While waiting for the Mighty Mighty Bosstones to come on stage, I noticed about 20 beer bottles being assembled in front of the drum kit. The lights went down, Irish music filled the air only to be replaced by an evening of heavy distortion, upbeats and horns. In contradiction to their song "Don't Know How to Party", actions speak louder than words.

Greg & Liz: How long have you been together?
Mighty Mighty Bosstones: All our lives.

G&L: What's behind the name?
MMB: Why we named it, that's like a takeoff of our city. We're from Boston. I wish there was more there for you guys.

G&L: What do you do when you're not touring or in the studio?
MMB: There's no such thing. That's it for us. Um, we do a lot of snowboarding. Yeah, we actually did play at like a big snowboarding/skateboarding rally back east...in New York. A lot of actually mud-fest....down and dirty in a bar.

G&L: What's the strangest thing that's happened on tour?
MMB: Oh, it's all pretty strange. when something normal happens, that seems weird.

G&L: What's you're favorite brand of beer?
MMB: Anything you can funnel. Anything in a keg.

G&L: Do we get a free pair of converse for doing this interview?
MMB: Naw, we didn't get a free pair for doing the commercial.
