the lives of just your own Watch it, our patience on the ground You aberration of the hell, the aberration of just aberration of You aberration, aberration, aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration aberration Never, no one will you control me Someone, someone needs to take me So I live hard to do my job Thinking you're living on what we don't know Think back and back to when those afraid I'd rather jump out of seats in the game Never, no one will you control me Someone, someone needs to take me Never, no one will you control me Someone, someone needs to take me I'm a demon, I can't take this too hard Silence, you are not the popular You're a pill, so you are not yourself Wake up, this is all because of you All the answers, cut out the sweat They'll remember, we're here this time And the beginning, just make for it I'm just a pill, to know what it is All right, that was Spit on Your Grave. Johnny, what did we hear? We started the set with American Filth, and then after that we heard Dead Behind the Eyes. No, no, no, no, no. We just played one song, that was it. Dude, don't. Fuck. It's all right. You made me feel like a dick. No, it's all right. The song we're going to play afterwards is called Dead Behind the Eyes. There you go. I just loved my soul. I was telling Pops during the break here that it kind of seems that what you're doing is on, like, underground. Youth mentoring kind of thing. It falls under that category. Did you do that for that purpose? A lot of it has to do with that, because a lot of the bands, you could ask any of them, that they come to me, they talk to me about their problems. I get hit up quite a bit about it. Do you enjoy talking to the youth? Because I do. I do. Yeah, I do. I have the youth come up to me all the time, and I'm like, get the fuck away from me, man. Leave me alone. It's not about that. It's about trying to make the decisions. I'm fucking 45 years old. Do I look like I got it together? I'm wearing GVH shirts. Leave me alone. You got it? Yeah. Do you enjoy not only interacting with the youth, and this is a serious question, but being able to steer them in the right direction? I do. I do. That's one of my mainstays. I've been doing that for a long time. I'm 27 years cleaning silver, so I just... Jesus, I'm sorry. I'm over-dreaming for you. It doesn't matter. My son's seven years. Is there any way you could talk to Morris Castro about silver right now? Amongst others. Amongst others? 27 years. Does that have to do a lot with the whole reason why you decided to do Paris Tire and being involved? Because there is, regardless of whether we want to admit it or not, there is a lot of rampant alcohol and drug abuse amongst the youth. Let me elaborate a little bit. Individuals like... You know, Lemmy passed away, I think, a couple months ago. I could be wrong. Weeks or whatever. The point is... Three months ago. You know, he never advertised. He never gloated about his substance abuse. His attitude was like, hey, this is what I fucking do. I don't give a fuck. He never said, hey, go get Jack Daniels. But there are all these young kids that think that it's cool to fucking drink Jack Daniels and get all fucked up. By the time they hit 30, their fucking lungs are going into... Their liver's going into cirrhosis and their lungs are all full of cancer. Do you see that rampant? And do you also undercover step in there and talk to the youth about, hey, maybe you should sober up a little bit? A lot. Let me tell you my stories. A lot. A lot. And a lot of them, a lot of it's an odd... aspect of this is that I don't ever have to reach out. They reach out to me. Which is the best thing because when you're talking to someone, they're not listening. Right, exactly. But when they come to you, they sure do listen. And I think a lot of it has to do because you have a credible reputation. You're not there being the super dad. You're just... Yeah. A dude who's... You're just... Pops. I'm just pops. Oh, man, that's great. It's so great to be... See, providing more than just volume and a place to plug in their amps, man. It's fucking real. It's like a community center. It is. Now, let me ask you this, Mike. Does all this inspire you with the writing of your music? Because your music's very aggressive. It's very socially and politically... It has like social political commentary, but in an undercover way. But does all this... Seeing what your dad's doing and what he's been through and what you see on a real world basis, does all that influence your music? Does that influence spending your great music? Of course. What influences do you have? I hate when I ask an artist this, but the reason why I ask is is because I see a lot of young bands that don't have an identity. You know, they stick with the... I'm a grand core band, and they just stick with that one fucking cornered fucking