Here is another segment called "I Moved" . John Brophy left for Portland Oregon a couple of years ago. I miss him and his band Gingerbread Patriots. You can listen to his band on their myspace.
Was music a part of your decision to leave? if so how much?
yes. 31%
Has your fan base Increased?
yes. i met this guy and he was all "hey, good stuff" and i was all "nice. thank you. do you wanna be a fan?" and he said "okay" and i said "thank you for increasing my base!"
What do you miss most about Albuquerque?
well of course there is the green chili, the sun, the people, but most of all, i miss when people used to ask me where i lived and i would say "albuquerque" and then they would be really funny and say "you mean that place where bugs bunny made the wrong turn?" haha, i am rotflolcimptwuswsffaiartua just thinking about it.
How often do you visit?
i remember that i think i visited there before.
Has your sound/style changed since moving?
well i think i sound squeakier but my style is way better and hella fresh.
Since cost of living is relatively cheap in NM, as a musician was it hard making the transition?
no, not really. i just had to make some cut backs. less going out to shows and movies and driving and texting and drinking and using air conditioning and deodorant and drugs and eating food. more working. it was basically a lateral move.
Do you have any songs about Albuquerque/NM?
well there is this one song that i haven't released yet. it goes..
"hot dog, jumping frog, albuquerque
hot dog, jumping frog, albuquerque
hot dog, jumping frog, albuquerque
hot dog, jumping frog, albuquerque"
i just keep singing that over and over again till i start crying. it probably doesn't sound cool to you cause you can't see the face that i am making while i am singing it. i think that a prefab-ricated idea for that song was planted in my head by an extraterrestrial and when it sprout-ed, i plucked it and made myself a nice musical dinner.
Describe your last show before leaving?
riddled with tears, tech issues, and tenderness. my laptop broke into breaked and when the bleeps and blips that were supposed to happen didn't, all of the people's mouths made them instead. this filled me with lotsa love.
Name a band you miss from Albuquerque?
this kinda obscure band that this guy noelan plays drums for..i think they were called
"i is for dirtyfoxxylousyhacksawweaponmistlegiranapeoplewith
shinecherrytemposstallingallovertheirlove.inwinter" oh yeah, and foma.
Name a band you are now turned on to in your new city?
um starfucker is pretty great. i like to listen to them. nurses are also pretty great. oh did i mention musee mecanique? they are great too. i will stop now cuz you were all "name a band" and i was all "blah blah blah."
Ever plan on Returning?
i will see you in two weeks. ... and you will know me by the duck tail on my head.
