"Deftones if they played it wrong" | MP3.com & messageboards | Live free or die | Plenty of time to be practical | "I can't keep track of these freaking guys" | None of us are going on MTV Cribs | No fruits, no vegetables | Where have all the embassies gone? | Sleep when you're dead | DIY culture shock | Tricked into managing | "Some other schmuck"
Anthony Gesa plays guitar in Gatherers, one of the best current bands in the oddly specific screamo/post-rock/post-hardcore milieu. He also works with the record label and management firm Party Smasher Inc. and spent the better part of two years on the road with The Dillinger Escape Plan as they traveled the world on their farewell tour. We talked about how love interests can guide our musical decision making for better or worse, the foolhardiness (or not?) of vocational training for the music business, and being warned not to walk around sightseeing in India.
