6.17.03/ kat: here's the exciting interview with david from HALFWAY, melodic hXc from las vegas. whoa.
K: alright... to start off... please state your names and what you play.
D: David, I do vocals

K: so how did you guys get your name?
D: lol...i don't think any of us like the name HALFWAY. HALFWAY seems like a name for some mediocre band. The newspaper wanted to interview us, but we had no band name at the time so quickly someone pulled HALFWAY out of their ass and at the time HALFWAY was the most clever thing we could think of...god knows why.

K: so how would you describe your band's sound?
D: it's changed a lot from when we started, we played a lot more melody, but throw in the ocassional breakdown and always make sure that the heavy quality still presents. we're ufer-core.

K: who in the band writes the songs?
D: we all do, we all sit down a write parts until finally a shitty ass song is made

K: what kind of topics do you typically address in your songs?
D: we talk about politcal stuff like how we hate the president and all, and how the president is fat. actually im just kidding, we dont.

K: haha. so has anything exciting or weird happened at any of your shows?
D: once we broke a cieling fan and glass from the light blubs flew everywhere and gouged out peoples eyes, but who needs eyes when you're at a concert.

K: lol. so is there any cd's that you're currently addicted to?
D: why? you wanna rip the bands from me? just playin. i just got the Off Minor CD.. its really good. i cant speak for the rest of the band... we usually dont talk about what we're addicted to.

K: understandable. whats the most embarrasing cd you own?
D: im not embarrassed of any of my CDs, i wouldn't have bought them if i was embarrassed by them, and why are all goths bi-sexuals? i hate that
K: whoa.. that thew me off.. haha. anyways, everyone has a CD they listened to in elementary school thats embarrasing now.
D: not me...
K: hah, a likely story.
D: i've been hardcore ever since i emerged out of my moms uterus
K: oh, im sure
D: i was wearing little baby head phones that i made out of the umbillical cord

K: ... thats kind of a gross picture when you think about it. Anyways, so what do you think of the local scene in Vegas?
D: i don't want to be like everyone else and say it sucks, but it does. the actual scene is a little family, most people dont care about local bands. hell i don't!

K: where do you guys usually play?
D: we've played at smoothie king about 5 times, they are our little bitches, we make them shake us up smoothies all the time...with 2 types of flavors, and than if we dont like it, we spit it all in their faces

K: well, you sure sound like nice guys.
D: are you hitting on me?
K: oh yea. i want your ass.
D: lol

K: what is in your wallet right now?
D: money, a baby picture, a key that opens up dungeon doors, health card, drivers license, business cards, lint

K: hmm... ok. do you guys have any preshow rituals?
D: ofcourse...we usually kill a goat and drink its blood while singing Zimbobway hymes
K: oh yea, i thought so. haha.
