Matt Agrella (vocals, guitar), Tyson Kuhlhoff (bass), Joshua Mikel (drums), and Ryan Slate (guitar). What the fuck does that mean? It's the lineup of Look Mexico. Well who the fuck are Look Mexico?! They're a rock 'n' roll band from Tallahassee. They've been keepin' it quite real in the Capitol City since '04, rockin' the house while going through lineup changes, a new record deal with Lujo Records, and pushin' the releases of their discs, So Byzantine EP and The Crucial EP. Now we chatted online with Josh to bring the gospel to you. That's who the fuck Look Mexico are! Look Mexico? I don't get it.I don't get you. What about that? As a band, how many pizzas do you think you could eat before ralphing? Probably like a billion. And we wouldn't ralph either. We got fast metabolisms. You figure it out. What's your favorite John Mellencamp/John Cougar/John Cougar Mellencamp song? "Devil Went Down To Georgia." How have things been moving along with your lil lineup change? Slate is awesome, other than he is sneaky. We call him Sneaky Slate. Sometimes he'll just stare at your food waiting for you to look away so he can take a taste. Or sometimes he'll take a sip of your drink when you are talking to him, and he is so nonchalant about it that you won't even notice. Other than that he wails. Now that you guys are signed to Lujo Records, how much champagne do you drink each day? Well. we drink at least 10 bottles apiece a day; just the expensive stuff. Plus we probably pour about 40 BPD (that is the unit of measurement of bottles per day) on all the naked girls we got hanging round us all the time. Plus about 1-3 BPD on our dogs and cats. They roll hard. Because of this swanky new mainstream huge bonus record deal, how high do you think your video will debut on TRL, VH1 Top 20, and 106 & Park? #1, #1, and not too sure how the "hip-hop" crowd is going to dig us, but I'll say #1. If I could get serious for a moment, why don't you all grow beards like Matt's and change your name to The Lumberjax? I'd buy that CD. Why don't you grow a beard? Why don't you get a job? I mean I could go on forever. Next question. I've heard your live shows are pretty lame. What do you have to say about that? As far as I am concerned this interview is over. I've heard your live shows are pretty rad. What do you have to say about that? Well you've been talking to some pretty (if I may call upon the freshest vocab of the 2004 election) flip-floppers. But to this particular person I would have to say, "dood, you know it, baby." On the band's Myspace, there's a picture with you naked. When do we get to see the rest of you's guys naked? Don't get fresh with us now. We got girlfriends. Except for Slate... and Tyson... don't get fresh. But probably like if you asked I'm pretty sure people will get naked. When you droppin' a new disc? When you going to stop asking us questions? I don't know. We start recording in early October... so sometime after that. You're just going to have to listen to your My Chemical Romance tapes until then. God. Tell us about your upcoming ORL jaunt. What the? Talk American, all right? Sorry bro. Tell us about your upcoming show in Orlando. Oh, it's on alright. We're talking BackBooth. Us, Dark Romantics, and Summerbirds man. Friday, September 29th bringing it down at 9pm. Everyone should come hang out with us. If they want. Please?! Umm, is this interview going on too long? Entirely What's one word you'd like this interview to end with? I'm going to go with...Eolithic Interview by Matt Harrison
