Chrome Over Brass (Boston, MA)

Aaron Ratoff of Krill posed questions for Alex Garcia-Rivera of Chrome Over Brass

Aaron Ratoff: What are you looking forward to most this week?

Alex Garcia-Rivera: I’ve got a recording session this weekend. My friend Pat from lovechild has a pop punk band called Fall Risk and I’ll be recording them in my studio. I own a small all-analog recording studio.

AR: Out of all the items you see in front of you currently, which is your favorite?

AGR: Oh wow…okay, I’m looking around…oh! My new drill prep. I just bought an enormous drill prep. I’ve got this little workshop in my house because as a person who records bands I often repair a lot of my own gear. I’ve got all of these power tools and soughtering irons, half-finished projects and shit so this is my favorite thing right now.

AR: Would you eat a horse (if vegetarian/vegan, would you eat a soy/seitan horse)?

AGR: I’ve been vegan for about twenty years, this wouldn’t be much of a challenge, of course I would do it. I’ve had vegetarian haggis before. I don’t know what you know about haggis but it’s probably the most disgusting meat product. I was in Scotland and I saw vegetarian haggis on the menu and just thought, “what…what the fuck is this shit? I guess I’ll try it!” It was pretty disgusting. So if I can eat that, I can do this.
