BOB: I didn’t realize that this was actually the twentieth anniversary of the Muffs.
BOB: I was there. Standing on a chair next to Paula Pierce.
KIM: She was screaming "Yay for Ronnie!"
RONNIE: We had a hot crowd. Paula and Sheri Kaplan were there. Donita Sparks, Steve McDonald and Sophia Coppola were there.
KIM: Bunch of people we know from a long time ago.
ROY: That was quite a crowd.
RONNIE: And then the next gig... nobody!
(LAUGHTER)
KIM: That’s because we played on a Tuesday.
RONNIE: At the Gaslight.
BOB: Did you guys ever think you would have your band going this long?
KIM: No. I mean, why would we even think we’d be able to?
RONNIE: I never thought about it.
KIM: I didn’t think about it, I just wanted to write songs.
RONNIE: You don’t think about it then and then twenty years slips by. As you get older, it goes faster and faster. The people who know us and like us, tend to like us a lot. That helps. If we were playing to no one and no one cared...
KIM: It would be harder to play. Or harder to justify it.
BOB: I know you don’t like the first album very much but have your feelings changed about any of the songs?
KIM: I totally appreciate the song writing on it. Still don’t like the production. I don’t know, there’s kind of a cool vibe on it. I don’t know why, but it pisses me off. Why does everyone’s first album have to sound like shit? Even if it cost a ton of money, why is that?
BOB: Tradition.
KIM: Well, we follow that tradition.
BOB: But some Fruitopia money came out of that.
KIM: True. And that song, that was a shock. That was really cool.
RONNIE: That was when everything was still happening. We haven’t had proper management in ten years and we don’t go looking for stuff. We’re just lucky. Now that rock is a dead art form like reggae, you know. We can still work this.