mentality, and it becomes repetitive, boring, and mundane, which is why a lot of times I don't really pay attention to a lot of young bands, and I'm an old guy, and by the way, I know I get chastised. Watermelon Frank was one of them, that I'm an elitist and all that. It's not that. You don't know what's going on, Cavs. It's just this. I listen to music because I like it. It's not my job, you know? But when I do listen to young bands that have that spark, that fire, the first thing I say to myself is, wow, how did they do that? Because it seems to be that every young musician or band is trying to, or they think they got to follow this road that's been paved before them. Right. How have you avoided that? You know, I just, I listen to all genres of extreme music. You know, I listen to Krust. I listen to Power Violence. I listen to Grind. I listen to Black Metal. And I listen to hardcore. Were you at Abbott's last night? Did you see him fall off the stage? I did not. I did not. No. That was hilarious. I heard all about it, though. I'm sure the memes are coming tomorrow. You're not going to be crab walking when you're in your 40, right? But yeah, I just, I didn't want to be fucking typecasted as that one. Excellent. I'm a solid band, so I wanted to fucking take elements of everything, elements of hardcore, hardcore breakdowns, and mix them with fucking DB Krust riffs, and just fucking, I wanted something that was different. I wanted a fucking product that everyone can enjoy, and where us as a band, we can be put on any fucking bill, and we can play to any fucking, any crowd, and play any type of show, and get a good response. I want something for everybody. You guys made a pretty good observation beforehand about hearing what we just played now, and kind of rolling your eyes like, oh man, this is so long ago, and you were talking about your upcoming full length. I mean, kind of elaborate on that between when you first recorded this and what you are about to unleash now. I can imagine there's a lot of growth. There's definitely a lot of growth. A lot of anger too, right? In a positive way. It's exciting. It's exciting. We're actually very excited to be putting it out, and we're excited for it. We're excited for everybody to hear it, and to hear the growth, because the band has gone in a completely different direction as well. Explain how elaborate. I mean, there's just more. Carlos is changing his caps. He's changing his caps, and he's changing the muscle shirt. Changing the muscle shirt. He's switching from barbells to kettlebells. We're just trying to bring a more technical element to the table. Oh, wow. Hang on a minute. Let me bless myself. That's dangerous, man. Technical. Explain that. I mean, we just have, like, there's pieces where we actually incorporate, like, mid-2000s metalcore with, like, crush punk and DB and a little bit of blast beats, and we undertone it with hardcore. You know why I'm not nervous about that? Because usually when I hear something like that, I'm like, oh, fuck. Kind of reminds me, like, you know, Tony, you remember the days when you would meet a chick and you see her go down on here and she has a little tattoo of her prior ex, and you're like, oh, wow. This guy's locked up right now. I'm in trouble. All right. Let me ask you, let me ask you this. Who's Pepe? Yeah, right? Shadow. Anyway, sorry. I got sideline there. Usually when I hear that, I get nervous, but, you know, I don't feel nervous with that because it seems that you guys are very, for your age, again, I'm not putting you down, but you seem very confident and you seem to be, I don't want to use the word. I'll figure it out. Yeah, help me out here. I mean, there's much to be said about ambition and there's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, and it's, and it's, and it's very, it's very rewarding to see someone that's like, hey, I'm going to do this and push it. Push it. Whereas you're doing it genuinely, not as the fad. Do you get what I'm saying? Yeah. Because you, you, come on, regardless of age, we're both music, we're all music lovers. We've seen those bands where you're like, really, dude? Right. You're still doing that? Like, come on. I mean, a good example would be, I mean, the band I'm wearing, Napalm Death. I mean, you would, you can easily pin and hold them into the whole grindcore thing. But they have a pretty wide. Yes. Tones of the discography. You may not like it, but they made it a point to say, hey, we are going to evolve and try new things and utilize other influences. And I'm hearing that with Spit on Your Grave. That's why I'm excited. Now, when you're playing live and recording, those are two different environments. Right. Okay. How are you going to channel that aggression and that raw energy? I asked this question a lot to the artists that I speak to because it's always intriguing for