So this is different for me I usually write out everything for the interview and such , but this time I did an audio interview with WITH LIBERTY which I have never done before and didn't know what to expect or how it would come out . But after listening to it it actually came out pretty good , so I might be more interview like this at local shows , the others will be done the old school way . Sorry to CARRY THE 9 , I'd have more pictures and video's but I was busy at the moment . I added a few pictures from the show at The Trap and a few from their show at the Punks and Junk Flea Market in Upland back in January . click on this link and here the interview WITH LIBERTY INTERVIEW
Went to a show Friday night in of all places in Oildale , California at a place called The Trap which to find out that bands have played there before and it was my first time going there , i got there about there about 6:50 since the flyer said 7 pm but I didn't know I'm use to Jerry's Pizza show times , flyer says 7 and bands usually don't start for another hour or so . I see a few people I know so we talk about different stuff and next thing I know I see David from Latest Regret walking down the sidewalk with his bass amp on a dolly to set up for the show since they were on first . The Trap is kinda a small place but cozy and the atmosphere was relaxed but again since it's in The Dale (Oildale) must people usually associate it with just white trash racists hanging out in a honky tonk bar or doing meth outside in the alley , the crowd was older (well it was a bar show) alot of them were around my age (I'm 53) and some youngsters . I seen no bullshit or attitudes being thrown around so it was a pretty chill and relaxed place .
Next up was CARRY THE 9 from Ventura , California (just south of my hometown Ojai) who played their Skate Rock styled music with influences from such bands as Face To Face , Lagwagon , Strung Out , Good Riddance , etc , you get the idea of what they sound like . The 805 has so many bands with so many different styles you could hear at 1 show , so to hear these guys play reminded me of going to shows at The Skate Palace , the Oxnard Community Center , The Red Barn in Isla Vista . The band is Kevin - vocals , Sean - drums & vocals , Jose -bass and "let's Go" , jeremy - guitar & vocals .

Up next from Paso Robles , California was DIVISION 13 playing their 80's and 90's style punk rock , pretty much the same style as Carry The 9 , but still exciting and fun , I love hearing new bands and being excited at how good they were and they were one of them . The band is Beau , Chris , James , Jake and Billy and they are influence by since bands as Bad relion, Face To Face , Strung Out and Rise Against .

Up last another local Bako band THE M & M KIDS , sorry wrong band I meant WITH LIBERTY with their hardcore work out punk tunes , I've only seen them a couple times but with some funny witty commentary and with the singer/guitarist running around into the back of the crowd and wherever he can get too , Fitbit needs to sponser him for all the miles he can do in a small building . These guys and gal are always a blast to go see The band consists of M6 - guitar and vocals , Joey - bass and vocals , Chuey - drums (not sure if I spelt his name right , sorry) and their special guest singer Cheyenne .
