UNITED MUTATION interview (continued)...

Here are the last few questions I somehow failed to include on the original interview (further down the page, or click here) with Jay Fox, bass player in UNITED MUTATION. Enjoy!

Q. Tell us a bit about what the other UM guys are up to now too; Billy playing jazz etc?

Jay: BILLY IS PLAYING JAZZ AND OTHER STYLES OF MUSIC, JOHN FOX IS INTO HAWAIIAN MUSIC, MIKE SALKIND PLAYS IN VARIOUS BANDS HERE IN COLORADO, WE JAM ABOUT ONCE A YEAR JUST FOR FUN. STEVE IS STILL MIA, NO ONE HAS SEEN HIM IN YEARS. TO MY KNOWLWDGE HE'S NOT DOING ANY MUSIC ON A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL, WHICH IS SAD. MIKE BROWN HAS A STUDIO IN HIS HOUSE AND IS DOING PSYCHEDELIC HIP HOP TYPE STUFF, AND WHATEVER ELSE HE FEELS LIKE PLAYING.

I USUALLY HAVE ABOUT 2 BANDS GOING AT ANY TIME.

Q. Are you glad there is still interest in a band that's been split up for so many years? Have you seen the rising prices your records go for on Ebay now too?

Jay: I'M VERY PLEASED THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL INTO THE UM THING AS WE ALL SPENT A LOT OF YEARS AND TIME ON THE WHOLE PROJECT. ITS GREAT THAT HARDCORE IN GENERAL IS STILL AROUND AND PEOPLE STILL WANT TO HEAR IT. IT'S FUNNY WE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE BAND BEING DONE, ITS JUST IN LIMBO, WE COULD PLAY ANY DAY AND STILL HAVE FUN, AND MAKE MUSIC, I GUESS KIND OF LIKE FUGAZI, THEY AREN'T REALLY BROKEN UP JUST DOING OTHER THINGS...

Q. Any last words?
Jay: THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST AND THE GREAT QUESTIONS... IT IS APPRECIATED ON EVERY LEVEL.