me. How are you going to channel that energy in the studio environment? You know, well, like in a studio, we don't actually go DI. You know, we actually like going through cabinets. There's a lot of fucking bands that go in and they fucking, they'll fucking just run their head DI directly into the fucking, into the fucking computer. And it's just, or a mixing rack. And it's just, it's frustrating. You know, you spend all this money on gear and tube heads. And you want that to be prevalent on the recording. So we'll do two to three tracks and track it, but it'll all be live cabs. You're not sitting there fucking micromanaging the sound and trying to eliminate the human aspect? No, I mean, you like the raw and whether... I love it. I mean, we polish it up as much as we can, but I mean, it's for me, it's always got to be live cabinets. What about you, Carlos? I mean, you're sitting there all nice and comfy there. What do you like about playing in this band? Aside from being a band, aside from being able to show your tattoos and pick it up on chicks? Well, quite frankly... Do your parents support you too or they tell you what the fuck's wrong with you? No, my mom loves that I have a hobby and I'm not running around. Right? Yeah. You're not spray painting some shit? Yeah. I think she'd rather see me hit people playing music than hit people for the sake of fighting, you know? Yeah, right. There you go. But so far as the energy in recording, I think this particular lineup of the band just has such great chemistry. Has there been lineup changes? Yes. Your hands. Yeah, I've noticed that. You know, I'll be real honest with you. And I mentioned this during the promotion of you guys coming in here. For every underground subversion scene, there is an undercurrent because eventually everything rises to the top. It does. And whether you like it or not, and I'm not one of these like, oh, once they get to that level, fuck it. No, I tune out when the music stops appealing to me. But it's that undercurrent, that real old school, rock and roll vibe from the 50s that keeps this whole thing recycling over and over again. You know? What I like about this genre that you belong to, it seems to me like there's this whole, I don't want to compare it to the British Invasion, but there's this whole new group of bands coming out of everywhere, fucking... All over the world. That even I'm unaware of, dude. Like, I'm like... The spur of fucking bands that are just erupting at this moment. What an exciting time for you, man. It's another generation. It's crazy. Yeah, you know, it's a great time. You're right. You're right at that, like, fucking British Invasion type of thing. You're coming in with this whole undercurrent. But how do you keep your identity? Carlos, how do you guys keep your identity? And is that why you lost band members? Or are they just dicks? No, I don't... I just... You know, we just had... It was... There were internal problems that, you know, I mean, things happen and people part ways. I mean, Carlos is actually brought in after Rudy, bass player, our old bass player, Rudy, actually was really involved with his union work. And he was actually a crane operator over at the San Pedro job. Lucky bastard. That's a good job. He's set for life. So, I mean, he was just like... He had priorities and there was some falling outs with the guitarist and the singer. And we brought in Alan and Michael. And at this point, I mean, this is the best the lineup's ever felt. And definitely the strongest. So, for me, this is the spit on your grave. I meant to happen from the start. That didn't happen. But, you know, it has become. Were you, at any point in time, kind of nervous of, you know, because when you lose members, a lot of times you lose the identity. It was nerve-wracking. I mean, I felt like... I felt like I wasn't going to find somebody right, the right fit, you know, but... Would it be safe to say that you're at the forefront of this band? Are you creatively and also... Yes. I don't want to say your band, but... I mean, are you at the forefront of this band? Definitely at the forefront. I mean, the singer, Alan, definitely contributes a ton of the new guitar riffs that are coming out on the LP we're going to be going in for. But at this point now, it's become more of a collective as opposed to before. I was running everything. I was writing everything. I had very little input from anyone, but it's just... It's like a breath of fresh air because now I've got musicians that are actually willing to bring stuff to the table. Yeah, right. Right? It's just... It's not all on your shoulders and shit. Let me ask you this, Pops. You're involved with this venue, Paris Tires. By the way, why don't we give out the address of this place? Is it 1828 East Gage? You don't know the fucking address? 