Blood Oranges

A.M. Pleasure Assassins are really good guys. They let me stay in their house for a month while I was living in Fort Collins; and we made a music video! This is the second video. We only made it halfway through the first one before some Colorado redneck drove up next to us in his truck, cocked and pointed a shotgun at all of us screaming something about private property; Boy, was that exciting!

A.M. Pleasure Assassins also just finished an album. I spoke to Jared and Mitch about the new release.

How long did it take to make the album?

Jared: um golly

Mitch: about a year in half

Jared: yeah

Mitch: start to finish

Jared: 18 months

How many albums or releases has A.M. Pleasure Assassins made?

Jared: This is our second formal album along with four eps and now a split tape.

What's good about it?

Jared: What's good about it?

Yeah

Jared:  a lot of the songs on the other stuff is like jams and stuff that we went back and overdubbed things to make it sound like a song, when maybe there was nothing resembling a song to begin with. Whereas with this one, all the songs were very premeditated and we had them nailed down before we went in and recorded; and we just took a lot more time mixing and we got it mastered, so that's a little bit of a fidelity boost.

Mitch: and the packaging is top notch.

Jared: and top notch packaging to top it all off.

How's the music scene in Fort Collins?

Jared: It's pretty rad, we've got a lot of diversity. No one's really like trying to snake each other steeze or anything. Everyone kind of - we all work well together, we all play shows together and there's not much drama or crappy attitudes, everyone's really positive.

What's next for A.M. Pleasure Assassins?

Jared: touring

Mitch: touring

Jared: many many tours

Jared: that and we do have another album that we're, an album and an ep that we're formulating in our minds. We have the songs, we just need to figure them out in our heads, before we go along with the rest of the project of it.

When are going on tour?

Jared: we just got back from Nebraska, did like a, just a mini little one weekend hurrah out there. next tour we have planned would be out to Boise and west coast for Treefort, Boise for Treefort , west coast for elsewhere's shows,

Mitch: in march

Jared: yeah in march, and after that

Mitch: or before that

Jared: yeah, east coast, we want to hit the east coast. you know, eventually as soon as possible take it over sea's.

Mitch: japan here we come.
