Hexxus

Kelly: First off, introduce yourselves and tell us what you play.

Mike: I'm Mike, I play guitar.
Matt: I'm Matt, I play the drums.
Chris: I'm Chris and I sing.
Curry: I'm Curry and I play guitar.
Kyle: I'm Kyle, I play keys.
Clint: I'm Clint and I play bass, and by our powers combined we are Hexxus!

Jessie: And we are RCA!
Jessie: Ok first question! What made you guys want to team up and start the ever so sexual-fantasy-like Hexxus?

Laughter

Kyle: When I quit Dressed to Kill I joined Saturn Skyline and we needed a drummer really bad and I talked to dude from Ameretta, which is now The Sky Electric. They told me about this guy Matt Wings and they said he's really good at drums and he would love this kind of music... So I met him and he joined the band, then stuff didn't work out with Saturn Skyline, but I really liked Matt's talent and Matt introduced me to Chris Curry and that introduced me to A Chance Without and then ummm Chris B...
Chris B: Me and Kyle ended up running into each-other over and over again over the last year or so and we always thought it would be fun to jam together but we never did and then we walked into Guitar Center one day with a song and he showed it to me and I said this is fun yeah i'll jam. I originally hooked up on guitar --
Kelly: And now you sing.
Chris B: Yeah and now I sing because we got a better guitarist!

Laughter

Mike: I'm pretty good at what I do. I came back from Berklee this summer --
Kelly: School of music?
Mike: Yeah. Berkelee College of Music in Boston.
Chris B: And joined Hexxus.
Mike: And joined Hexxus, For shits and giggles.
Matt: Him and I have been sending songs back and forth, he would write a guitar lick and I would write drums and send them back to him for a long time. When it was decided that we needed a vocalist as good as Chris Bicknell we couldn't find one so we said alright screw it he can be singer and lets call Mike Corrado.

Distraction by a man walking around with a golf club...

Chris B: That guy has a golf club *points to man in alley*

Laughter

Kyle: Clint was pretty much dicked out of A Chance Without like two years ago and we started this and this is pretty much most of A Chance Without again except three new members so we called up Clint and said hey remember A Chance Without and we called him up to play with us.
Clint: I just showed up to all their practices...
Kyle: Mike our newest member learned all the guitar parts in an hour...
Kelly: Alright now! So the inevitable question, what does Hexxus mean?
Entire band: It means many things. There are certain locations that could mean Hexxus... Certain actions...
Kyle: Well the clean one is that it's obviously inspired by Fern Gully.
Curry: Hexxus is just anything bad, dirty, and evil in the world... Like this alley here is fucking Hexxus!
Kyle: Pretty much in Fern Gully that toxic goo.
Chris B: Anywho...

Jessie: So when can we expect a CD from you guys?
Chris B: Umm a month or twoish. Hopefully September!
Jessie: How about a Cribs episode?
Curry: That's October.
Clint: We have a yacht... and a helicopter.

Kelly: So what makes you guys different from other bands that are around now?
Clint: We're awesome.
Curry: We don't really sound like anything that someone can just make we have this weird que that combines everything from video game music to power metal.
Mike: Whenever anybody asks me what Hexxus sounds like I can't give them a straight answer...
Kyle: I described it to my friend as Final Fantasy, plus Megaman, plus... metal.
Chris B: We're really upbeat aggresive rock band that's really technical.
Kyle: And no screaming.

Jessie: Any plans on touring?
Chris B: Hopefully in a couple of months! Before the snow comes.
Kyle: We will tour on the boat and star on Deadliest Catch.

Kelly: Alright, this next question is Jessie's so she has to ask it...
Jessie: What animal are each of you!!?
Curry: Fucking wolf, man.
Chris B: Chris Curry is a wolf.
Mike: I am a penguin.
Chris B: I'm definitely an otter. *Looks at Matt* Did you pass? You can't pass!
Matt: I have no idea what animal I am!
Entire band: You're either a gecko or a badger...
Matt: I'll go with badger... I'm a badger.
Kyle: I'm a koala bear! Or just a bear.
Clint: Can I be a dinosaur? I want to be a terranadon. Do they make those?
Curry: I think transformers make those. Clint is a transformer.

Kelly: That's pretty much it...
Chris B: Can we ask you questions?
Kelly: Yeah, it's funny how many bands ask that!
Matt: I have a question for Clint, how fun is it working at the "Boofet?"
Clint: Oh dude I love the buffet man! It's tight dude, people die there.

Kelly: Any last words?
Whole band: Toxic love! - Rain City Ambience
