The band moe. has been an ongoing concern since forming in Buffalo, NY, over 20 years ago. Guitarist/vocalist Al Schnier joined up in 1991, and the band has been busy on the road and releasing albums ever since, even putting on the excellent moe.down festival (#15 is in Turin, NY, August 29-31 this summer). I dropped Al a line as moe. were wrapping up their 11th album, No Guts, No Glory!. [ image 1 type=fullcenter ]
No.
Neither had I. It's this thing they do during the Super Bowl, maybe on Animal Planet, but they have puppies playing like a mock Super Bowl. They need music for that. This year is the tenth anniversary of Puppy Bowl, and the halftime show is Keyboard Cat, who's like this YouTube sensation, a cat that plays a Casio keyboard. So keyboard cat is going to be doing this Bruno Mars song for the halftime show at Puppy Bowl. I have a friend who's working on production for the show, and she kind of wound up in a pinch because the guy they had wasn't able to finish the job on time. She called me at the last minute and was like, "You can do this, right? This is the kind of work you do?" I said totally. She asked me if I was sitting down. I was like, "You've got to be kidding me!" She's like, oh no, it's totally real. I'd never heard of either of these things. Since it started, now there are four different things I have to do for them. There's like the "Puppy Fight Song" and all these other things. The meetings are so funny when we talk about things in the context of the role of the puppy who will be performing the song. It's pretty surreal. But it's nice to actually get paid for all the years of homework I've done learning how to use Pro Tools and email a track to somebody while I'm on the road.
You sound busy.
Yeah.
