Our adventure last night took us into San Francisco (shocking, I know) to the Independent, where we were to interview Mix Master Mike (Beastie Boys) and Travis Barker (Blink 182).
Travis had been touring and performing as a duo with DJ AM under the name
TRV$DJAM, until Adam Goldstein's death in 2009. Now back out on the road, Barker has been playing shows with Mix Master Mike to promote his solo effort,
Give the Drummer Some.
The tour manager for Barker was something else... not in a good way. Details aside, we ended up waiting around until the end of the show to do the interviews (normally done after sound check). At this point, Mix Master Mike was very gracious and even went over-time with his interview. Afterwords, we waited back stage for Travis, only to have the tour manager finally come in and say "ok, so Travis isn't going to do the interview..."
At least Mike was accommodating, otherwise we spent all night in San Francisco for nothing. Glad I didn't have to pay the $30-$50 ticket!
