PTST: You just recently joined up with the guys of Goes Cube, how’s it going so far? Have they in anyway hazed you or initiated you at all?
Matt: It’s going really well. We did a three week tour a month ago that had us play something like 18 shows in 21 days - some strange shows, some fantastic shows, some in-between shows. Then we came home to play an incredible show at Union Hall to friends and family and now we’re writing new songs and consistently finding ourselves humbled at the press that’s been written about the band and the debut album (lots of great stuff from the UK in particular). As far as hazing, not really, since I’d already toured with the band before and was friends with them, I wasn’t “the new guy” per se and didn’t have to do anything ridiculous that the other two guys weren’t doing as well. That said, if you know how to play me against myself, you can pretty much elicit some self-hazery. Which the guys did towards the end of the tour by daring me to shotgun a warm Budweiser that had been in the van for two weeks while we were stuck in traffic on the highway (I wasn’t driving). Like Marty McFly being called “chicken,” I downed the nasty beer, gagged, and sat there proud of myself as the guys laughed hysterically.
