The Interview Show with Creative Adult (podcast edition) #240

When I arrived outside Vancouver's DIY 333 venue shortly before the show, most of the members of San Francisco post-punk band Creative Adult were snoring in the tour van. The band had gone pretty hard the night before in Seattle, so I managed to convince the band's guitarist, Michael Bingham, to talk with me while he enjoyed a cigarette and beers. The band's 2016 record, Fear of Life, nearly destroyed Creative Adult (and the band's friendships) and I couldn't wait to hear the entire story! Which Creative Adult song did Michael write after smoking a big joint? Which record did teenage Micheal use to get through some tough times? What was it like working with Efrim Menuck from Godspeed You! Black Emperor on the band's first record, Psychic Mess? How did the band manage to make a record while not speaking to each other? How did they mend the relationships? Which member of Vancouver hardcore band Crumb crashed our interview? What does it mean to practice "mindfulness"? Why does straight-identifying Michael ask to see his friend's dick pics? Which member of Creative Adult has yet to show Michael his penis? You'll have to listen to find out.
