No Comments on METZ (2010, 2012) – Teaser

Toronto’s METZ were recently asked to reunite for a performance on Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney, and so I dug into my archives for my first conversation with the band’s Alex Edkins. My digging led me to our second conversation as well, so I’ve combined them here for you and other METZ fans. Alex and I had met a number of times at METZ shows before our first interview, which was a phoner that took place on Tuesday December 14, 2010, at 2:00 PM ET. Our next interview, again via telephone, took place on Tuesday June 12, 2012, at 1:00 PM ET, and we discussed the band’s big news: they’d finished their debut album, and were about to start working with Sub Pop Records.

Thanks to Bob Nastanovich, Rebecca Clay Cole from Pavement is here to discuss her Elephant 6 Recording Co. community, Pavement’s influence on it, and the recent and painful losses they’ve endured, the rise of Neutral Milk Hotel, how she got into playing music and embraces “sideman” roles, the beginning and end of her supergroup Wild Flag and Stephen Malkmus’ quiet role in that, joining Pavement and her thoughts about the various aspects of the forthcoming film Pavements, which she is in, current projects like Clay Cole, future plans, and much more.
