20 Bulls Each are heading off to the US in August for a tour, and HT are joining them, to drive, takes pics (no one or thing will escape the lens!!) and document it.
So we last talked in 2005, what have you been up to since then?
Paul became a Satanist, Gav killed 5 men in a salami eating contest, I survived having a nuke dropped on me from space and we found a child called Ciaran on the side of the street and decided to keep him. In other words, we've played a million gigs and recorded an album called Lost Causes.
 And what was the reaction to the CD?
It seemed to go down fairly well, we promoted it as best we could with the money we had so it ended up on iTunes and all the digital download places and CDbaby. So finally people in the states could pick up our stuff if they wanted. We had much better reaction to the album in the states and abroad than we had here, here being the arsehole of the world.
How hard was it finding a new bassist? Tell us about Ciaran!
We eat up bassists and spit them out on a near yearly basis for some reason. I think most people love the idea of being in a band but not the actual hard work involved and the money it costs. It nearly takes a full time job to pay for the shit you have to spend on gear and travelling for the band. With Ciaran we had known him for years, since the start of the band really and he was involved in the making of our album too in the studio. So it all just worked itself out. He's a whore for lifting gear too, fuckin mad for it. Its like having a bassist/roadie combo, fucking deadly it is.
You were also planning some US shows last time we spoke, how did they go?
Went well man, we were over for nearly 2 weeks playing shows and hanging out with our friends in Hell City Records. They are good people and looked after us well
Talking of US shows, you off there again in August, where will you be playing? How hard has it been to set the tour up?
At the moment the dates are all over the place with more shows being added all the time so the best bet is to check the myspace as we update that every day. But roughly we'll be in New York, Chicago, Detroit, and a few other places
And just before the US tour, you're off to Italy for a one off show, who will you be playing with and how did that come about?
A promoter in Italy rang us one day and was trying to get us to come over to headline a small festival they are having in July. At first we weren't going to do it as its literally 3 days before we head to the states and we are broke as fuck. But after some more talking we were able to arrange a trip over there for the weekend and the festival. As for the line up I dont think its 100% confirmed at the moment and again, I'd have to point you back to our myspace!
Apart from the US tour, is there anything else coming up for 20BE?
Well we fully intend on fighting with each other at LEAST 15 times in the states, I predict 5 threats of leaving the band and at least one broken nose/Black eye combination (hehe, I'll look forward to that!). But hopefully we can come back and play some more gigs outside Dublin and the main city's in Ireland as they are all pretty tired now. The hill billy towns are where its at nowadays, The kids are crying out for noisy music!
Anything else you guys want to add?
I'm having some Chinese food for dinner tonight so im pretty happy about that. And.. Fuck 20 Bulls Each, gang of fuckin LOSERS!
Cya @ 6 for this Chinese buffet!
