There is a great article/interview in the Washington Post (!) about Lars Frederiksen. It covers the Bastards, Rancid, and punk rock in general. Despite being a major publication, it isn't that out of touch (Lars does more talking then the reporter)An interesting thing is the lineup of the Bastards : The drummer is Scott Ables of Hellcat roots-ska band Hepcat. He is also Brett Reed's tour tech. The bassist, "Big Jay Bastard", is Tim Armstrong's guitar tech. The second guitarist is Craig Scott, of a local Campbell band called the Scotts. He arrived for the tour after the record was finished. The masked Unknown Bastard is "a crazy punk rock kid from Campbell, now singing backgrounds and being a maniac."Source: Washington Post, Epitaph
