WORDS BY CHOLO<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been skating, hanging out, and running around with these guys for too long. Lloyd is the brains of the band, Sal is out there, Dean is the reliable drummer, and George is chill. Nowadays these guys are recording some new tunes. Maybe you\u2019ve heard them on a Tower 13 compilation or checked out the new ol\u201984 video; they have a classic lick in there on Swanson\u2019s part. Thee Indigents rock, so go check out the video and go skate.<\/p>\n

SAL:<\/strong><\/p>\n

How long have you been skating?<\/strong>
\nAbout thirty years or so.<\/p>\n

Where do you usually go skate?<\/strong>
\nFullerton Skatepark, mostly. The kids are cool there. They remind me of when I was a kid skating SadLands.<\/p>\n

Best trick\/worst trick?<\/strong>
\nSurviving is my best trick. Smashing my knee is the worst.<\/p>\n

What does the word \u201cindigent\u201d mean to you?<\/strong>

Who\u2019s the most indigent? Least indigent?<\/strong>
\nWe\u2019re all indigent in one way or another.<\/p>\n

\nMy fashions always function. Go to the thrift store, kiddies! Paying top dollar at the corner punk store is nowhere!<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s been a musical influence on you?<\/strong>
\nI guess you could start with T.S.O.L, Adolescents, The Crowd, The Damned, Slaughter and the Dogs, Bowie, Elvis Costello, Saints, Dead Boys, G.G. and the Jabbers.<\/p>\n

Do you believe in UFOs?<\/strong>
\nThat\u2019s a silly question. I am a UFO! You know that!<\/p>\n

Tell me a joke!<\/strong>
\nDid you hear about the person of the Polish persuasion that walked into a bar with a big pile of shit in his hand and said, \u201cHey, look what I almost stepped in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last thanks.<\/strong>
\nDagger, familia, Cholo, Cerda, Swanson, Ol\u2019 84, Rick at Hostage Records, Drac at Vinyl Solution, Peter \u201cAction Man\u201d Archer, skater bros old and new, and anybody else who needs it.<\/p>\n

Where do you usually go skate?<\/strong>
\nA friend\u2019s mini ramp.<\/p>\n

Best trick\/worst trick?<\/strong>
\nFinger flip lien to tail\/ axle stall.<\/p>\n

What does the word \u201cindigent\u201d mean to you?<\/strong>
\nLook at our front man\u2026that\u2019s indigent.<\/p>\n

Function or fashion and why?<\/strong>
\nFunction; need music to live!<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s been a musical influence on you?<\/strong>
\nCrass, Subhumans (UK), Jimmy H., and Otis Redding.<\/p>\n

Do you believe in UFOs?<\/strong>
\nYes, if you saw my friends you would, too.<\/p>\n

Tell me a joke!<\/strong>
\nKnock, knock…<\/p>\n

Last thanks.<\/strong>
\nCholo, Hostage Records, the real fans, and my family for not laughing at us.<\/p>\n

LLOYD:<\/strong><\/p>\n

How long have you been skating?<\/strong>
\nOff and on since I was six years old, a long time.<\/p>\n

Where do you usually go skate?<\/strong>
\nFullerton Skatepark.<\/p>\n

Best trick\/worst trick?<\/strong>
\nBest is Monarail\/Got\u2019cha covered. Worst is waking up.<\/p>\n

\nAction man, The Who, Otis Redding…<\/p>\n

Do you believe in UFOs?<\/strong>
\nNow I do! Thanks, Sal and Frankie.<\/p>\n

\nDirty joke – white horse fell in a mud puddle.<\/p>\n

Last thanks.<\/strong>
\nStitches, Hostage Records, Cholo, Scott at Ol\u2019 84, Lisafer and Doug, Mark and Carly, Mario and Alana, Juice Magazine, Cudlipp, Swanson…the list will never end!<\/p>\n

What does the word \u201cindigent\u201d mean to you?<\/strong>
\nHaving friends with no jobs or money.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s the most indigent? Least indigent?<\/strong>
\nSal\/ Me.<\/p>\n

Function or fashion and why?<\/strong>

\nRandy Katen and the N-Men, Sacto crew for showing me what it\u2019s all about, Sasha Steinhorst for picking up where Sacto left off, and Cholo for taking me to Skatopia and being real in a landscape of fakers.<\/p>\n
