Here are some videos. Due to my biological height I can't really film from the back. Standing where I was wasn't the best choice either always had someone standing in my point of view, but it's ok.

Quick Interview with Al Brown of Dangers
Dangers - Stay-At-Home Mom from alvin carrillo on Vimeo.
by Alvin C.
thisisalvin:
Dangers - Stay-At-Home Mom
Quick interview I had with Al about this particular Dangers song followed by live footage of the song.
“Why didn’t you kill yourself today?
What cross, what coupon, what cathode ray
Put the joie de vivre in your diseased heart?
How Anne Hathaway,
How Peg Bundy
Thou art.
Hey Sugar:
Prove to me that the air you breathe
Wasn’t better served by the leaves of a tree.
You’re but a breeder,
Tax break receiver
With menopause sweats
A TV tray and a mosh pit son
Who wastes the marrow of his bones
Jumping into these drums.
Please tell him:
Don’t stand so (no)
Don’t stand so (close)
Don’t stand so close to me.
See, I know your children
Because I’ve been your children
And us children, hopeful children
Ain’t worth the stretch marks baby.
‘Cause we may sing these songs of protest,
Cast our ballots, too
Forgo meat and
Ride our bikes and
Get our band’s stupid tattoo
But it means nothing,
Nothing,
When we get eaten by the sun.
Que sera
Que sera
For, whatever there is will soon be all gone.
So what’s wrong
With a song
That asks wherefore and why have you lived this long?
A purpose?
You want a reason?
Stop believing.
Or stop needing the answers.
There are no answers
Except the sun, the sun, the sun.
While you sit on your couch
And wait up for your boy
We’re polluting his mind with this
(noise).”

June 10th Uploads Completed
Well my internet was acting up. I think it had a cold or something which led me to postpone the uploads from the show. That was a good show. People showed up early and kicked it inside, outside, all around. It was nice to see faces I haven't seen in a while. I served food which surprisingly ran out when I walked away. I only bought a vinyl and wanted a Soul Control shirt but it was too late. Jim Connolly shred!! He is a nice guy and so is everyone. My friends Zach and Joe came along with me. It was just a good feeling not like at the cobalt at times. Sad thing is that I think McWerld got shut down : /
....
Mi internet estaba con fiebre. Por el momento puedo subir algunas cosas. Estos videos son de cuando Dangers toco en Los Angeles antes que fueron a Australia. También el video "June 10th Experience" son clips de otras cosas fuera del concierto pero también agregue partes de cuando los chicos hablaron y de Erick cuando me estaba gritando jaja. El show antes que ese dia con fue ehh por que habia poco gente menos energia todos estaba a un lado o sentado. Yo voy al show por los experiencias y la gente. Las bandas serian nada si no fuera por la gente que los gusta. Sirvio comida :] [eso fue mi entrada jaja]
Dangers esta en Australia ahora creo lo deseo un buen show.

DANGERS - Messy Isn't It Lyrics
I have seen some people being linked here in search of their lyrics. One of them was from Argentina.
Stay-At-Home Mome
Why didn't you kill yourself today?
What cross, what coupon, what cathode ray
Put the joie de vivre in your diseased heart?
How Anne Hathaway,
How Peg Bundy
Thou art.
Hey Sugar:
Prove to me that the air you breathe
Wasn't better served by the leaves of a tree.
You're but a breeder,

Who wastes the marrow of his bones
Jumping into these drums.
Please tell him:
Don't stand so (no)
Don't stand so (close)
Don't stand so close to me.
See, I know your children
Because I've been your children
And us children, hopeful children
Ain't worth the stretch marks baby.
'Cause we may sing these songs of protest,
Cast our ballots, too
Forgo meat and
Ride our bikes and
Get our band's stupid tattoo
But it means nothing,
Nothing,
When we get eaten by the sun.
Que sera
Que sera
For, whatever there is will soon be all gone.
So what's wrong
With a song
That asks wherefore and why have you lived this long?
A purpose?
You want a reason?
Stop believing.
Or stop needing the answers.
There are no answers
Except the sun, the sun, the sun.
While you sit on your couch
And wait up for your boy
We're polluting his mind with this
(noise).
I'll Clap When I'm Impressed
If it ain't broke, then break it.
Destroy it.
Smash a hammer through your stucco,
Dismantle,
Sledgehammer it.
A la Sacco,
A la Vanzetti,
A la me gone berserk
With my head in the clouds
Nursing acid rain bowels,
Me stuck in traffic after work.
Where each car seems just like a coffin,
Just like a hearse.
We just can't go on like this:
Clinging to paychecks just like they were your mother's tits.
(Buck by buck)
Straighten your A's.
(Cent by cent)
Straighten your laces.
(Bill by bill)
Straighten your shirt.
We're better.
We're better off.
We're better off dead
Than burning out.
Buck by buck.
Cent by cent.
Bill by bill.
Until your dead.
Pay for your water,
Pay for your gas,
You pay for everything,
Even your death.
Choking on the barrel of a gun
(Choking on the barrel of a gun)
Sounds like much more fun.
Lock, stock and choking on the barrel of a gun.
Take the motherfucking money,
I'll spill the blood.
Pyramid of Empties
Last call, last round.
Roofie's on the house.
Make sure that you've got your hair pulled back
Or your dad just might have
To pull your freshly drowned and maimed chunks of liver Out from your bangs.
And he won't understand
Why the check he wrote to pay for your books
Went straight up your button nose instead.
Jeremy spoke in class today and this is what he said:
I raped alice in chains with my nine inch nail
And now her reading rainbow's dead.
Schools for facts and figures.
Schools to multiply the odds of our demise.
No child gets left behind.
SATs to nonox-9.
From juicebox days to Columbine.
A pyramid of emtpies,
We're prime candidates for cyanide.
It's my fault for fucking up the kids.
It's my fault for buying in.
It's all my fault.
From the cradle to the grave:
Like a production line for gorgeous brains.
To be wild, oh, to break free.
To forsake all that they're teaching me to be.
It's all my fault.
(It's all your fault.)
I'm all to blame.
Saved by The Bouyancy Of Citrus
I'm in the red
I've got the blues
I'm token black
An early greying fool
I need an orange
I need a lime
I need a last name
That don't feel like such a crime
I feel 16
I feel 60
I feel 9 to 5
So sick of rent checks
So sick of life vests
So sick of 5 foot 9
Once was lost
Now am drowned .
Check, Please
"You clean up nice,"
she says to me with this
smug ass grin that means
she knows just how much
porn that it takes to get me off nowadays.
As the chance of a kiss disappears from her brain,
we bite and chew this night away.
"I like your new haircut,"
I say but what I mean is,
"Eat shit."
This ain't what they mean by love
and I don't seem the type that likes himself enough
to be loved.
Mademoiselle, sil vous plait, please excuse all the flesh I once ate.
But, avec moi, c'est la vie, my humble new diet ain't changing a thing.
What's compassion? What's a rouse? Cause I still ain't stuck in a bed with you.
I'd rather dine alone.
If meat is murder, what is love?
"Let's do this again sometime."
"Your place or mine?"
If meat is murder, what the fuck is love?
Opposable
Base.
How low can we go?
Fuck the Beatles, I'm an animal
An upright ape with opposable thumbs
To hold the clubs
To hold the guns
Swing low sweet chariot
God bless my DNA
Drunk drive my Chevy to the levee
Let the flood come and sweep me away
No this ain't the apocalypse
It's the way shit has always been
From Sodom to Saddam
Attila to Tienenmen
A quarter million years of human being
A quarter million years as a human stain
We use ten percent of our gorgeous brains
And leave the rest up to cocaine
Lucy in the sky
Got her hands on a new shotgun
Lucy in the sky
Got her hands on a Remington
Lucy in the sky
Her shiny diamonds drenched in blood
And I know where the wild things are
Don't look far
Don't look far
'Cause I got wisdom in my teeth
And terror in my wars
Yes, I know where the wild things are
Don't look far.
Don't look far.
There's a reason that it's hard to look in the mirror.
There's a reason that it's hard to go to the zoo
And there's a reason you want to pry open the cage
See, you should be there, too.
Cure For Cancer
It's all downhill
from here, old man.
Auf wiedersehen.
Two steps forward,
six feet underground.
Standing O,
Take a bow.
Lab coats,
machines
and all the chemotherapy
don't seem
to me
an answer to these tears you long to see.
So i ain't crying no more.
I'd pull out the plug
if i could muster up the love.
No one wants memories of
skid marks
pants pissed.
Jim Beam,
Mary Jane.
Wherefore art thou Kevorkian?
No way,
Jose,
it's not for me
this life spent basking in you agony.
Give me the longest walks.
Prescribe for me the shortest piers.
I ain't going out like that.