1828 East Gage Avenue. Let me ask you this. You have this venue with your son. Mm-hmm. You're involved with your son, you know, as far as, you know, with the band and stuff, but when do you step back a little bit? When do you... When they leave? Yeah, that's a good question. Is there a day off? Yeah, you don't want to be fucking like, you know, the Jackson 5, you know? Well, like, you know, the thing is that we have, we have, like, if they leave, you know, if they go local, like, most of the stuff that they've done recently, Northern and stuff like that, have been two friends of mine's house, so I would go just to hang out with my friends. But you're not, like, fucking, you know... Nah, I give a fuck, Wes. I really don't care. You're not doing the whole Beach Boys thing? You're not getting involved in there? Not even cool. I don't even think so. All right, good. Yeah. But no, you know, a lot of the stuff is... Your son's like, Beach Boys? Who the fuck's he talking about? I know. He's like, what's a Beach Boy? Who's Ozzy and Harry? I know, right? What are you guys talking about? Yeah, exactly. Right? No, so... Ancient history. It's really kind of an interesting aspect. I am pushing for them to do East Coast. I want them to go run, you know what I mean? I mean... Oh, hell yeah, dude. You got to get out. I mean, listen, I like your energy. I like where your mind's at. I don't want to say I love you because that sounds kind of gay, but you're right on the money, but you got to get in a van. You got to get out. Yeah, dude, from Richmond to Boston. And you know what? I can honestly say this very confidently. You will be... You will survive that. I can tell right off the bat. I'm around a lot of musicians. I know the ones that, you know, like the headbang in front of a mirror. And then I know the ones that get in a fucking van and they tour. Yeah, yeah. And you have that energy right there, man. It can be done. All right, let's mention some dates here. You're going to be playing April 9th at Paris Tires. Grand Corps Resurgence. Fuck, what a great show. Yes. Okay, so... I'm going to butcher this. Venetology. This is a fantastic band from Tijuana, Mexico, I believe. I saw them play with the Grand Corps thing. Amazing band. Why don't you pronounce that for me? Venetology. Amazing band. Dark as Death. Another great underground band. Endless Demise. Oh, Victor, he's been around forever. Great fucking guy. Spit on your grave. Human obliteration. Skulls. Skulls. Panties. Right? Oh, boy. Oh, boy. You know, we were trying to get panties in here, but I'm... Well, you had certain criteria. Yeah, yeah, you know. I was trying... They had to wear them. I'll tell you off the record, my wife's over there. I don't want to get divorced. Paris Tires, April 9th. This is only $5. No guest list, right? No guest list. No guest list. I mean, even I... Are we paying $5? We're paying $5. $5. Is that in the budget? Yeah. Is that in the budget? That's also my account. 1828 East Gage. This is an incredible underground show. Each and every one of these bands eclectic in their own way and extremely underground and subversive. What a great show. What a great representation. What a great place. Yes. Talk to me about the tacos. The tacos. You just hit my heart. I got a new taco guy. Soundbite Studios. Is he Mexican or Salvadorian? Well, he's actually white. Oh, yeah. That means he fucking sanitizes his hands. Luis from Soundbite Studios was sitting on the side of his studio when Mike was trying out for nausea and I was talking to him and he was saying, yeah, you know, I do tacos on the side. I said, wait, wait. What? You do tacos? I do tacos. Real tacos, right? He's not whipping out that fucking Del Taco type shell. No, no, no. This is the real deal. It would be a travesty on Gage Street. And so then I asked him, I said, hey, you know, you'd be willing to do all the Perez events and he says, yes, the chef would. And I said, wait a minute, the chef? And Chef Michael is an amazing chef that makes tacos for us at our tire shop and he makes some of the most interesting and bomb tacos. Everybody is now. Listen, listen, listen. You're scaring me. I don't want no fucking pineapple fucking raisin. No, no, no. No, it's just the cut of meat and he uses kind of maybe more along the lines of southern spices. Yeah, exactly. It's kick ass. I mean, the bottom line is the tacos are fucking good. And he does. He's got these. You don't even go to Quisados. Go to fucking Perez Tires. Go to Perez Tires. That's what I'm saying. Go to Perez Tires for the gourmet shit. By the way, I just got a text. Someone said they want to call it Chester. What is the number and how can people do we have a caller on the line? Caller, you're on the air. Hey, you're on the air. Hey, hey, Pendejo, you're on the air. All right, we're moving on. All right. April 16. April 16th. What a dick shit. That's on my birthday. You see why I hate taking live calls? All right.

