pdx ripped #15, an interview with menomena
This week the Moose interviews Portland’s very own indie sensation Menomena who recently signed to Seattle’s Barsuk Records home of indie scions Death Cab For Cutie . Brent and Justin from the band discuss their new CD Friend and Foe and the weird comparisons to bands such as TV on the Radio and The Hold Steady and how their CD release party on January 28th at the Crystal Ballroom includes a 25 piece choir. Plus they use words like zeitgeist. They also try to cover up the fact that they’ve killed their drummer Danny and dropped him in the Columbia River. Tune in and you will hear MP3 cuts from the new album and from their previous album, The Fun Blame Monster…
