You might be wondering how I made a radio edit of an interview with a band called "Fuck Buttons"... but don't worry! I did it.
Like many others, I was really into last year's Blanck Mass record, World Eater (2017, Sacred Bones Records). I was surprised to discover that Blanck Mass is the side project of Benjamin John Power who is also one half of Fuck Buttons.
I spent one hot summer night with both members of Fuck Buttons (Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power) in their tour van. The duo were in good spirits, despite the fact that we were all sweating profusely.
Rumor has it that the band is working on new material as I write this. Hopefully we'll see some new Fuck Buttons music soon.
How do you say "Fuck Buttons" in a family friendly radio environment? How do you make a great radio edit of a long track? What's it like to "jam" when you are in an electronic act? What's it like to have your music selected to be in the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games? What place does patriotism have in the lives of Fuck Buttons? You'll have to listen to find out.