No way, not me, I'd rather die
And as i stood there by his bed,
bowls of Jell-o, crusts of bread,
stared straight into his eyes
and I wanted him to die.
And I felt the shame
Of such, such naiveté
that someone young,
that someone dumb,
someone my age
could feel so callously
to want to piss in the fountains of youth,
to dance all night on the graves of the dead,
to want to tear those pink ribbons to shreds.
And as he lay there in his bed,
80 pounds, half dead,
He said, "Bink, please hold my hand...
I don' think that you understand...
Oh, puneta, I've done all that I can
and i don't want to die."
Your're gonna die
You're gonna die
You're gonna.
Straight As She Wants To Be
A kiss is a kiss is a kiss.
Regardless of Joseph Smith.
And what I wouldn't give to love a woman like she does...
A kiss is a kiss is a kiss is a kiss.
On the lips.
Or on the lips.
Under The Affluence
Couch surfing will break your back
and there's not one night
in ten lonely years
that she's gone to sleep
in her bed upstairs.
It's piled high with clothes
that no longer fit.
Old christmas gifts
with tags still affixed.
She sleeps on the couch
and she dreams like a slave.
Dreams of her mortgage
it's jaws clamped round her vertebrae.
She's hollow,
she'd dyeing,
she's menopause-ing away.
Hey there, good looking
what's that microwave got cooking
for you and me tonight?
'Cause it seems like
you just might
stick your salt and pepper head inside.
That you might scream,
that you might
die just like sylvia,
die as a slave,
die a single mother,
a bleak divorcee.
Dig under her affluence and this is what you'll find:
five beds, four baths, three kids, do the math.
Just debt, regret, empty nest, a broken back.
I was not worth throwing away all of your dreams.
Teenage Porno Hunter
A small ziploc bag is all that it takes
for a father to seem less a man than mistake.
'Cause that's not the type of thing that you want to find
under bed
when your horny
and fifteen
with smut and pornography mind.
You want blow jobs not blow,
rather cum than cry.
Goliath
And if I raise my hand
It's cause I don't understand
Why all the grown-ups that I know
Believe in boy kings and this giant man
I'd gladly bow my head
Just show me the bones
I'm sorry Mrs. Steves
I just can't stand it down here on my knees
I like magic
Magicians
The parting of the sea
But your god ain't wrought nothing but blasphemy
Swear I'd gladly bow my head
Just show me dem bones
I like stained glass
I like grape juice
But I like questions
And I like proof
Bones
Oh, where are the bones?
Someone show me his bones
Please!
I've seen pharaohs
I've seen dodos
I've seen dinosaur bones
Full of marrow
Bones to fill the grave
Oh, someone show me his bones
So I can show someone my faith
Slings and stones
May break my bones
But these fables
These tales
This book won't save my soul
Hell she hath no fury like an East Orange man's firstborn
Goddamn me
Reprimand me
My detention set me free!
Bottom Of The 9th Ward
It's raining, it's pouring,
this story's getting oh so boring.
And what else did you expect?
When it rains, someone always gets wet.
So it's searchlights
or the shadows.
With a newscast like that, Dan, I'd rather the gallow.
'Cause i ain't seen a life vest in days
that ain't strapped round the eyewitness men
making dayjobs out of your dismay.
When the saints go marching into the streets
it's too bad they won't know how to swim.
It's pouring.
it's raining,
but from this couch it seems much more like entertaining.
Oh, what the fuck's wrong with me?
All these bodies float 'round my head, your town
and i still sleep so damned flawlessly.
When the saints go marching into the streets
I'll be the one fast asleep.
Too selfish to weep.
If I could, yes I would, but it seems I can't.
I’m sorry.
When the revolution comes to this land
(Oh lord, I want to be in that number)
When we rich go out and stack those sandbags
(I want to be in that number)
When we all have enough water to drink
(Please, please let me be in that number)
When our leaders learn to cry at our feet
(I want to be in that number)
When the saints go marching in.
Tarantula Type
This sickness that's inside of me
Ain't a sickness that's easy to see
No rash, no runs, no potpourri
Of symptoms
Of woes
No bloody stool
No bloody nose
Just cause you can't see it's there
Don't mean that that shit isn't there
Stitched into this birthday suit
Oh grandmother, how I miss you
Like a banshee
Sid and Nancy
My double helix is coming unglued
It's in your blood
It clogs your veins
Eats your gorgeous brains
And it will drag you straight to your grave
Quick
A head in the clouds
Is a foot in the grave
A head in the clouds
Is a foot in the grave
But a foot in the grave is where I'd rather be
If a head in the clouds means I'm sick
I'm not sick
You're the one that's sick
Rick, serve me my goddamn breakfast.
What Goes Up
I was there
I sucked the bodies up my nose
Asbestos
And femurs
And nylon pantyhose
I should have cried
I tried to cry
I should have cry
I could not cry
Not saying it's good
Not saying it's right
But I guess my body don't trade tears
For the pinstripe kind of life
What goes up
Liars
Liars
Set my skinny jeans (suit and tie) on fire
Ashes, ashes
We all fall downtown
What goes up...
No Vonneguts, No Glory
Cowboys or indians?
Pinkerton to taliban,
Tijuana to Nicaragua:
It smells like fear.
Vietnam to Afghanistan:
It tastes like tears.
They're crying, crying, they're crying their eyes.
They're dying, dying, they're dying to stay alive.
I have a dream,
I'm down on my knees,
choking,
gagging.
I hear a voice
stuck on repeat
it says,
"Place your right hand over your heart,
ready, begin,”
But I won't.
I won't pledge.
I won't pledge allegiance 'til
You pledge to never kill another human being
N.R.A. to Enola Gay:
The end is near.
Yes, I object,
just like Vonnegut,
I'll have none of it:
long live ice-9
The El Segundo Butterfly Habitat Preserve
I've seen the jet planes crash
and oil tankers galore.
I've seen mexicans in boxer shorts
with pacific ocean pompadours.
I've seen gay penguins fuck
and bison roam through golden gates.
Seen dogs die on my welcome mat.
Seen my best friend's girlfriend masturbate.
I've seen half-empty beds
(what good are dreams?)
I've seen friends stuck with mortgages
(what good are dreams?)
(thanks for nothing)
I've seen men make more out of dreams
(what good are dreams?)
(good for nothing)
Than dreams'll ever make of them.
And clearly, wearily
life is but a scheme
where you say there's
blue butterflies
where blue butterflies have never been.
Some with uncle sam
Me?
My uncle rick:
All I see is scattergoods
and all i smell is shit.
What good are dreams?
What good are dreams if they come true?
He says, what good are your dreams if all your dreams come true?

Bones to fill the grave
Oh, someone show me his bones
So I can show someone my faith
Slings and stones
May break my bones
But these fables
These tales
This book won't save my soul
Hell she hath no fury like an East Orange man's firstborn
Goddamn me
Reprimand me
My detention set me free!
Bottom Of The 9th Ward
It's raining, it's pouring,
this story's getting oh so boring.
And what else did you expect?
When it rains, someone always gets wet.
So it's searchlights
or the shadows.
With a newscast like that, Dan, I'd rather the gallow.
'Cause i ain't seen a life vest in days
that ain't strapped round the eyewitness men
making dayjobs out of your dismay.
When the saints go marching into the streets
it's too bad they won't know how to swim.
It's pouring.
it's raining,
but from this couch it seems much more like entertaining.
Oh, what the fuck's wrong with me?
All these bodies float 'round my head, your town
and i still sleep so damned flawlessly.
When the saints go marching into the streets
I'll be the one fast asleep.
Too selfish to weep.
If I could, yes I would, but it seems I can't.
I’m sorry.
When the revolution comes to this land
(Oh lord, I want to be in that number)
When we rich go out and stack those sandbags
(I want to be in that number)
When we all have enough water to drink
(Please, please let me be in that number)
When our leaders learn to cry at our feet
(I want to be in that number)
When the saints go marching in.
Tarantula Type
This sickness that's inside of me
Ain't a sickness that's easy to see
No rash, no runs, no potpourri
Of symptoms
Of woes
No bloody stool
No bloody nose
Just cause you can't see it's there
Don't mean that that shit isn't there
Stitched into this birthday suit
Oh grandmother, how I miss you
Like a banshee
Sid and Nancy
My double helix is coming unglued
It's in your blood
It clogs your veins
Eats your gorgeous brains
And it will drag you straight to your grave
Quick
A head in the clouds
Is a foot in the grave
A head in the clouds
Is a foot in the grave
But a foot in the grave is where I'd rather be
If a head in the clouds means I'm sick
I'm not sick
You're the one that's sick
Rick, serve me my goddamn breakfast.
