The first time I saw Scary Kids Scaring Kids live was an experience I will never forget. It was in front of about 40 people in the basement of a small venue in Mesa, AZ called The Nile and the band destroyed the stage - literally. Towards the end of their set someone in the band set fire to a television set and entire venue nearly went up in flames. It was the kind of show you don't forget and I have been pleased to see SKSK rise quickly out of the local scene and now to the top of mainstream rock radar. After a stint on the Vans Warped Tour this summer, Scary Kids Scaring Kids brand new self-titled record came out yesterday and is getting rave reviews as a real breakthrough for the band and their sound. They are going to wrap up 2007 with a monster tour with Chiodos where I am sure you will see more than one venue nearly go up in flames.
In this interview with keyboardist Pouyan Afkary and guitarist Steve Kirby, we talked a lot about the hardships the band has had to overcome to get their success and why they are enjoying every moment of their success.
