Grey Young and Battle Rockets

Published: May 13, 2009, 3:25 p.m.

b'Well, what a pleasant surprise! Corbie and Mike of Battle Rockets stopped by and for a band whose songs feature no lyrics, they had quite a bit to say (full disclosure: their joke, not mine). They came in at the 5:00 hour and we talked about the show that night (with Gray Young and the Proclivities), their unique method of releasing demos and their brand new, homemade, $5 T-shirts. As for that show, see below for more.\\n\\nThe demo method is pretty cool, as you\\u2019ll hear in the clips below. The band records every practice and saves what sounds good. Then they burn a few copies of the most recent versions of tracks, date them, and label them\\u2013or have guest labelers do it, like our very own DJ Gray Matter. They then take their demos to shows and sell them for $1. That\\u2019s a deal you can\\u2019t beat.'
