The B Foundation Joe: I like weed. Jason: If the government was smart and wanted to make billions of dollars, they would legalize and tax it, and maybe that would get us out of our trillion dollar deficit. What is your favorite strain? “Blue Dream!” Your website states that you have a “do-it-yourself” method. Explain that. Patrick: You have to take the blow up doll out of the box and blow it up first. No one can help you. (laughing) Mike: We got pocket assholes. Jason: We don’t have a label, but we had offers. We had a great huge label and great distribution, but it didn’t turn out so great because we ended up losing a bunch of money and losing stature on our album. Now, we produce our own records with some help, but we pay for marketing. The street team and fans are most important to us. They’re the ones who can go out and tell people about it. They’re really the most important part of what we do. Just…all love. “Let’s talk more about weed,” says the band. – Jason talks about how they bought a piece for the tour, but as soon as they got to their next stop, they forgot it was on a member’s lap; it dropped and broke. Needless to say, they were bummed.
What’s new and coming up for you guys in the near future? Patrick: We’re proud owners of the Detroit Red Wings (in a computer game where they display more “teamwork.” They were quite serious about this hobby!). Jason: Joe is new. He just started a month ago and this is his first week touring with us (this is because Tyler, their former guitarist, had a medical condition that left him unable to play). Joe’s nickname is “Flaming Pterodactyl” and you don’t want to know why! If you’re curious though, catch a show. We got seven or eight songs we’re working on right now with very limited time; but when we get home, we’re going to try and work on 10 more songs for an album coming out called Hard At Work, because every time we play, we get boners. --With that last comment, we ended the interview. I tell ya’, there was plenty more stuff these guys said that got me chuckling. When discussing Blue Dream, Jason also added, “I don’t like to melt into the couch, like Ehhhhhhh.” The B Foundation is a laid-back, do-it-yourself band! With four albums out and a busy schedule, we can’t wait to hear what’s next for them on their new album. Until then, stay tuned to their site at www.thebfoundation. net. PEACE!
