Justin of Wicked Crossover conducted an interview with Jimmy Bower (DOWN, SUPERJOINT RITUAL, EYEHATEGOD) Thursday night (September 8). A few excerpts from the chat follow:
Wicked Crossover: Ok let's start from the beginning... how seriously were you taking the hurricane warnings?
Jim: "Well, if you live in New Orleans, you're used to being on a two or three day alert. This one concerned us a little bit before those two or three days because of it's size and power. Four days prior to the storm, the hurricane center pretty much had it headed for New Orleans."
Wicked Crossover: So even though you get warnings every year, you knew this was something special?
Jim: "Yeah, they were calling this a 'one-in-a-hundred-years' storm. We had Hurricane Camille and Hurricane Betsey back in the day... I mean, we've been hit by some small-category hurricanes that set us back and did some flooding, but what people don't understand is that when these hurricanes came through 40 or 50 years ago, we had a lot more land and a lot more marsh to, so to speak, soak up the storm. Now we don't have all that. Knowing that helped us anticipate some of the damage."
Jim: "Philip's house was spared, from what I understand. Justin, I know you've been to Philip's house but for those who haven't, it's surrounded by trees. They all fell, but not one fell on his house. Not one. The Lair is fine. So out there is fine, but get into the city and it's more like a third world country. Disease, hunger, looting... they're shooting looters, finally. I mean if people broke into my house for food or water I wouldn't care at all, but if you walk out with my TV, I have a problem with that. There's no need for that shit.
"I would like to say that everyone has been accounted for except Mike Williams (EYEHATEGOD singer). Man, it really hittin' me hard because I've known Mike longer than anybody else I know in New Orleans. He introduced me to the whole scene. I guess no news is good news. Mike's a survivor, but if anybody reads this and has heard from him, please get in touch with Justin or make a post on one of the message boards. I'm really worried about him and now is not the time for jokes. My heart goes out to the people in Florida too. It's all surreal man. I'm hoping for the best.
"I want to thank everybody on the boards for their thoughts and prayers. We're gonna pull out of this... and when we do, look out, bro... 'Down III''s gonna be vicious, like a pit-bull. It's not gonna be a pretty album, it's gonna be mean. That's the attitude everybody's in. I'm pissed."
