[KILL MEMORY CRASH PERFORMING]

BILL HOLLAND: Welcome back to Gearwire.Com. I'm here with Kill Memory Crash who just played an awesome show. Thanks for joining me.

ALEX SANFACON: Thank you, man. Thank you. I appreciate that.

BILL HOLLAND: Now tell me a little bit about your live set. What are you guys doing up there. I noticed some effects pedals that were feeding into your mic it looks like, and you got a laptop up there and you have drums. Tell me a little bit about that. First, let's go with the laptop.

ALEX SANFACON: Okay. Basically we have the laptop is running most of the major sequencers so the laptop is running like the bass lines and [EXPLETIVE], the main beat and all that. Can I swear? Is swearing a bad thing here?

BILL HOLLAND: That's fine. I'll bleep it.

ALEX SANFACON: Good. You don't have to bleep like a [EXPLETIVE].

BILL HOLLAND: [LAUGHING]

ALEX SANFACON: Yeah. So basically, the computer is running most of the bass sounds you would hear. Adam is, you know, doing the vox obviously. He's running through a TC Helicon, right?

ADAM SIECZKA: [NODDING]

ALEX SANFACON: A bass -- a vocal processor, and then we have Gabe doing drums on the drum pads, the Yamaha --

GABRIEL PALOMO: Yamaha DTXtreme IIS sampling.

ALEX SANFACON: It's running through a Korg.

GABRIEL PALOMO: Running through a Korg into the mixer pretty much.

ALEX SANFACON: A KAOSS Pad.

GABRIEL PALOMO: A KAOSS Pad, yeah.

BILL HOLLAND: What's does that allow you to do?

GABRIEL PALOMO: What's that?

BILL HOLLAND: What does the KAOSS Pad allow you to do live?

GABRIEL PALOMO: I could -- Pretty much just effects, man. Just effects [EXPLETIVE] with the drums and the sounds, you know, throw some reverbs and reverses on it, echoes.

BILL HOLLAND: Now, what were you running your vocals through up there?

ADAM SIECZKA: Well, the vocals are, you know, they're running through the computer, which he, you know, effects and edits, so it's very improvisational process to where he'll tweak whatever I do. We kind of feed off each other which is very cool and very, you know, live feel, which is what we're trying to go for. Even though we're using all this, you know, set technology, what we're trying to go for is a very live feel.

ALEX SANFACON: Yeah. That's a good point. We do tend to really feed off each other, so someone might do something random or unexpected and the other people will kind of play along with it, look, smile, laugh, take us swigging, get rolling, whatever that, you know, direction tends to be. So we're a little bit by the seat of our pants but we’re very well structured. So, it's basically structured chaos. I know people have heard that a million times. That's pretty much what it is.

BILL HOLLAND: Well it gives you more flexibility on stage too, right?

ALEX SANFACON: It does because there's a certain amount of restraint involved in playing songs with like a verse-chorus structure and [EXPLETIVE] like that, but when we, you know, we kind of have it pre-decided that if we, when one person goes off the handle, we'll kind of roll with it and --

GABRIEL PALOMO: Improvise.

ALEX SANFACON: Yeah, and that it really contributes to a lot of fun. We hope people like it. I don't know. It's fun for me though either way.

BILL HOLLAND: All right. Do you guys have any new releases coming out soon?

ALEX SANFACON: What do we got?

ADAM SIECZKA: We do. We have an EP that'll be out in three months on Ghostly International. You know, it will encompass some of the material that we performed tonight. We do have some tracks that are out currently on Spectral, and so yeah, I mean --

ALEX SANFACON: Yeah. The Kill Project.

ADAM SIECZKA: Yeah. The Kill Project.

GABRIEL PALOMO: We just got the The Swim Project out too.

ADAM SIECZKA: Also, we, you know, we had a track that just came out with Adult Swim, and Ghostly did a compilation together. It's very cool.

GABRIEL PALOMO: The Hit Plus Run.

GABRIEL PALOMO: Yeah, the Hit and Run track is on there, which we didn't perform tonight but, you know, it's very similar to the material that we're doing.

BILL HOLLAND: Cool. Well, thanks for joining me again guys. I appreciate it.

ALEX SANFACON: Our pleasure, man.

GABRIEL PALOMO: Thanks.

ALEX SANFACON: We hate this [EXPLETIVE] but we love you for wanting to interview us.

GABRIEL PALOMO: [LAUGHING]

BILL HOLLAND: It's all right.

ALEX SANFACON: You know. [LAUGHING]

BILL HOLLAND: I know the feeling.

ALEX SANFACON: I love you for it, man. [LAUGHING]

ADAM SIECZKA: [INDISCERNIBLE] [LAUGHING]

GABRIEL PALOMO: [LAUGHING]

BILL HOLLAND: No problem, and you're watching Gearwire.Com, and we are live at Movement 2008. Well, we're not actually live. We're here but --

ALEX SANFACON: That doesn't mean we're actually live.

ADAM SIECZKA: That doesn't mean we're live.
