All 5 songs on their 2003 EP are capsules of rock pop candy. Personally, I love the romantically heart-wrenching "2 A.M", set in a nighttime beach romp with a boy and a girl, getting lost in all the waves. I mean all the waves. "I just close my eyes and drift away..." Uuggghhh, how can you not love it. "All of the Sudden" is a multi band-member favorite. "Drizzle" and "Song and Dance" are in heavy rotation on the groundbreaking 'John in the Morning' show on Seattle based, listener powered radio station, 90.3 FM, KEXP, and success-predicting LA stations, 90.3, KCRW, and 106.7, KROQ. Have you heard them on your local waves? Probably so, because they rock!

LA band, Run Run Run

Things are looking LA sunny for these boys. "We are finishing the writing for our full-length now. Our current plans are to record it ourselves and then license it to whichever label is our biggest supporter and fully embraces our vision. The First Time Records (who back their Drizzle EP) have been great and we hope they will get involved."

Let the bidding war for our rock saviors start now.

Here are some more quips from Run Run Run. They are:

XS: Xander Smith, vocals and guitar

PM: Peter Martin, guitar

JG: Jeramy Gritter, Bass and vocals

DD: Daniel Dod, drums and vocals

EK: Ed Keller, French horn

Phil Cunningham of New Order fame and Marcus Brown of Gene, Richard Ashcroft, and Madonna fame, are prominant guests in the studio and on stage.

VV: Who are the band's influences?

DD: My Bloody Valentine, Sunny Day Real Estate and ACDC.

JG: Minor Threat

XS: The Church and Tones on Tail for me

PM: Doves, Radiohead, Swervedriver, Verve, Slowdive, Ride, Oasis, early U2, Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath (with Ozzy. OK, some stuff with Dio), Motley Crue, Bauhaus, Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy, Iron Maiden and the list could go on for days.

VV: What do you hope to happen from your future SXSW (South by SouthWest music festival) gig?

DD: Our van will make it there and back with no problems and to see Dillinger Four at EMO's.

XS: To see the bats down by the river. They are amazing and love rock bands. They [literally] are real bats!!!!

PM: It'll be great to play these songs in front of people who might not otherwise hear us. I'm hoping to win over some new fans.

VV: What are the biggest lessons you guys have learned from playing in LA's music industry? How does this translate to the national and international markets?

DD: Play whatever songs you want, and rock as hard as you can. Fuck them if they don't like it. If there is no blood shed, then it wasn't a good show.

JG: Being prepared and being as pro as possible makes it so you can just think about the music

VV: If you could collaborate with any artist, label, or producer, who and why?

DD: Quincy Jones.

JG: D'angelo because Voodoo is one of the best produced CDs ever

XS: I would say the BEEGEES. Those guys make amazing sounding records.

PM: Kevin Shields. That guy just totally created his own sound structures. Sounds that are so complex and rich and layered and beautiful, and in my opinion no other guitarist has come close to creating something like that. Johnny Marr because his approach to the guitar is so unique and he writes the coolest parts. Noel Gallhager because that man can write a great fucking song.

VV: On a personal level, what do you love (in general) and what do you dream for your future?

DD: Playing music and using it as a vehicle to keep my family stable and myself, FOREVER.

JG: I'll do anything for $100

Run Run Run will be playing at the following shows in Southern California and the U.S. Southwest:

Continue to rock out peacefully.

Cheers,

Valeria Valiente
