you been together?
Jeb- I'm Jeb. I'm 21. I sing and play bass for some band who's name
escapes me at the moment. I like you. Like, liiiiiiike like you....Do
you like me? Circle yes or no.
Tony- I'm Tony. Yes...I do like you Jeb. I'm 19 and I play drums in The
Sideline. Really really well.
J-How long have we been together?
T-Jeb and I have been together for 2 years.
J-Off and on.
Kevin- Hi I'm Kevin, I'm 19 and have nothing to show for it but playing
guitar in a crappy band. Tony and i have been in bands together for the
past five years, he's the only drummer I've ever played with. Jeb and I
met on HotVAlocalGuys.com and hit it off pretty well. Collectively we
started The Sideline about a year and a half ago, and since have done a
butload of stuff.
M- Story behind your name. How did you come up with it? and were there
others you considered before choosing The Sideline?
K- Hey listen, The Sideline, basically we were at a time in our lives
when we could either sit on the sideline watching everything go by like
many of our friends and other people we don't really care about, or we
could get off the sideline grab the bull by the balls, and do
everything
we've been dreaming about from the moment music came into our lives.
T- We thought The Sideline would be the perfect name for our band
because its the exact opposite of who we are and everything we stand
for.
J-We didn't choose it. It chose us.
K-We were considering naming it San Antonio Rules, but we didn't wanna
be liars.
J-Really bad liars.
T-100% untrue
J-Psych.
M- You have to convince a random person on the street who knows
nothing
about you to come to one of your shows.. How would you describe your
music to them?
T- Good luck finding someone whos never heard of us.
J-How drunk is the person?.......I'm not even starting the conversation
until they're 4 or 5 deep.
K- I don't talk to strangers after what happened in mexico, long story
short I end up staring down the but of a donkey.
T-On a serious note I would say we sound a lot better than we look.
well not better than I look.
J-Wow, you really love yourself in this question.
T-But seriously good luck finding someone whos never heard of THE
Sideline.
M- You guys will be in my hometown of San Antonio, Tx in a few weeks..
Will this be your first time to S.A.?
J-God I wish. Hopefully the last. No seriously, last time we tried to
pee on the Alamo, no joke. We would have gotten away with it too, if
the
cop I asked to take our picture doing it, hadn't ruined it for us.
K- There was some weird festival going on with huge groups of people
wearing the same colored shirts, i yelled some stuff, made fun of some
people I probably shouldn't have, and tried to sneak into a hotel where
the green ones were dancing.
T- We went to San Antonio last summer and it was awesome. We're really
looking forward to the show on June 15th. Check out
www.myspace.com/thesideline for more info.
M- I just saw your video for "It's Impossible". Who came up with the
concept for the video? How long did it take you guys to shoot?
K- I don't know, I woke up with a bunch of dudes in my bed and a camera
in my face, and pretty much spent a day running from this crazy girl,
Jon Tobin, who kept trying to put make-up on me. (I think he thought i
was in Fall Out Boy)
T- The video took about 3 days to shoot and most of that was us hitting
on the female director Mel that nobody warned us about. We came up with
the concept with Jon Tobin who filmed and edited the video.
J-Yeah we gotta mention Jon Tobin somewhere in this answer he's going
to
try to beat us up. And he's petite so I don't wanna embarass him.
M- Craziest Road story?
T- being locked in a 1sq mile area of a town while people take down the
traffic lights so huge covered trucks (probably carrying UFOs) could
fit
through, Our windshield wipers breaking off on the highway during a
hurricane, and seeing a crazy person scream at LL cool J in NYC(seeing
LL Cool J was also crazy).
J-Truck surfing with a drunk driver (huge mistake), Sun poisoning 2
days
into a tour, getting on TRL on our first tour ever, playing shows on
tour with every kid singing along.
K- (slept through this question)
M- You guys will be on tour until the end of August. Do you have any
after tour plans?
J-I plan on quitting.
T- by then our album "Cool" will be finished so we're planning to stay
out on tour as much as possible. We're working on a west coast tour and
possibly a Japan tour for later this year.
J- Just pushing it harder, never letting it slow down or falling off.
T-Thats what she said.
J-Or he said she said.
K- Finish recording the guitar for our album "Cool", learn some
Japanese, eat some foods, possibly give up this whole band thing.
M- What would you like your fans to know about you?
K- There's a guy behind my amp that plays everything, I'm just paid to
look amazing.
J-You lose a lot of money chasing women, but you'll never lose a lot of
women chasing monies.
T- I can think of a few things I DON'T want anyone to know about me.
J-Come expecting a great time, leave expecting your money back.
RANDOM STUPID QUESTION
M- Have you ever had a pair of panties thrown at you?
J-Yea, but be warned I see it as an invitation, so think before you
throw them. We love everything our fans give us and we use it all, so
be
sure I'll wear them at least once before mailing them back to you.
T- I've had a pair of panties thrown at me once when we played at
Kevins
Little sisters birthday party. That's still kind of a touchy subject.
J-(He means for Kevin.)
K- Thats not true, don't ever look at her again, you said you were just
helping her with homework.
