: Here are a few word bites from

» Plutonian John Ounpuu:

. Origins: “We were in bad
bands. We wanted to make pop
music so we decided to form a
band. We clicked’and we recorded
our first single Preny Little Jacket
with Rock. Candy (7-inch vinyl on
Popgun Records), That was our
own little thing. the only thing
that’s been put out on Popgun.
We're ‘not burying it-yet. The first
practice together we wrote Pretry
Little Jacket as a group.”

Move to Mint: “We put our
first seven-inch out and decided it

:, Was ‘a Jot of fun but it kind of cost

us a lot of money, We said ‘Hmm,
maybe someone else wants'to put

_ Out our'next one.” We already had’
the stuff recorded and we went toa '

Mint showcase one night at the
Startish room. We drank a lithe and
came up to them and said, “Hey |“
when are you going to put our next
record out?’ They said OK.”

Independent scene: .We don't
want to-be one of those bands ||
made by a majer (label). You feel
like you ure doing something

worthwhile when you work for-it~

at a grassroots level, because of

‘the merit.of the music.”
