Bad Religion, Kid With Manhead, Dag Nasty Notes

Wow, what a night I had in Cleveland this past Monday. I interviewed Greg Graffin of Bad Religion which will be featured on Punknews.org. He was very nice and he gave some good answers to your questions. Bad Religion's manager Rick Marino requested that I also speak with one of his other bands, Kid With Man Head. I did, of course, and found that these guys were very, very fun and even though the interview went haywire, I will try to splice together what I can and post that interview here as well. A few notes of interest...

- Greg Graffin is working on a punk community website called Punksphere.com. It is in the works right now, but you can still check out The Bad Religion Home Page ...

- In regards to the run in between Bad Religion guitarist Brian Baker and Neil from Fastmusic a few things were overlooked on the punkmusic.com newsboard. For starters, alcohol was involved in the incident. Second, and this is all through word of mouth, Neil was being obnoxious and rude on the bus and Brian Baker's requests were a retort to his behavior.

- The reunited Dag Nasty plans to tour the country once again. They will also have a new record in 2001 and are looking at Epitaph or Vagrant Records to bring the sucker out.

- Kid With Manhead's Chris Gallen runs a great website at
Superpunk.com. The place has everything you could ever ask for in extreme sports and punk rock. A fantastic page for the kids out there.

- Jay Bentley told me that Zoli from Ignite has filled in Michael Graves spot as Misfits lead singer. I then asked the rest of Bad Religion about this, and they said it was true. They said he replaced Graves at a Vancouver gig and took the job. Can I get some confirmation from anyone who was at the show??

Also, in talking with Greg and Chris they both suggested a partnership between Punknews.org and their own respective websites. I think this is a great idea, what do you people think?? I would like Aubin to email me in regards to this and write me at kdoyle316@yahoo.com. The interviews will be posted within the next two weeks.
