Interview W/ CHRW radio

Interviewer Mike Bot did a great job compiling all the music that was featured on his show that he co-runs with his girl, and nailed pretty much all of my influences in one interview. If only all the music journalists could be as professional, and thoughtful as Mike. Here's to you bud.

CHRW RADIO : DIRTY BEACHES INTERVIEW

Beijing

Meet my favorite new band: The Offset Spectacles
A wicked 3 piece Noir Garage group from Hong Kong, now based in Beijing. We jammed and recorded 3 tracks in their studio and I can't wait to be back there again jamming with them. Beijing was amazing, everyone was incredibly friendly and the food was sooooooooo fucking good. Also big thank you to Zhu Wen Bo for letting me crash at your place for 3 days. It was a breath of fresh air being in a new town again, where the creative energy is so strong that it's contagious.
