mt: How are things going in the studio?

J69: Greetings from the studio, we're giving finishing touches for the album right now and then Matt (Hyde, the producer) will mix it during May. We've been recording some 14 songs, maybe 11 end up to the final album. This is no doubt the best record The 69 Eyes has ever done. It's been hard, lotsa sweat, blood and tears but wait till you hear it...our A&R guy said that we've created the new "Appetite For Destruction" - haha, just wait...

mt: Fans are anxiously awaiting the tour information. Anymore information at this time?

J69: Yeah, we will go to tour in Australia for the first time ever in June, also we will play some cool festivals like Download in the UK and The Rock in Germany. After the record comes out the rest will follow...

mt: How do you handle pressure and stress?

J69: Chilling by the pool, eating some Californian sushi & hanging out on the Sunset Strip with friends...

mt: What do you do when you get nervous?

J69: Listen to some Elvis.

mt: What are your thoughts on Trash Fest?

J69: Underground rules!