What Goes Up
I was there
I sucked the bodies up my nose
Asbestos
And femurs
And nylon pantyhose
I should have cried
I tried to cry
I should have cry
I could not cry
Not saying it's good
Not saying it's right
But I guess my body don't trade tears
For the pinstripe kind of life
What goes up
Liars
Liars
Set my skinny jeans (suit and tie) on fire
Ashes, ashes
We all fall downtown
What goes up...
No Vonneguts, No Glory
Cowboys or indians?
Pinkerton to taliban,
Tijuana to Nicaragua:
It smells like fear.
Vietnam to Afghanistan:
It tastes like tears.
They're crying, crying, they're crying their eyes.
They're dying, dying, they're dying to stay alive.
I have a dream,
I'm down on my knees,
choking,
gagging.
I hear a voice
stuck on repeat
it says,
"Place your right hand over your heart,
ready, begin,”
But I won't.
I won't pledge.
I won't pledge allegiance 'til
You pledge to never kill another human being
N.R.A. to Enola Gay:
The end is near.
Yes, I object,
just like Vonnegut,
I'll have none of it:
long live ice-9
The El Segundo Butterfly Habitat Preserve
I've seen the jet planes crash
and oil tankers galore.
I've seen mexicans in boxer shorts
with pacific ocean pompadours.
I've seen gay penguins fuck
and bison roam through golden gates.
Seen dogs die on my welcome mat.
Seen my best friend's girlfriend masturbate.
I've seen half-empty beds
(what good are dreams?)
I've seen friends stuck with mortgages
(what good are dreams?)
(thanks for nothing)
I've seen men make more out of dreams
(what good are dreams?)
(good for nothing)
Than dreams'll ever make of them.
And clearly, wearily
life is but a scheme
where you say there's
blue butterflies
where blue butterflies have never been.
Some with uncle sam
Me?
My uncle rick:
All I see is scattergoods
and all i smell is shit.
What good are dreams?
What good are dreams if they come true?
He says, what good are your dreams if all your dreams come true?

Dangers Interview/ Dangers Entrevista (Al y Justin)
I apoligize for the bad language at the begginning of the video!! (try to stay clean next time)
Disculpenme por el mal lenguaje al comienzo del video!!
Entrevista con el mitad de Dangers from Julia Stephanie Cabrera on Vimeo.
Al fin lo termine !!
ESPAÑOL
Al: muy bien
smo: M**** esto va morir pero, voy a grabarlo como pueda
Al: No puedo hablar en español.. ( de alli murmando algo que no escuche)
smo: a quien le importa... (rei) Puedes entender?
Justin: si
Al: Inglés solamente
Justin: Yo, yo entiendo
smo: Estoy con Dangers ahora, estamos en Los Angeles, y no se cuanto tiempo va durar mi camara, por que ya esta muriendo (rei). Estos son Al y Justin, y quiero preguntarles algunas cosas por.. curiosidad-
P: ¿Cuánto tiempo han sido una banda?
Al: uhhh , desde 2005 casi - oh no, fue Diciembre de 2004 entonces...
Justin: Sólo he estado en la banda por un año
Al: 5 años
smo: En serio? (directamente a Justin)
Justin: Si
smo: Tu tocas? (a Justin)
Justin: Guitarra
smo: (señalando con mi dedo a Al) Vocales
Al: Hago voz, entonces 5 años (juntos)
P:? Hasta ahora, qué lugares han recorrido?
Al: Qué lugares hemos recorrido? Ummm mayormente tocamos en la costa oeste, por que es de donde nosotros somos originarios, de LA ( Los Angeles), vamos arriba y abajo de la Costa. Pero hicimos un gira por EEUU que incluyo Canada, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg. Nos conocimos (Al y Justin) con otras bandas en la costa este. En Vermont tocamos un show, que estuvo bastante chevere, uhhh solo Norte America.
Justin: México?
AL: No hemos tocado en Mexico todavia. Queremos, pero no hemos tocado en paises de Latino America . Solamente en el Norte de America.
(salté una parte por que no estaba tan segura de las palabras que dijeron)
P: Pero ustedes estuvieron en Europa por Graf Orlock? Alguien me dijo que Dangers fue con ellos?
Ambos: No, eso fue Ghostlimb
AL: El está en 3...(señalando el dedo a Justin)... el está en Ghostlimb, Graf Orlock y Dangers. Dangers debería ir a Australia ( yo vi todo los commentarios en su pagina diciendo que vayan a Australia)
Justin: Ojala en Invierno
Al: en Invierno
Justin: Su Verano, nuestro Invierno
Al: Esta afuera y Justin no lo sabe todavía, pero en algun momento iremos a Europa el próximo año.
P: Bueno, ustedes tienen algún plan en ir a Sur America?
Al: Uhhh, no se como hacerlo
Justin: Me encantaría (se nota en su cara)
Al: Si usted quiere que nosotros toquemos, así hubiere dos chicos, (que gustan a Dangers), nosotoros iremos a tocar.
smo: Fuck yeah, quiero ir (por supueso que quiero que toquen en Sur America)
P: Y yo me pregunto, que te da ese pasión? Es muy único por que a veces no puedes escuchar la persona solo en lo que aquella escribe y eso es lo que veo en su letras.
........................................................................................................................................................
I attempted at typing everything word for word. and this was it. AND after writing this in english in spanish I know I got mixed up so there are some incorrect words or sentences. THANK YOU MEL with some words.
ENGLISH
Al: aa muy bien
smo: crap this is gonna die (my camera) but I'll just f****** record as I can.
Al: I can't really speak in spanish.... (talking to Justin that it just sounds like mumbling)
smo: who cares,(laugh) can you understand?
Justin: "si"
Al: English only
Justin: "yo, yo entiendo" ( I understand)(laugh)
smo: (translated from Spanish) I am with Dangers right now and we are in Los Angeles (Inglewood). And I don't know how long my camera will last because its dieing (laugh). This is Al and Justin (showing the love) and I want to ask you some questions out of curiosity (and such - then their goes my transition from Spanish to English which sounds awkward)
Justin: I've only been in the band for a year
Al : 5 years
smo: Really? (at Justin)
Justin: yeah
smo: you play? (at Justin)
Justin: Guitar
smo: Vocals (pointing at al with my finger)
Al: Vocals I play, yeah so, 5 years
Q: So far what places have you toured to?
Al: where we've toured to? Umm mostley we play the west coast cause thats were we originate from, from LA so we go up and down the coast. But we did full U.S. that included Canada Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg. We met his (Justin's) other bands on the East coast. Vermont we played a show it was pretty sweet, uhh just North America
Justin: Mexico (?)
Al: No we haven't played Mexico, yet. We want to, we haven't played any latin speaking (waving hands) countries. We've only played North America
(I skiped a part I wasn't sure about a specific words they said)
Q: but you've been to Europe cuase of Graf Orlock? (shake their heads) Someone said Dangers went with them.?
Both: no that was Ghostlimb
Al: He's (pointing at Justin) in 3, no ... he's in Ghostlimb, Graf Orlock and Dangers. Dangers should be going to Australia (and I have seen the people calling out to them in comments)
Justin: Hopefully in the winter
Al: in the winter
Justin: Their summer, our winter
Al: (concentrated) it's outside and Justin doesn't know this (now he does) yet, but Europe sometime next year.
smo: alright
Q: Well do you have any planes in going to South America?
Al: UUhhh I don't know how to do it.
Justin: I would love to. (his face shows it)
AL: If you want us to come play, like there's two kids we'll come down and play
smo: fuck yeah I want to go (of course I want them to play there but I want more kids too like them as well)
Justin: I've been keeping your contacts in my wallet ( I gave Justin a note with two record labels from Peru, Contraorden Discos and Million Days Booking) in hopes in starting that up and uhh, our friends in Rogue State they went down there.
smo: yeah I was with them
Justin: Rogue State, Dogs of Ire
smo: I was with them
Justin: You were there? oh
smo: I was with them! I ate with them (laughing)
Justin: that's awesome,[ you guys like ate pizza]
smo: Let me say this before anyone gets any ideas
Q: You guys are not sxe or are you?
Al: I am (raises his hand)
smo: ok cause I was gonna say cause there are "X's" on your hands
Justin: I'm not
smo: so I hope their not like " o their straight edge"
Al: umm well even
Justin: They marked my hand at the door
Al: I don't know if I am, I've never drank in my life and I've never done any drugs. And I've listen to Minor Threat since I was 13, so I don't know if that counts.
