Read our feature interview with Downset here: [ Ссылка ]

I arrived at the Palace at 3:35pm, a good five hours before Downset was scheduled to go on stage, and half an hour before my interview time slot. Apparently, I'm supposed to meet Downset's agent by the side entrance, and gain access to Rey, the singer. Well, the big hairy ugly guy won't let me in, no matter what. I spot James, from Downset, getting out of his car in the parking lot, and decide to see if he can help me out. I think he recognizes me from our interview with him at Tattoo the Earth, and he shakes my hand. I tell him the problem, and he tells me he'll try to find Rey. Bigfoot lets him in, and he disappears into the Palace. I wait more. There are about 25 people wandering around in the parking lot, me among them. I start to get annoyed, because LA is always a fucking hassle, and I'm standing outside, missing the interview, bored as shit. I don't even know what the agent looks like, aside that she's female. I had given her my cell phone number, in case a situation like this occurred, but had left her cell phone number at home, like a dumbass. I notice a pretty Asian woman standing against the fence pick up her cellular phone. My phone rings. Coincidence? Nope. I answer, letting her know I'm a good fifteen feet away. I introduce myself, she gets Rey, and the interview begins in the luscious confines of a tour bus.
