BEPSTEIN AND NICK ON CONAN

you might not be able to tell from listening to us, but at least 2/3's of the max levine ensemble are huge conan o'brien fans and we've been trying to get on the show for the better part of a decade. you may remember when we submitted a video of ourselves covering an old conan o’brien sketch about 8 years ago:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evtXQNmG_OY

or maybe you remember when we met la bamba (of conan's house band) while attending a taping of the show on tour:

well, last night, in a dream come true, bepstein and nick were on the show in conan’s “fan corrections” segment debating the merits of small cap fund mutual investments and the OLD SWITCHEROO! check it out here: http://teamcoco.com/video/fan-correction-ol-slipperoo

Interviews: David Combs on the Max Levine Ensemble, the end of Spoonboy, and DEATH

Spoonboy is gone and in his place is the return of David Combs and rest of the The Max Levine Ensemble! After seven years away from the LP game, the DC “power trio” has blasted back with Backlash Baby (their best release yet). The band has always made their trade in revved up pop-punk (with a smidge of hardcore for good measure) but the new record is band’s snappiest to date. But, the new record ain’t no “let’s kiss at the sock hop” kinda jam. Rather, over top of the bopping beat, Combs gives Death the middle finger, cries out for Mother Earth, and talks about the cops kicking in the doors of activists. Heavy stuff. So, Punknews’ John Gentile spoke to Combs about the new record, the end of Spoonboy, and the Grim Reaper himself! They also talk about Fugazi, because, you know, Fugazi, dude. Check out the interview below. via Punknews.org (http://pnkn.ws/1RQUKdJ)