Justin: I also love Minor Threat but,
Al: and beers (looking at him)
Justin: I made a conscious decision that it doesn't change my person so, it's not an issue.
smo:(and I wish I would of edited this out) Well, just in general, you have "x's" and I don't really, I don't drink like crazy (and I have only got drunk once since August for Melanie's bday) I know how to control myself. It's all about control, I think its all about control in your head.(they started to laugh [at me] )
Justn: Pardoning yourself
AL: it's like "I'm sorry" (me joden ! jaja ) no .. (rei) yeah. Actually it's kind of strange cause we never, I've never even talked about that
smo: Really ? well you don't call yourself a straight edge band
Al: no
Justin: yeah , their's three of us that definetly arn't
Al: yeah (Justin se rie).. It's a pretty- it's an none issue for that. I think its a stupid thing, and if you listen to a couple of our songs that we talk about, I think straight edge is a pretty stupid thing to uhh care about
Justin: It's kind of an obviouse reason (if i heard that correctly?)
Q: Well you do a lot of the booking (at Justin)?no?
Justin: Uhh some stuff, a little bit for us (pointing at AL). He does a lot of stuff for Dangers.
AL: It's about 50/50 aaa well what happened was, basically, like I ...I've done alot of the work for booking since we started, cuase Justin wasn't in the band and then about - We've never had a permanent guitarrist, really, cause I play guitar as well. So I would write alot of the songs on guitar and then we'll find people that wanted to be in our band. And then what happened was, umm, we got tired of that and uh Justin and I started becoming closer friends because we played a bunch of shows with Graf Orlock and Ghostlimb. And um it kind of just happened, they were like " you want to be in the band" and he said "sure". So now and I are alot alike where doing band stuff isn't a lot of work for us. It's not fun, but it's interesting
smo: you like it
AL: and so I do a lot of the booking and Justin has taken over a lot of the merch and a lot of - he'll book shows too. Or we'll play with Graf Orlock a lot of the times too..It's a pretty sweet system.
Justin: It's a self mutual assitance
smo: You guys are like brothers (they look at each other and pound it) [rei]. I read the new songs, I think I even left a comment, I was like "oo your really good". I think your areally good writer
AL: thank you
smo: Like in general, umm, and of all music besides Have Heart ( and they are not the only ones this just came off the top of my head) like I think I've seen a lot of passion in your songs.
P:And I was wondering, you know, what gives you that? Like, it's really unique, you can't really hear peoples voices sometimes in what they write so I see that in your writing.
Al: Umm yeah, for me, I guess I've been really moves by music in my life and so when I - that's why I was excited to- from a younge age to play music. I mean...(music from the truck interupted us) wasn't quiet this music but I've always been really interested in music and my live has been changed becuase of music. Umm so I guess when I approach writing lyrics it's with the idea that you can actually affect people's lives and the only thing that I ever try to do when I'm actually writing lyrics is to be honest and I think something that a lot of bands don't do or .. I think a lot of bands are satisfied with just being uhh having choruses that people can repeat or having the most people sing a along and we do have a fair amount of people that know our lyrics, I guess it shows, but for me. I don't really ever give a shit about that and I don't - it's kind of weird when people are singing back a lot of our lyrics because they don't neccesarily - Like there's a song where I use the term "nigger" and I think that a lot of people think it's a tongue and cheeks
smo: "half-brother, half-cop"
Al: yeah, I think a lot of people think it's tongue and cheek- we were talking about this the other day, like "o he's talking about how police might say that" but really I am half black, so it's actually about my half brother and about things that are actually happening in our lives, but for me, umm, I guess the example that I've had in my life were bands that are just being honest, so. That's the threshold that I try to come at. It took, on the new record we just did, well actually you were talking about, it took probably about a month and a half to do the music part of it and then it took me about 4 months to write all the lyrics. It's - it's a really really hard thing to do...
smo: It sounds like it will be great
Justin: Alsoit's uhh , I mean I didn't write the lyrics of the record and I think we talked about this quite a while
Q:But did you also compose some of the music?
Justin: uhhh, I mostly- because he's written most stuff like from the get-go and I think, uhh, my job in this was to play and veto things or I don't make addendums when needed so uhh
AL: your your like a very critical editor
Justin: perhaps (laughs). Back with the- the weird thing though like I think the hardest thing to do with lyrics like whatever band it is, it to write something uhh, well to be honest first and, two, to have your own style that's kind of like true to the way that your write (looks at Al, and he nods his head). Which is problamatic because I know, it's like you read any brand of hardcore record or something. Like, it's kind of like rehashed shit, rehashed ideas that don't make any sense, when there like taken out of- they're just out of context phrasing that sound cool. Where is like, I think the way that we both look at writing lyrics is something thats more like, uhh, Propaghandi or something that is political or issue based but it's like injected with something personal, that makes it like kind of worth listening to-
smo: yeah
Justin: which I think is the best kind of way to do something like that
Al: And I've tried a lot to get away from being didactic cause, uhh, or like (looking as Justin) what's the word you called me the other day? Uhh talks down to people?
Justin: Condescending
Al: Condescending, yeah- cuase I tend to be pretty condescending so, I try to, at least in the lyrics step back and try to be as, umm...Like as if I could look in the mirror and like say that to myself I guess
Justin: objectivity
Al: Yeah- and it's hard to - the other thing I was gonna say about writting, like I read a lot and I write other things that arn't lyrics and umm what I'm always conscious of is a lot of people will wear their influences and I still do that alot of the time too but, I think the goal is to try and eat your influences so like instead of just having the same rhyme pattern, having the same topics. It's more understanding what other people have done before you and then ingesting that and having it live with you for a long enough time where when you go to write your own thing it, it isn't a repeat or a rehash it's its' own thing. I think sometimes we succeed in that, not all the time
smo: You guys, I think you guys are really good. It's my first time seeing you - I'm really happy about that umm (Justin made a face, haha, I probably didn't sound so happy).
smo: This is like a side thing, kind of like your opinion. What do you think - (I'm making hand motions that Al makes fun) yeah
Al: Move your camera over here
smo: I'm very hand signal aaa yeah-
P: What do you think about (I laugh) - What do you think about girls that participate in the shows? That literally like, they do something, they're apart of it, their in the pit, their singing. I don't know I haven't seen how they are ( well I haven't seen enough girls to know how some are)
Al: Do those exist? (Looking at Justin) [que sarcastico ! jaja]
Justin: (raised his finger, looking at Al) Can I answer this?
Al: yeah
smo: yeah
Al: ( he said something, but I couldn't catch what he said)
Justin: (re-positioning himself ja) Umm I think it's like - you don't notice that ?
Al: I didn't know that the girls existed.
Justin: Yeah, I think, I think it's totally awesome cuase uhh (Al laughs) well because
Al: Girls are cool
Justin: Before like Gorlock, Ghostlimb and I gues Dangers. More of the scenes that were involved of, involved with like the music was almost like completely male. Which is the case still, sometimes, in some places depending on where you are but I noticed that at least over time in my experience there's been a lot more womxn and girls at shows, which is like pretty awesome because it often comes off as just like, completely masculine, -
smo: machista
Justin: destructive and really like puerile, you know what I mean, but umm which it is for the most part but, I think people getting involved and like, having all types of weird people there - especially like at Dangers' shows, I think, there's a lot of younger people, kind of older people, girls, guys
AL: I have two ideas that stand from that too. One, I end up talking a lot about sex, so I appologize, uhh but - But it is like a trangential (?) idea, where like a lot of people will talk or like- I don't know the facts on this or the numbers on it but like the idea exists, like "o girls don't watch porn" ( I laughed because I thought of some girls that I knew) or its like, that that's more a masculine thing or a more male oriented thing, which I think is absolute bullshit cause those desires or like sexual feelings exist in all of us and it's just that society has sort of made it more of an acceptable thing for men. And I think it's the same is with loud music and or aggressive music. Whereby, uhh, girls feel the same way sort of frustration and anger that everyone else does and girls- I mean, your ears are no different than our ears so, it's been a curious thing to me that girls haven't felt comfortable or girls haven't been, uhh, apart of louder music as much as males have and I don't know what that says about - If it's hormones or if it's just like society imposing it's will upon, like whats acceptable or not but, for me, uhh, I get really stoked whenever there's a girls thats around at shows- not romantically. Like I get excited that , ummm
smo: It's not just boys..
