Mitch G. (Unstable Shapes)

Who are you most excited to see at Caterwaul?

Mitch G.: FACS

Who would you like to collaborate with or start a cover band with at Caterwaul and why?

Mitch G.: Buildings or Upright Forms -- they're already pals.

What was your first favorite band?

Mitch G.: Pavement

Have you ever had performance anxiety? What is your secret weapon?

Mitch G.: This is my first band and I didn't play a real show until I was 36, so uhhh yeah I've definitely had performance anxiety. During those first few shows my anxiety was off the charts -- I basically just stared at the floor and looked miserable the whole time. Now that we've been playing out for a few years I've gotten way more comfortable, even if it doesn't look like I am. But if anybody has a secret weapon, I'd love to hear it!

What’s the best part of playing an all day/multiple day festival or gathering? And conversely, what is the worst part of doing it?

Mitch G.: BEST: watching a bunch of bands outside with friends, what's not to love.

WORST: it's usually hot and sweaty and by the end of it my body hates me from standing all day and drinking beer in the hot sun for several days straight.

Bonus multiple choice: Replacements, Husker Du, Halo of Flies or Prince?

Mitch G.: Replacements.
