Read Only interview
Writing about nachos is an intensely interesting, weird and rewarding experience. I get to eat a lot of my favorite food, I get to meet a lot of awesome people who love nachos, and sometimes I get great emails. Phil, read our other avocado tattoo, Shelly, and left word that he too had an avocado on his person. His tattoo is AWESOME, so, naturally, we asked some questions.
With this Friday’s Nacho House NYC coming so fast, we rushed to the phones to talk to idea originators and amazing band, Hollerado. They put on Nacho Houses on the map at SXSW and NXNE. So we talked to them a little about music and a lot about our common interest, chos. Come see us all this Friday at Cake Shop.
When we’re not reviewing nachos all over the place or throwing events that garner URDB records, we like to talk to bands. We’ve been tweeting with Shark? for sometime and had questions to ask them.
Now a profile on a Guacatular contestant, a taco enthusiast, and a lover of Mexican cuisine: Forrest Cole. Forrest not only entered the Guactacular with his creation, he also served the masses as part of Choncho’s Tacos. Now his restaurant, The Loading Dock, will host Gypsies, Tramps, and Tacos this Saturday. This west coast transplanted has a few things to say about east coast Mexican, the Brooklyn Flea, and of course, guacamole.
Did you forget? Monday is the day of all days: the Guac Rock Boat Cruise! While you’ll be scarfing down guacamole, North Highlands will be entertaining the masses. One of L Magazine’s 8 NYC Bands to Hear in 2010, North Highlands were eager answer a few questions and share their excitement to be part of this epic event.
With the Guacatcular on our door steps, I know you are just dying to meet some of the chosen few who will competing for guac glory. I sent out a few silly intro questions earlier this week. So without further ado, I present to you profiles on 11 out of the selected 20. First off, our Guactacular Champion of 2009, Karol Lu.
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past month then you would know that the Guactacular is around the corner. This year, while you wet you whistle with Dos Equis and feast on 20 guacs, Alex Meixner and his band will be putting on a crazy-ass show. Mariachi polka music will be heard at the Bell House. For a little insight into what we will hear, I asked the man himself.
When we hear Savoir Adore, we clamored to talk to them! Through being a massive Nacho Nation, we were given that opportunity. Here’s there A’s to our Q’s. After you read their answers, mark your calendar for Friday night when they’ll play at Cameo with French Horn Rebellion.
