Howdy Surf Bands,
With all the hats I seem to wear, I'm not finding enough time to actually conduct phone interviews with bands. But I have done virtual interviews in the past. If you'd like to send me an interview in an .mp3 I can assure you it will sound like we're actually speaking to each other! Please take your time and have fun - I'd like to fill about 15 minutes with the interview.
STANDARD INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
Hello and welcome to the Shrunken Head Lounge. Thank you for joining us! (you can respond how ever you feel)
Also if you don't mind, please do a short promo for the Shrunken Head Lounge. Example: "Hello, we are ___ and you're listening to the Shrunken Head Lounge!". We will use this promo on other shows where you music may appear, just as a thank you!
Thanks,
Noodles
DJ & Curator of The Shrunken Head Lounge
