Here are
some notes from The LIFES HALT / WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Start
Something U.S. Summer Tour 2001. The big pictures are vidcaps from
Carl's documentary
that may or may not come out in our lifetime.
To start,
lemme introduce the dudes:
LIFES HALT:
Ernie
– singer, punker, latino heat.
Felix – bass player with big-ass mexi-fro and total lack of ‘game.’
Chuck – guitar player with enough ‘game’ for him and Felix and probably
the rest of the band. Aol screename: hot_cali_stud_4_u
Jon – guitar player with Simpsons obsession, Tenacious D fixation, and
penchant for whining.
Noel – drummer and most likely to be made fun of by bandmates. But be
careful, he gives out just as good as he gets. Considers old people ‘dumb.’
Fifth
wheels:
Nick – on tour as the ‘roadie’ but is more likely to be found making fun
of Noel and Jon, or ‘fucking up’ Noel and Jon. All around good guy. Singer
for Max and Felix and I’s band FxUxNx (which stands for Fuck Up Nick.)
Carl "Hard" Cordova – videographer. Carl conducted WHN?’s first
interview in his zine Jesus Come Back which also featured an interview
with LIFES HALT. LIFES HALT assumed we knew him well enough to allow him
on the trip while we thought HALT knew him good enough to trust him. Turns
out nobody really knew him very well. However, after only a couple hours
Carl proves he is not only fun and amiable, but also willing to take many
blows to the ego for our entertainment. Mike Thorne gave him his nickname
– "Hard" Cordova – after Carl tried to give himself one and
we all know you can’t give yourself your own punk name.
WHN?:
Robert – bass, beard, driving, married.
Max – drums and little else. This is the laziest guy I know.
Devon – hardcore singer and contortionist by night, feeble-bodied scab-picker
by day.
Craigums – that’s me and everything you are about to read is made up.
