Recently I went to North Hollywood to meet up with Pat of Youth Of Togay to talk about the bands forthcoming album. After ordering the best damned philly cheese steaks in LA we sat at a booth and talked of the band, their album, the Bridge 9 incident, and the queercore ’scene’ as a whole.
So tell me about the new album coming out.
Durus Compleo is a parody album with about six songs. Last spring we went into the studio and recorded six tracks that were supposed to come out on a single. But the guy we sent the plates to to press the albums won’t give us the songs back. Usually it costs about three hundred 
to go through the process of making plates, but this guy wants five-fifty! So those plates are kind of sitting in limbo and we’ve gotta redo all those tracks.
Not long ago though we went in and recorded like eleven tracks in three days. It was great. We went in and I told the band what ideas I had for the songs, like a hardcore mosh type song or something, and we went at it. We practically lived in the studio for three days and came out with some amazing tracks!
Those eleven tracks were going to be three 7 inches, but then it came out to two 7 inches and a CD comp. Each of the records is going to have an exclusive track, which won’t be on the CD. A lot of bands when they put something on vinyl and CD it’s just the same thing on both, so why bother getting the vinyl? But if you give them some incentive, like an exclusive track, then there you go.
Tell me about the band.
Youth Of Togay is originally from Boston, which is known for having a musical history, especially hardcore. I had the idea of putting together a gaycore band and I asked a few friends if they’d want to play. I was looking for people that believe the same thing as I do, whether they were gay straight or bisexual. When it came together I couldn’t have asked for a better group of guys. There’s this whole group dynamic. They’re just as interesting, opening minded, and as funny as I am.

Dixie Dies is a queercore band from Billings, Montana (!) that deserves a look. With a sound bordering on poppy but heavy enough to get you moving, and a persona all their own, Dixie Dies wants you to feel it! Their EP; “Lockwood Burns Yaoi” is available for listen on their MySpace page (link above) and available for FREE if you have the time to drop them an e-mail, and of course, if they can afford the postage.
Ok. This is a total fan-crush, I know. So good ahead and laugh, but, Paul McKenzie from The Real McKenzies, scottish folk-punk band, has really got it going on. I’d like to see what up his kilt. 
My cat Grenadine loves this album. Mind you, this cat is not one of those awesome rock-loving felines you occasionally come across at one of your stoner friends house. This thing is utterly insane. She’s the kind that hisses at you for being near her, will attack my other cat Indya after an hour of cuddling, and snaps her jaws on your finger if you so much as think of picking her up. But here she is, cuddled up right next to me and my laptop while I blast this album.
This isn’t the first time she’s cuddled next to me while listening to this either.