Justin: yeah
Al: Yeah...Well and it also- my mom once- one of the things that I always think that's interesting, like my mom is that like, good, like "good bands", not good hardcore bands or punk bands or loud bands, like a good band will have fans of all different varieties. Like Rolling Stones, have like 12 year old fans, that are Asian in Japan and they've got, you know, 9(0?) year old men in the Bayou that are fans of their music.Not that I necessarily have that as a goal for Dangers, but I think it's pretty cool the larger, uhh
smo: the variety
Al: section of people, you know- the variety of human beings that are affected by music. That's more successful to me, not the amount but the variety, I guess
Justin: I think also, uhh, a comment on the male vs. female like ratio; That since forever particularly in like punk and hardcore, I guess since hardcore was comming up in like the early 80's that was like males kind of , in a piss off way cornered the market on, you know, on aggressive anger that way and umm (Al smirks jaja)- It's true though, like it's still I think when people say " oh its like a female- fronted hardcore"
Al: yeah (his reaction is exactly how I feel about that word)
Justin: you know they have to make that, you know, umm, -
Al: Look Back And Laugh, it's like "oo that's the band with that chick singer
Justin: yeah yeah
smo: yeah
Justin: instead of being, like a bunch of bands that have a bunch of people they don't even really talk about. It's like, it kind of feel like, uuhh (thinking) like, Mexican hardcore band like
smo: you mean like basketball and womxns basketball ? (I remembered something I heard, i just felt like stating that)
Justin: Like, it would be nice if all those things weren't, like they did not need to be said
Al: yeah
Justin: but I mean within that issue is that you have to make it acceptable and not just male, like a bunch of sweaty , like basement world of warcraft pre-teens, like chocking each other out at a show - (cut off )
Al: To be fair too though. If their's a girl, like you said, in the pit or like near us when we play
smo: Well your gonna see me in there, (Justin laughs) so hands down (i laugh)
Al: I, I, well I've been known- I mean there are different politics and I've definitely been privy to girls getting upset by certain things that I might have done. Like I've kissed dudes when we're playing (have yet to see that jaja) uhh, not on- I just kind do stuff and I don't think about it and then I - a friend of ours whose a girl, I ended up kissing I guess, and I don't remember doing it and it got us into- like she got really upset- so I don't know. I'm cool if you come up and sing along, just like understand that I, we, treat everyone
Justin: equally abusive (perfect response jaja)
smo: Yeah- Fuck you (me laughing - then drifting off into this pathetic type of new laugh that I have never heard before)
Question before my camera died: Ok, umm, the song "Half-brother, Half-Cop", that was like the song that got me into you guys, for me it was the song. So I just wanted to know that song was about? BUT I"M go
Basically the song is about his half-brother and he told me of how he had an issue with having control over things. That later on he joined the police department which rose some of the frustration between him and his brother. Since his brother would make discriminating comments while telling the stories of what he did while on duty. Putting all the blame on them.
"People think that it's about police and discrimination, but its about the people in those positions of power. They are not all that bad, they're humans"
........................................................................................................................................................
This is the video Al recorded. My video came out way to long so I have to cut that up since it was half the set or maybe almost the whole set.
Esto es el Ep de Dangers
Este es el video que Al grabo, el video que yo grabe es muy largo (casi todo el set) que necesito cortarlo.
Tambien aqui esta las nuevas canciones de su nuevo disco, Messy, Isn't It que pronto saldra !!!
Disculpenme por el mal lenguaje al comienzo del video!!
Al fin lo termine !!

smo: si estaba con ellos
Justin: Rogue State y Dogs or Ire
smo: Estaba con ellos
Justin: ¿Estabas allí? oh
smo: Estaba con ellos! Comí con ellos (riendo)
Justin: Eso es increíble
smo: Dejame decir eso antes de que alguien forma las idea
P: Ustedes no son straight edge o si?
Al: Yo si, (levanta su mano como un escolar)
smo: ok, por que iba decir que hay "X's" en tus manos
Justin: Yo no soy
smo: ojala que no piensan "no son straight edge" (por ver el video)
Al: umm bueno incluso
Justin: marcaron mi mano en la puerta
Al: Yo no se si soy, nunca he tomado en mi vida y yo nunca he probado algun droga. Y he escuchado a Minor Threat desde que tenia 13 años, entonces no se si eso cuenta.
Justin: Tambien me encanta Minor Threat pero, ...
Al: y cervezas (mirando a su direction)
Justin: He hecho una decisión consciente que eso no cambia la persona que soy, entonces no es una cuestión.
smo: (no se por que he dicho esto si casi nunca tomo y hablo como si tomo de vez en cuando, si desde que regresé a CA tome 2 veces) Bueno, en general, tienes las "x's" en tus manos, (que significa nada solamente que pagaron su entrada). Realmente, realmente no tomo como loca, y se como controlarme. Esta todo en controlarte, yo pienso que esta en tener control de tu mente.
(empezaron a reir [de mi jaja])
Justin: perdonada
Al: es como " perdoname.." (me joden!) no ... (rie) si. En realidad es un poco raro por que nosotros nunca... Nunca hemos hablado de eso
smo: En serio? Bueno, no te llamas una banda de sxe?
Al: no
Justin: si, ay tres de nosotros que difinitivamente no son
Al: si, (justin se rie)... Es algo .. que no es problemas para nosotros. Yo creo que es un estupidez, y si usted escuchan un par de nuestras canciones sobre lo que nosotros hablamos. Creo que el straight edge es tonteria en preocuparse en [solamente dice que es algo en ti mismo no tienes que dar todo por el sxe como militantes, tienes que procuparte mas de tí mismo]
Justin: Es una razon un poco obvia (si lo escuche correctamente en el video)
P: Bueno, usted hace la mayoria del booking? (directamente a Justin) No?
Justin: uhh agunas cosas (por que el esta en otras bandas), un poco para nosotros (para Dangers). El (AL) hace un monton de cosas para Dangers.
Al: Es alrededor de 50/50..lo que paso fue, basicamente, Yo he hecho la mayoria del trabajo en booking desde que nosotros comenzamos, por que Justin no era parte de la banda y luego- Nunca tuvimos una guitarista permanente, en realidad, por que yo toco guitarra tambien. Entonces, Yo escribi muchas de las canciones en guitarra y luego buscamos alguien que quisiera ser parte de nuestra banda. Y lo que paso fue que, mmm, nos cansamos de eso y Justin y yo empezamos a ser amigos mas cercanos por que tocamos en un monton de show con Graf Orlock y Ghostlimb. Y entonces fue como de casualidad, estabamos como "quieres ser parte de la banda" y el dijo que si. Ahora Justin y yo somos muy parecidos en donde hacemos cosas de bandas que no es mucho trabajo para nosotros. No es divertido, pero es interesante
smo: te gusta hacerlo
Al: Entonces yo hago mucho del booking y Justin esta en cargo del merch y el hace las reservas tambien. O tocamos con Graf Orlock mucha de las veses ...
Justin: Es un sistema mutual
smo: ustedes son como hermanos (se miran y enseñan su amor de hermanos JAJA ). Lei tus nuevas canciones, y pienso que te deje un commentario diciendo "son realmente buenas". Creo que eres un buen escritor
Al: Gracias
smo: Como en general, entre toda la musica (entre Hardcore) ademas de Have Heart ( y hay muchas bandas pero esto fue lo que entro en mi cabeza sobre la tema) creo que he visto mucha pasión en tus canciones.
smo: si estaba con ellos
Justin: Rogue State y Dogs or Ire
smo: Estaba con ellos
Justin: ¿Estabas allí? oh
smo: Estaba con ellos! Comí con ellos (riendo)
Justin: Eso es increíble
smo: Dejame decir eso antes de que alguien forma las idea
P: Ustedes no son straight edge o si?
Al: Yo si, (levanta su mano como un escolar)
smo: ok, por que iba decir que hay "X's" en tus manos
Justin: Yo no soy
smo: ojala que no piensan "no son straight edge" (por ver el video)
Al: umm bueno incluso
Justin: marcaron mi mano en la puerta
Al: Yo no se si soy, nunca he tomado en mi vida y yo nunca he probado algun droga. Y he escuchado a Minor Threat desde que tenia 13 años, entonces no se si eso cuenta.
Justin: Tambien me encanta Minor Threat pero, ...
Al: y cervezas (mirando a su direction)
Justin: He hecho una decisión consciente que eso no cambia la persona que soy, entonces no es una cuestión.

Al: Gracias
smo: Como en general, entre toda la musica (entre Hardcore) ademas de Have Heart ( y hay muchas bandas pero esto fue lo que entro en mi cabeza sobre la tema) creo que he visto mucha pasión en tus canciones.
P: Y yo me pregunto, que te da ese pasión? Es muy único por que a veces no puedes escuchar la persona solo en lo que aquella escribe y eso es lo que veo en su letras.
