Sweathshop Dad: Listen up because I'm only saying this once: I'm very proud of you

Combover dad: In a terrible accident at the wheat mill outside of town, the man known as Combover Dad was birthed anew. During the guided tour of the mill, a very pretty lady made a disparaging remark regarding Combover Dad's bald spot when she thought he couldn't hear. But by golly did he hear. Picking up a jar of crisco and a plastic comb at a stripmall dimestore, a hero was finally born.

See DAADs live with SATANIZED, drumslikemachineguns, DAADs, and Mike (A)! at the GreenStar Annex, 700 W Buffalo, Ithaca, NY 14850 this Tuesday, Feb 22nd 8PM $5 All ages.

Anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, and anti-fascist. A great code of ethics for any punk band to be founded on, but add a well-balanced amalgamation of punk, crust, metal, and ska plus male and female vocals, razor sharp lyrics depicting said leftist ideals, and have ex/current members of Choking Victim, The Degenerics, Leftover Crack, the Slackers, Nanuchka and Casa de Chihuahua with honorary members from bands like the Bouncing Souls, World/Inferno Friendship Society and the Hold Steady in your ranks... then you'd have to be STAR FUCKING HIPSTERS. With two solid LP's on Fat Wreck and Alternative Tentacles under their belt and a third in the works, SFH are heading out on a two month tour, including their first stop in Ithaca, NY on Thursday, Sept 30th at The Haunt. Founding member Stza (also of LoC and Choking Victim) takes a few moments from the road to speak with Ithaca Underground's Bubba Crumrine.

IU: What do you feel differs about SFH that sets it apart from your other previous bands?

Stza: I am not necessarily the focal point of the band, which has damaged my mental well-being in other bands, although, when I started, I definitely craved attention. But ten one day it becomes too much & there's a lot of pressure when you don't know any healthy ways to escape.

IU: What have you all been up to since "Never Rest In Peace" was released last year?

Stza: We've been touring and touring. And now we're finally working on material for a 3rd record due out next year...

IU: How far along in the writing process are you?
