In the wake of the recent news that the new "Blues & Lasers" record has gone into the mastering process I wanted to highlight this stellar interview from Dave Schultz that<a href="http://www.jambands.com/features/2009/02/22/the-nocturnals-mule-a-howling-blend-of-blues-lasers"> appeared in Jambands</a> sometime back. I can't believe I missed publishing it then but - there you go.

<blockquote>“You know how you met me,” Yurco tells Tournet, who reacts with a bemused expression on being chided by Yurco. “I met you at Albertson when I came down to see you guys play, because you were hot as shit. I asked you about your Fender Telecaster. That’s where I met Bryan, I think you blew out my amplifier,” he says, pausing for a second. “It was at the Bernie Sanders benefit,” continues Yurco. “And I blew out your amp before I even met you,” finishes Tournet, now recalling the incident. “I get a call, Dude, Scott Tournet just blew your amp up,’” an animated Yurco recalls, bringing a big smile to Tournet’s face. “I’m sure you said, Ah, I’ve got to be in a band with that guy,’” jokes Tournet. “That was basically our first introduction to each other,” continues Yurco. “Scott blowing out my amplifier and then not remembering it.” Yurco then bursts out laughing. “That’s all right, I had more work done than I needed on it anyway,” he says of the repairs Tournet paid for.

Like all good stories, Tournet remembers everything completely different.</blockquote>