Al: Mmm si, para mi, creo que he estado realmente conmovido por la música en mi vida y así que cuando me- por eso me entusiasmó cuando era un adolescente para tocar musica. Quiero decir...(la musica del camion nos distrajo) no era esta música pero siempre he estado muy interesado en la música y mi vida he cambiado por la música. Supongo que cuando me acerco a escribir letras es con la idea de que realmente puede afectar las vida de algun persona y el unica cosa que siempre trato de hacer cuando realmente estoy escribiendo letras es ser honesto y pienso, que muchas bandas no lo hacen - creo que muchas bandas están satisfechas con ser, mmmm , con coros que la gente puede repetir o que la mayoria de la gente canta. Y nosotros tenemos un buen numero de personas que saben las letras, supongo que muestra, pero para mi, realmente no me importa una m***** sobre eso y es un poco raro cuando las personas están cantando nuestras letras ya que no necesariamente - como hay un cancion en donde uso el termino "nigger" (negro) y creo mucha gente piensa que es un lengua y cachete-
smo: "half-brother, half-cop" (titulo del cancion)
Al: Si, creo que mucha gente piensa que es lengua y cachete- estábamos hablando de esto el otro día. Donde ellos piensan como, " el esta hablando de como la policía puede decir eso" pero realmente soy medio moreno por lo que es realmente sobre mi medio hermano y las cosas que realmente están pasando en nuestra vida. Entonces para mi, umm, supongo que el ejemplo que yo tuve en mi vida fueron bandas honestas, así que es el umbral al que trato de llegar. Como en el nuevo disco que hicimos, del que estabamos hablando, tomó probablemente un mes y medio en hacer la parte del música y me tomó 4 meses en escribir todas las letras. Es, Es realmente difícil de hacer.
smo: Parece que va ser genial.
Justin: Tambien es, uh, quiero decir no escribí las letras del disco, pienso que nosotros hemos hablado bastante y hemos llegado a un acuerdo...-
P: Usted compuso parte de la musica? (a Justin)
Justin: Aaa, yo sobre todo, por que el escribe la mayoria de cosas desde el principio y pienso que mi trabajo en esto fue para tocar y vetar cosas o yo hago adiciones cuando necesario. Entonces aaa,
Al: Tu eres como un editor muy crítico
Justin: (rie) Tal vez. De vuelta al tema, lo raro como, es como si, creo que lo más difícil de hacer son las letras. Como cualquier banda que sea, para escribir algo, hay que ser honesto primero y segundo es tener tu propio estilo que sea verdadero el como escribes. Que es problemático, por que yo no se como tu lees cualquier disco hardcore o algo, y es como m*****refrito, como refrito ideas que no tienen ningún sentido. Estan sacado de- justamente son frases fuera de su contexto que suena bien. Cuando es como creo que la forma en que ambos buscamos en escribir letras es algo mas parecido a Propaghandi que es politico o de temas de acuerdo, pero es como inyectado con algo personal. Eso hace que valga la pena escuchar..
smo: si
Justin: Yo pienso que es la mejor manera de hacer algo así. (el pensamiento de escribir letras)
Al: Y yo he tratado de dejar de ser riguroso por que, aaaaa, o como aaaa (mirando a Justin). Que es esa palabra que me llamaste el otro dia? Hablar bajo de la gente?
Justin: Condescendiente
Al: Condescendiente, por que yo tiendo de ser algo condescendiente que trato de - al menos en mis letras, de tomar un paso atrás y tratar de, mmm, como si yo pudiera mirar en el espejo y decirlo a yo mismo, supongo
Justin: objetividad
Al: Y es difícil de - a las otras cosas que iba decir sobre escribir, como yo leo mucho y escribo otras cosas en vez de letras (para los canciones). Y mmm lo que siempre estoy consciente es de que mucha de la gente lleva puesta sus influencias y yo todavía lo hago una gran parte de tiempo también pero pienso que la meta es de tratar y comer tus influencias. Entonces en vez de simplemente tener la misma rima o los mismos temas. Es mas entender lo que la gente ha hecho antes que tu y luego de que la ingesta y que tengan que vivir contigo por un tiempo suficientemente largo y cuando vas a escribir tu propias cosas no sera un repetido y refrito. Es tu propio material y - pienso que a veces tenemos éxito en eso, pero no todo el tiempo, pero lo intentamos.
smo: Yo creo que ustedes son realmente buenos. Es mi primera vez en verlos a ustedes (en vivo), estoy contenta de eso (no se por que Justin puso una cara jaja). Mmmm, eso es algo de costado como tus opiniones- que piensas de- si (rei) (hice movimientos con mi mano que Al burlo de mi un poco)
Al: mueve la camara por aqui
smo: Soy muy de expresiva con mis manos -
P: Que piensas de (rei)- ¿Qué piensan ustedes acerca de las chicas que participan en las shows? Que literalmente hagan algo, son parte de eso, que estén el pit, cantando - no se no he visto (muchas en saber) como son (what the hell- bah)
Al: Esas existen?
Justin: ¿Puedo responder? (aww que lindo! se nota como queria responder a mi pregunta jaja)
Al: Si
smo: si
Al: Nunca me ha dado cuenta de eso
Justin: Mmm, pienso que es como- No te diste cuenta en eso? ( a Al)
Al: No me di cuenta de que la chicas existian? (jaja que sarcastico)
Justin: si, me parece totalmente genial mm bueno por que (Al rie)
Al: Las chicas son chevere
Justin: antes de Graf Orlock, Ghostlimb, y Dangers como la musica- mas de la escenas que nosotros fuimos parte, estar involucrado en la música era casi completamente masculino, que es el caso todavía. En algunos lugares dependiendo en donde estes, pero me di cuenta que con el tiempo en mi experiencia ha sido que mas chicas y mujeres estan el los tocadas. Que es algo genial por que aparece como si fuera completamente masculino.
smo: machismo
Justin: destructivo y pueril ...tu sabes lo que digo? Que es en su mayor parte pero, yo creo que la gente es parte y como, con todo tipo de gente extraña que - especialmente como en tocadas de Dangers, yo pienso que hay mucha gente mas joven, algo de gente mayor, chicas, chicos
Al: Tengo dos ideas que se destacan por eso también. Uno, termino hablando demasiado de sexo, así que discúlpame, mmm, pero - Pero es como un idea transgential, donde mucha gente habla por como - No se los hechos en esto o los numeros pero la idea existe, como " las chicas no ven porno", (rei por que recorde unas cuantas chicas que conosco), o como que es algo más de hombres, que creo que es mentira absoluta por que esos deseos o sentimientos sexuales existen en todos nosotros y es solo que la sociedad lo ha hecho una cosa aceptable para los hombres, y creo que es lo mismo con la música fuerte y agresiva. Por lo cual, las chicas sienten la misma manera de frustración y cólera que todos los demás - Lo que digo es, sus oídos no son diferentes de nuestros oídos, entonces, ha sido una cosa curiosa para mi que las chicas no se sentían cómodas o las chicas no han sido, mm, parte de la música fuerte tanto como los chicos y no se de que se trata eso- si son hormonas o si es simplemente la sociedad que impone su voluntad sobre, lo que es aceptable o no. Pero para mi, mmm, me pongo muy avivado (si eso defina "stoked") siempre que hay chicas en las tocadas- no románticamente. Como me emociono, mmm-
smo: Que no es sólo los chicos .
Justin: si
Al: Si- Bien y tambien- mi mama una vez me dijo-- una de las cosas que yo siempre pienso que es interesante, como mi madre dice que, "buenas bandas", no buenas bandas de hardcore o, bandas de punk, o bandas de musica fuerte, como un buena banda tendrá fans de todas las variedades. Como Rolling Stones, que tiene como niños de 12 años que son de Japon y, tu sabes, hombres de 90 años en el Bayou que tambien son fans de su musica. No es una meta que necesariamente tengo para Dangers, pero creo que es bastante interesante que la mayor, mmm (pensando)
smo: variedad?
Al: Sector de gente, tu sabes- la variedad de seres humanos que están afectados por la música. Eso, para mi es mas exitoso, no la cantidad sino la variedad, supongo
Justin: Tambien pienso, tengo un comentario sobre la relación entre hombre vs. mujer. Desde casi siempre en particular en el punk y hardcore, supongo desde que el hardcore estaba saliendo en los años 80's, era como especie de cosa de hombres, en una manera enojado acorralado el mercado, de la ira de esa manera agresiva y mmm (AL sonrie)- Aunque es cierto, como, yo pienso cuando gente dice " o es como female-fronted hardcore", (hadcore con cantantes femeninas)
Al: si (el reaction de Al sobre este palabra fue exactamente lo que yo siento)
Justin: usted sabes tiene que hacer este, tu sabes.... mmm (pensando)
Al: Look Back And Laugh, es como " oo o ese banda con la chica que canta"
Justin: si, si
smo: si
Justin: en ves de ser, como un monton de bandas que tienen gente de la que casi nadie habla. Es como, lo siento como, mm, "como una banda Mexican hardcore", [con las etiquetas, en ves que decir hardcore tienen que decir "mexican ...."]
smo: usted dice como tienen basketball y basketball de mujeres?
