KF: Kathy Foster

WG: Westin Glass

JN: You know some of the time things simply work out truly well and when we were arranging this first scene of this show Noisemakers on Noisevox, we were thinking OK who would we be able to converse with that is going to be cool and fun and shrewd and ideally not going to give me trouble. Also, it just so happed that the Thermals were around the local area this week, so folks it's great to see you...thanks for doing this

HH: You too much obliged for having us.

JN: I don't have any acquaintance with it implies a great deal that you folks...

KF: I thought you were going to say, BUT the Thermals were nearby...

JN: Yeah we settled for...

HH: We couldn't get them, so all things being equal...

JN: So things are going great, you've had two or three days here in New York which is a decent, not to must keep running starting with one town then onto the next for once...

HH: Yeah we had two awesome shows at the Bowery truly fun...

JN: And having the capacity to stay in one spot is pleasant. You appear to move with the visiting thing great however. I take it dislike in-your-face partiers, not contemporary Nikki Sixx's...

WG: No. I was entirely edge for one day on this visit.

JN: I read that. Since I think I might converse with the most Twitter cheerful band on the planet.

HH: (giggles) Kathy's humiliated by it however the previous evening she Twittered a tad bit.

JN: Are you for the most part Hutch a "sharer" - do you get a kick out of the chance to share.

HH: (gestures) I'm a show off. For the most part it's Westin and I. Our saying is 'two fellows sexting you. Throughout the day, relentless.'

JN: But on the show off front, you're undressing way less now than you used to.

HH: Yeah - that is something you do just need to do here and there, and you get a notoriety for it. So...it resembled...

JN: And then individuals generally expect it.

HH: Yeah and afterward you can't offer it to em.

JN: Exactly

KF: Plus it was a ton simpler initially in light of the fact that he just sang. He didn't play guitar. So it was less demanding for him to take his garments off.

JN: And then, you can just do that for so long. The Black Lips said the same thing in regards to kissing, about making out in front of an audience. At that point individuals began to come and expect that from them...

HH: It's not stunning any longer.

JN: So, how - would you say you are content with the way the new record's being gotten and...people appear to get into it?

KF: Yeah - so cheerful.

HH: Definitely.

KF: Really great input.

HH: Yeah I think the previous evening individuals were chiming in to the new melodies, significantly more - a great deal of times I feel like we have to play more old tunes cause those are the tunes individuals come to listen, however...

JN: (over) right

HH: But as of late it resembles individuals are coming to hear the new melodies and the record's simply been out, you know, scarcely a month. It's truly cool.

JN: Well, as I said in Austin, when I conversed with you last, I should say the collection was gone before by one of the colossal animating singalong tunes of the year. I think 'Now We Can See' is like...I mean I don't know whether it's achieved the level of attention to say "Here's Your Future" or "Coming back To the Fold" however it was close, as far as the response the previous evening.

KF: Yeah it's valid. The previous evening particularly.

HH: It was truly fun.

JN: Is there another single, or have you not chose yet?

KF: I think 'We Were Sick' Is going to be the following single.

JN: And a video?

KF: Yeah we are looking at making a video when we get back possibly?

HH: Yeah our motivation is the 'Pumps in a Bump' uh, MC Hammer video from at whatever point that was, late Nineties...

JN: Is that privilege?

HH: Pool parties...

WG: Well by then it was simply Hammer. Mallet's Death Row years...

HH: "Pumps In a Bump"

JN: That was a major spending time for him, isn't that so?

HH: I believe that was somewhat the last heave. He was on Death Row then and he was revamped with his gangsta picture...

KF: It was at a house, it may have been at his house....

WG: Yeah a panther print Speedo is pretty gangsta. Pretty gangsta.

HH: Yeah so that'll be subject. You know brimming with uh, party...bitches.

JN: yes? A considerable measure of additional items?

HH: Oh better believe it.

JN: Now let me, I said 'Here's Your Future', 'Coming back to the Fold' - those tunes and that collection had such an effect, to the point that, not simply in wording I think about another level of individuals finding the band additionally regard insightful. I don't know whether you expected to be taken as a "genuine" band however I surmise that record positively added to some of that genuine thought.

HH: Yeah completely.

JN: So did that include weight to working this record - kind of satisfying what that one accomplished for you?

HH: Yeah without a doubt the appreciation - I figure particularly for the verses for the last record got - that was the greatest test to compose something that was as great or superior to the last record I think.

JN: And so did you approach that carefully?

HH: It was truly simply more the altering procedure was heavier. So I would compose the verses for a melody and afterward re-compose the entire thing and after that re-compose it again so that, on this record a great deal of the tunes that you hear are on their third or fourth finish new arrangement of verses. So a considerable measure of times the composition would come effortlessly yet then we'd take a gander at it and simply know it was not exactly there yet. Furthermore, I would compose something and show it to Kathy and we might want it, yet we were searching for the contrast between saying, 'admirably that is sufficient' and saying 'alright that is something better than average'. Like, a melody like "I Let It Go" just experienced a great many versions until we realized that it was precisely where it should have been and the same thing with "Now We Can See" and "When I Died" only a considerable measure of re-composing on this record.

JN: The last record, The Body, The Blood... was so much a result of, expressively a result of its time and what we were all living in the beautiful Bush, Cheney, Rove years. What's more, I figure many individuals possibly likewise anticipated that this one would mirror the adjustment in where we're going as a nation. But then it's not by any means so politically referential.

HH: No better believe it that is the one thing that Kathy and I discussed when we were composing the new record is that we ought to let governmental issues and religion well enough alone as much as we could. That it was sufficient on the last record.

JN: obviously there's the familiar adage that everything is to some degree political - certainly political. So there's...

KF: Yeah I feel like there's some in there without a doubt. Because of like you say what time we're living in and what's happening around us.

JN: The shallow take would be it's a fresh start it's a more hopeful time for his nation. What's more, I think when individuals first heard the title "Now We Can See" - the presumption was this is going to be a rose-hued glasses take a gander at where things are going and it's truly not.