You're a winner. All right. And then there's a bunch of other dates here. Why don't you read that? Rattle them off. Yeah, read your dates. He gave it to me, but I'm like, fuck that. I can't see. We got April 23rd over at Characters with Nausea and Spit on Your Grave. Then we got April 29th. That's going to be at Perez, and it's going to be with Backslider from Pennsylvania. Never heard of them. Looking forward to it, though. They're a fucking great band. Badass. And also Sex Prisoner from Arizona. They're one of the biggest power violence bands Arizona has. And we're excited to be hosting them at our shop. We're also playing that date for Spit. Then we have May 6th, Los Globos. That's going to be with Drop Dead and Magruder Grind. Oh, that's going to be a good one. Yeah, and East Coast. One of my favorite East Coast bands, Yacht Show. It's going to be a pretty surreal night for us. May 14th and 15th, we're doing a huge fest over at Perez, and we actually got hopped on. It's called Summer Grind, and there's going to be over 30 bands playing. Let me stop you right there. I'm sorry. Caller, you're on the air. Caller, you are on the air. Hello? Hey, what's up? Thank you for answering. What can we do for you? Yeah, I wanted to go on the air with Jimmy Cavs and the band. That's me, dude. Talk. You're on the air. Is this Enrique? Jimmy Cavs. It's Enrique. Hey, Enrique. That would explain what's happening, man. We were just talking to the radio, trying to call in, but I guess you guys are busy. We were just talking about your show, April 9th, with Phenontology, Darkest Death, Endless Demise, Spit on Your Grave, Human Abolition, Skulls and Panties, and the tacos. Five bucks. What we're watching is a delay, so me and Emma are trying to call in, but there's a delay, and I'm sure there'll be an echo or whatever while we're hearing, so. Well, listen, your voice sucks even on the air and in person, so I don't know how you got that gorgeous girl. I don't know, because that voice, I'd rather have cancer than to hear you fucking talk, but anyways. I don't fucking cancer as it is, dude. Why should people... I want to say what's up to the guys, you mean? I want to say what's up to... What's up, Enrique? What's going on, man? ...the crew there. You know, one thing me and both and Emma want to say, congratulations, Mike, on your gig with Nausea. Oh, hell yeah. That's good. Thank you. Yes. Hold on. By the way, can you give me a Nausea fucking album? Hi, guys. Hi, Emma. Hey, Emma. Hey, guys. Jimmy, thank you for having Pops, Anthony, and Carlos, and Michael. Oh, that's awesome. I want to say I love Anthony Grosset. He reminds me of my dad. Thanks. Wow. That's a nice compliment. Right. I'm really, really happy to have him on your show. Well, you know what? You're going to be here next week, so you can tell us more about this show, but for $5, you get to see all these great bands. Bandontology, Dark as Death. They get to see Memo Headbang like a motherfucker. Endless Demise, Spit on Your Grave, Human Obliteration, Skulls, Panties, $5, and the tacos. The tacos off the hook. Yeah, gourmet tacos. We're really proud of everything that Spit on Your Grave has accomplished. We definitely want to, we're proud to say we had them as one of our guest bands, you mean? Proud to have them as a band. Proud to have Anthony Grosset as, I mean, everything he's done for us and everything he's done for the scene. Jimmy, of course, you, we're looking forward to the show. We're a week and a half, away. Yes. And we'll be there next week. We're going to promote the band and, you know, we'll be leaving Spit on Your Grave. Awesome band. You know, they're part of our Grand Corps first tour of Mexico. They did fucking well. So, yeah, man. Just want to say what's up to the guys and we hope to see you guys soon. All right. Thanks for calling, bro. Thanks, guys. We'll see you. Thank you. And see you next week, Jimmy. All right. Let me mention this real quick. The guys from Spit on Your Grave and Pops were gracious enough to give us some free shit swag. We have three T-shirts. I think they're, what are they, Size L? Yeah, they're large. Large. So for those of you in shape, thin motherfuckers that want some Spit on Your Grave T-shirts, send me a Facebook message telling me, fuck Chester, and you'll get yourself a free Spit on Your Grave shirt. Preferably, if you're from Los Angeles, I wouldn't have to fucking spend money shipping it to you. All right. Let's flip. Listen, let's play a little bit of some music and then we'll be back and say farewell. Chester, take it away. Look. No. Uh, yes. No, no. It's horrible, isn't it? Isn't it? Please. Open your eyes and look at what you did! Open your eyes and look at what you did! Open your eyes and look at what you did! Why you take this fear? Why this place for death? Did you build on it?
