Mexican Larceny - kind of like Frank Zappa doing folk rock.
Why this name?
Brett was once almost arrested for shoplifting in Tijuana.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it spells the end of the 8 track cassette. Definitely no comeback now.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.
