Scott Kelly (guitars): Well, originally it was something that Al and Wino had talked about. I think they had actually been talking about it for a long time and I’ve known Al for years so he just asked me if I wanted to play guitar on the record. It wasn’t like I was going to say no to being in a band with Wino. What’s it like waking up and thinking, “Holy crap, I’m in a band with Wino!”?
Well, we’d kind of moved in similar circles for a long time, but we’d never actually met, so it was strange to finally meet him, but it was great making the record, if that is what you mean. We did it very fast in very few takes and there was a real energy in the room that you can hear on the record. It was something I’ve never quite experienced before, and I’ve made quite a few records. How do you feel about people describing Shrinebuilder as a supergroup?
We don’t use that word. CIRCLE JAMSShrinebuilder’s self-titled debut is available on Neurot Recordings right now. myspace.com/shrinebuildergroup