Justin: Como, sería bueno que todas esas cosas no eran, como que no hay que decir
Al: si
Justin: Pero lo que quiero decir es que dentro de esos problemas es que tienes que hacerlo aceptable y no simplemente masculino, como un montón de chicos sudorosos, como en el sotano adolescentes que juegan Wold Of Warcraft, como asfixia entre sí en las tocadas.. (Al lo corto)
AL: Yo...yo, bueno sabía- Lo que quiero decir es que que hay políticas diferentes y he sido, sin duda al tanto de las chicas molestarse por ciertas cosas que yo podría haber hecho. Como, yo he besado chicas mientras que estamos tocando, mm, no en- Yo solo hago cosas y no pienso en ello y luego yo - una amiga nuestra, yo acabe besándola, supongo, y no lo recuerdo hacerlo y nos metió en...-como ella se enojo y- entonces yo no se. Me parece bien si tu vienes adelante a contar, solamente entiende que yo, nosotros, tratar a todos...
Justin: igualmente abusivos
Al: si - "Fuck you" ( empece a reir)
La pregunta antes que mi camara murio: Ok, mmm, la cancion "Half-brother, Half-Cop", eso fue la cancion que me metió en su música, para mi eso fue "la cancion". Entonces quería saber de que realmente trato ese cancion?
smo: "half-brother, half-cop" (titulo del cancion)
Al: Si, creo que mucha gente piensa que es lengua y cachete- estábamos hablando de esto el otro día. Donde ellos piensan como, " el esta hablando de como la policía puede decir eso" pero realmente soy medio moreno por lo que es realmente sobre mi medio hermano y las cosas que realmente están pasando en nuestra vida.

La pregunta antes que mi camara murio: Ok, mmm, la cancion "Half-brother, Half-Cop", eso fue la cancion que me metió en su música, para mi eso fue "la cancion". Entonces quería saber de que realmente trato ese cancion?
[esto fue cuando mi camara murio pero seguimos hablando y tome notas]
Aparte de lo que piensen los demás de esa canción me explico Al, de lo que realmente era sobre de. Pido disculpas si hay algo incorrecto.
Básicamente la canción trata de su su medio hermano y el me contó desde que fueron niños siempre tuvo problemas de querer tener control sobre las cosas. Que luego cuando su hermano ingreso a la policía la frustración entre hermanos creció. Por que su hermano llego a la casa y contó las historias de lo que paso mientras trabajaba pero en una manera de discriminación (llamando un latino beaner, wetback cosas así) y culpando a la gente.
"Piensan que es sobre policías y discriminación.. pero es por la gente que estan en las posiciones de poder. No todos son tan malos, son seres humanos"
En general, trata de algo actual que en realidad sucedio entre su familia. No se trata de "a la mierda los policias"
........................................................................................................................................................
Al: aa muy bien
smo: crap this is gonna die (my camera) but I'll just f****** record as I can.
Al: I can't really speak in spanish.... (talking to Justin that it just sounds like mumbling)
smo: who cares,(laugh) can you understand?
Justin: "si"
Al: English only
Justin: "yo, yo entiendo" ( I understand)(laugh)
smo: (translated from Spanish) I am with Dangers right now and we are in Los Angeles (Inglewood). And I don't know how long my camera will last because its dieing (laugh). This is Al and Justin (showing the love) and I want to ask you some questions out of curiosity (and such - then their goes my transition from Spanish to English which sounds awkward)
Q: How long have you been a band?
Al: Uhh Since 2005 so almost - oh no, it was December of 2004 so...Justin: I've only been in the band for a year
Al : 5 years
smo: Really? (at Justin)
Justin: yeah
smo: you play? (at Justin)
Justin: Guitar
smo: Vocals (pointing at al with my finger)
Al: Vocals I play, yeah so, 5 years
Q: So far what places have you toured to?
Al: where we've toured to? Umm mostley we play the west coast cause thats were we originate from, from LA so we go up and down the coast. But we did full U.S. that included Canada Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg. We met his (Justin's) other bands on the East coast. Vermont we played a show it was pretty sweet, uhh just North America
Justin: Mexico (?)
Al: No we haven't played Mexico, yet. We want to, we haven't played any latin speaking (waving hands) countries. We've only played North America
(I skiped a part I wasn't sure about a specific words they said)
Q: but you've been to Europe cuase of Graf Orlock? (shake their heads) Someone said Dangers went with them.?
Both: no that was Ghostlimb
Al: He's (pointing at Justin) in 3, no ... he's in Ghostlimb, Graf Orlock and Dangers. Dangers should be going to Australia (and I have seen the people calling out to them in comments)
Justin: Hopefully in the winter
Al: in the winter
Justin: Their summer, our winter
Al: (concentrated) it's outside and Justin doesn't know this (now he does) yet, but Europe sometime next year.
smo: alright
Q: Well do you have any planes in going to South America?
Al: UUhhh I don't know how to do it.
Justin: I would love to. (his face shows it)
AL: If you want us to come play, like there's two kids we'll come down and play
smo: fuck yeah I want to go (of course I want them to play there but I want more kids too like them as well)
Justin: I've been keeping your contacts in my wallet ( I gave Justin a note with two record labels from Peru, Contraorden Discos and Million Days Booking) in hopes in starting that up and uhh, our friends in Rogue State they went down there.
smo: yeah I was with them
Justin: Rogue State, Dogs of Ire
smo: I was with them
Justin: You were there? oh
smo: I was with them! I ate with them (laughing)
Justin: that's awesome,[ you guys like ate pizza]
smo: Let me say this before anyone gets any ideas
Q: You guys are not sxe or are you?
Al: I am (raises his hand)
smo: ok cause I was gonna say cause there are "X's" on your hands
Justin: I'm not
smo: so I hope their not like " o their straight edge"
Al: umm well even
Justin: They marked my hand at the door
Al: I don't know if I am, I've never drank in my life and I've never done any drugs. And I've listen to Minor Threat since I was 13, so I don't know if that counts.
Justin: I also love Minor Threat but,
Al: and beers (looking at him)
Justin: I made a conscious decision that it doesn't change my person so, it's not an issue.
smo:(and I wish I would of edited this out) Well, just in general, you have "x's" and I don't really, I don't drink like crazy (and I have only got drunk once since August for Melanie's bday) I know how to control myself. It's all about control, I think its all about control in your head.(they started to laugh [at me] )
Justn: Pardoning yourself
AL: it's like "I'm sorry" (me joden ! jaja ) no .. (rei) yeah. Actually it's kind of strange cause we never, I've never even talked about that
smo: Really ? well you don't call yourself a straight edge band
Al: no
Justin: yeah , their's three of us that definetly arn't
Al: yeah (Justin se rie).. It's a pretty- it's an none issue for that. I think its a stupid thing, and if you listen to a couple of our songs that we talk about, I think straight edge is a pretty stupid thing to uhh care about
Justin: It's kind of an obviouse reason (if i heard that correctly?)
Q: Well you do a lot of the booking (at Justin)?no?
Justin: Uhh some stuff, a little bit for us (pointing at AL). He does a lot of stuff for Dangers.
AL: It's about 50/50 aaa well what happened was, basically, like I ...I've done alot of the work for booking since we started, cuase Justin wasn't in the band and then about - We've never had a permanent guitarrist, really, cause I play guitar as well. So I would write alot of the songs on guitar and then we'll find people that wanted to be in our band. And then what happened was, umm, we got tired of that and uh Justin and I started becoming closer friends because we played a bunch of shows with Graf Orlock and Ghostlimb. And um it kind of just happened, they were like " you want to be in the band" and he said "sure". So now and I are alot alike where doing band stuff isn't a lot of work for us. It's not fun, but it's interesting
smo: you like it
AL: and so I do a lot of the booking and Justin has taken over a lot of the merch and a lot of - he'll book shows too. Or we'll play with Graf Orlock a lot of the times too..It's a pretty sweet system.
Justin: It's a self mutual assitance
smo: You guys are like brothers (they look at each other and pound it) [rei]. I read the new songs, I think I even left a comment, I was like "oo your really good". I think your areally good writer
AL: thank you
smo: Like in general, umm, and of all music besides Have Heart ( and they are not the only ones this just came off the top of my head) like I think I've seen a lot of passion in your songs.
P:And I was wondering, you know, what gives you that? Like, it's really unique, you can't really hear peoples voices sometimes in what they write so I see that in your writing.
