"The Interlopers . . . project a sort of Danzig-in-his-prime hard-rock menace." --Ray Cummings, Willamette Week
"The Interlopers have written a song called 'Chicks Dig Me' as well as one called 'Ross Island,' two rock 'n' roll songs bookending the beliefs and concerns of Portland males stuck in traffic." --Rob Cullivan, Portland Tribune
The Interlopers are a trio from Portland, Oregon. I'd love to tell you what they sound like, but my inability to give a tin shit about demographics and compartmentalized genre monikers forces me to abstain from snappy description. Suffice to say, Jeff plays the drums, Dave plays the guitar, and Barret plays the bass and sings most of the songs. People seem to like watching us play, people seem to show up when we play, and we enjoy playing in front of people, so I'll leave the over-inflated adjectives and under-graduate metaphors to the more 'hip' members of the indie-rock model railroad club. We have our own equipment, our own songs, and our own van. We're the coolest kind of working-class: we actually ARE working class.

I know this isn't really relevant but I just had to resurrect the Lame List from "Almost Live" circa 1993. I really think we need to get this started again in Portland.
oh yeah, I got the warts and everything, I haven't slept in over a day and a half, and all I've consumed in the past day & a half is 1 small piece of pizza, & lots of whiskey, beer, cigs & pills. I'll send you a picture
