This was a fun thing we did. I (tony) had been cruising the musician listings at Craigslist and I came across North Metro TV in Blaine looking for a musical act for their monthly "Inside Entertainment" program. I responded and they felt we were a good fit. And so it was that we convened at their television studio and set up our gear. I arrived a bit, I might add, but it wasn't too late. I was still set up and ready before the shooting was scheduled to begin.

We met Ben, Damian and Danika, the hosts of the show, and chatted a bit off-camera about public television stations, the Twin Cities music scene and the Basilica Block Party. Everybody, crew included, were perfectly friendly and totally cool. We got a real good vibe off of everyone and they all made us feel very welcome and comfortable.

"Inside Entertainment" isn't a live show, but rather it's prerecorded. When everyone was set and things were to begin, we taped all the bumpers all in a row. We did roughly thirty seconds of four different songs ("Chosen Ones," "Last Night," "Found My Boogie," and "Moon Over the Water") that were used during the program when the show went to and from commercial breaks. We had to decide decent starting and ending points for each song clip. It was easier than I thought it would be and it went well, with the exception of "Last Night". I think Anthony forgot the point at which we were going to end and he kept playing for a couple extra seconds after the rest of us had stopped.

After we completed the bumper clips, the hosts went on to do the show, which was made up primarily of movie reviews and taped interviews with personalities from the films reviewed. During this time, we sat in the studio and observed the taping for a bit, then went to the parking lot and enjoyed a tasty beverage.

When that portion of the taping was complete, we went back to the performance area and pounded out "Bad Mamma Jamma" with a vengeance. Following that, Ben Hayle, one of the hosts of "Inside Entertainment", interviewed Anthony in the performance area. He asked about the Basilica Block Party, fast food, and the origins of the band. Following the interview, Ben threw it back to us to play them out with "Poet (Who Didn't Know It)".

It was a very fun evening and we enjoyed it greatly. Doing TV shows is always fun, and we very much appreciated this opportunity. We had a great time.