Al: Umm yeah, for me, I guess I've been really moves by music in my life and so when I - that's why I was excited to- from a younge age to play music. I mean...(music from the truck interupted us) wasn't quiet this music but I've always been really interested in music and my live has been changed becuase of music. Umm so I guess when I approach writing lyrics it's with the idea that you can actually affect people's lives and the only thing that I ever try to do when I'm actually writing lyrics is to be honest and I think something that a lot of bands don't do or .. I think a lot of bands are satisfied with just being uhh having choruses that people can repeat or having the most people sing a along and we do have a fair amount of people that know our lyrics, I guess it shows, but for me. I don't really ever give a shit about that and I don't - it's kind of weird when people are singing back a lot of our lyrics because they don't neccesarily - Like there's a song where I use the term "nigger" and I think that a lot of people think it's a tongue and cheeks
smo: "half-brother, half-cop"
Al: yeah, I think a lot of people think it's tongue and cheek- we were talking about this the other day, like "o he's talking about how police might say that" but really I am half black, so it's actually about my half brother and about things that are actually happening in our lives, but for me, umm, I guess the example that I've had in my life were bands that are just being honest, so. That's the threshold that I try to come at. It took, on the new record we just did, well actually you were talking about, it took probably about a month and a half to do the music part of it and then it took me about 4 months to write all the lyrics. It's - it's a really really hard thing to do...
smo: It sounds like it will be great
Justin: Alsoit's uhh , I mean I didn't write the lyrics of the record and I think we talked about this quite a while
Q:But did you also compose some of the music?
Justin: uhhh, I mostly- because he's written most stuff like from the get-go and I think, uhh, my job in this was to play and veto things or I don't make addendums when needed so uhh
AL: your your like a very critical editor
Justin: perhaps (laughs). Back with the- the weird thing though like I think the hardest thing to do with lyrics like whatever band it is, it to write something uhh, well to be honest first and, two, to have your own style that's kind of like true to the way that your write (looks at Al, and he nods his head). Which is problamatic because I know, it's like you read any brand of hardcore record or something. Like, it's kind of like rehashed shit, rehashed ideas that don't make any sense, when there like taken out of- they're just out of context phrasing that sound cool. Where is like, I think the way that we both look at writing lyrics is something thats more like, uhh, Propaghandi or something that is political or issue based but it's like injected with something personal, that makes it like kind of worth listening to-
smo: yeah
Justin: which I think is the best kind of way to do something like that
Al: And I've tried a lot to get away from being didactic cause, uhh, or like (looking as Justin) what's the word you called me the other day? Uhh talks down to people?
Justin: Condescending
Al: Condescending, yeah- cuase I tend to be pretty condescending so, I try to, at least in the lyrics step back and try to be as, umm...Like as if I could look in the mirror and like say that to myself I guess
Justin: objectivity
Al: Yeah- and it's hard to - the other thing I was gonna say about writting, like I read a lot and I write other things that arn't lyrics and umm what I'm always conscious of is a lot of people will wear their influences and I still do that alot of the time too but, I think the goal is to try and eat your influences so like instead of just having the same rhyme pattern, having the same topics. It's more understanding what other people have done before you and then ingesting that and having it live with you for a long enough time where when you go to write your own thing it, it isn't a repeat or a rehash it's its' own thing. I think sometimes we succeed in that, not all the time
smo: You guys, I think you guys are really good. It's my first time seeing you - I'm really happy about that umm (Justin made a face, haha, I probably didn't sound so happy).
smo: This is like a side thing, kind of like your opinion. What do you think - (I'm making hand motions that Al makes fun) yeah
Al: Move your camera over here
smo: I'm very hand signal aaa yeah-
P: What do you think about (I laugh) - What do you think about girls that participate in the shows? That literally like, they do something, they're apart of it, their in the pit, their singing. I don't know I haven't seen how they are ( well I haven't seen enough girls to know how some are)
Al: Do those exist? (Looking at Justin) [que sarcastico ! jaja]
Justin: (raised his finger, looking at Al) Can I answer this?
Al: yeah
smo: yeah
Al: ( he said something, but I couldn't catch what he said)
Justin: (re-positioning himself ja) Umm I think it's like - you don't notice that ?
Al: I didn't know that the girls existed.
Justin: Yeah, I think, I think it's totally awesome cuase uhh (Al laughs) well because
Al: Girls are cool
Justin: Before like Gorlock, Ghostlimb and I gues Dangers. More of the scenes that were involved of, involved with like the music was almost like completely male. Which is the case still, sometimes, in some places depending on where you are but I noticed that at least over time in my experience there's been a lot more womxn and girls at shows, which is like pretty awesome because it often comes off as just like, completely masculine, -
smo: machista
Justin: destructive and really like puerile, you know what I mean, but umm which it is for the most part but, I think people getting involved and like, having all types of weird people there - especially like at Dangers' shows, I think, there's a lot of younger people, kind of older people, girls, guys
AL: I have two ideas that stand from that too. One, I end up talking a lot about sex, so I appologize, uhh but - But it is like a trangential (?) idea, where like a lot of people will talk or like- I don't know the facts on this or the numbers on it but like the idea exists, like "o girls don't watch porn" ( I laughed because I thought of some girls that I knew) or its like, that that's more a masculine thing or a more male oriented thing, which I think is absolute bullshit cause those desires or like sexual feelings exist in all of us and it's just that society has sort of made it more of an acceptable thing for men. And I think it's the same is with loud music and or aggressive music. Whereby, uhh, girls feel the same way sort of frustration and anger that everyone else does and girls- I mean, your ears are no different than our ears so, it's been a curious thing to me that girls haven't felt comfortable or girls haven't been, uhh, apart of louder music as much as males have and I don't know what that says about - If it's hormones or if it's just like society imposing it's will upon, like whats acceptable or not but, for me, uhh, I get really stoked whenever there's a girls thats around at shows- not romantically. Like I get excited that , ummm
smo: It's not just boys..
Justin: yeah
Al: Yeah...Well and it also- my mom once- one of the things that I always think that's interesting, like my mom is that like, good, like "good bands", not good hardcore bands or punk bands or loud bands, like a good band will have fans of all different varieties. Like Rolling Stones, have like 12 year old fans, that are Asian in Japan and they've got, you know, 9(0?) year old men in the Bayou that are fans of their music.Not that I necessarily have that as a goal for Dangers, but I think it's pretty cool the larger, uhh
smo: the variety
Al: section of people, you know- the variety of human beings that are affected by music. That's more successful to me, not the amount but the variety, I guess
Justin: I think also, uhh, a comment on the male vs. female like ratio; That since forever particularly in like punk and hardcore, I guess since hardcore was comming up in like the early 80's that was like males kind of , in a piss off way cornered the market on, you know, on aggressive anger that way and umm (Al smirks jaja)- It's true though, like it's still I think when people say " oh its like a female- fronted hardcore"
Al: yeah (his reaction is exactly how I feel about that word)
Justin: you know they have to make that, you know, umm, -
Al: Look Back And Laugh, it's like "oo that's the band with that chick singer
Justin: yeah yeah
smo: yeah
Justin: instead of being, like a bunch of bands that have a bunch of people they don't even really talk about. It's like, it kind of feel like, uuhh (thinking) like, Mexican hardcore band like
smo: you mean like basketball and womxns basketball ? (I remembered something I heard, i just felt like stating that)
Justin: Like, it would be nice if all those things weren't, like they did not need to be said
Al: yeah
Justin: but I mean within that issue is that you have to make it acceptable and not just male, like a bunch of sweaty , like basement world of warcraft pre-teens, like chocking each other out at a show - (cut off )
Al: To be fair too though. If their's a girl, like you said, in the pit or like near us when we play
smo: Well your gonna see me in there, (Justin laughs) so hands down (i laugh)
Al: I, I, well I've been known- I mean there are different politics and I've definitely been privy to girls getting upset by certain things that I might have done. Like I've kissed dudes when we're playing (have yet to see that jaja) uhh, not on- I just kind do stuff and I don't think about it and then I - a friend of ours whose a girl, I ended up kissing I guess, and I don't remember doing it and it got us into- like she got really upset- so I don't know. I'm cool if you come up and sing along, just like understand that I, we, treat everyone
Justin: equally abusive (perfect response jaja)
smo: Yeah- Fuck you (me laughing - then drifting off into this pathetic type of new laugh that I have never heard before)
Question before my camera died: Ok, umm, the song "Half-brother, Half-Cop", that was like the song that got me into you guys, for me it was the song. So I just wanted to know that song was about? BUT I"M go
[this is where my camera dies, so I took some notes and made a quick summary]
Aside from what everyone else thinks of that song I was explained from Al, himself, what it was actually about. I apologize if there is anything incorrect.Basically the song is about his half-brother and he told me of how he had an issue with having control over things. That later on he joined the police department which rose some of the frustration between him and his brother. Since his brother would make discriminating comments while telling the stories of what he did while on duty. Putting all the blame on them.
"People think that it's about police and discrimination, but its about the people in those positions of power. They are not all that bad, they're humans"
In general it wasn't about a statement like "fuck cops", it was a piece of his reality.
