Interview  with Eric Campuzano
by Alyssa Johnston - September '98
 

Between Eric Campuzano's crazy schedule and my busy one, I was in a major predicament trying to find a time when we both were available for the interview.  We finally connected after he returned from a trip to Nashville last week.  There he had been mixing Satellite Circle's newest project, which he also produced.  The interview is rather brief, but Eric has a way of saying of covering wide topics with few words.

Alyssa Johnston: How's your search for the record label going so far?
Eric Campuzano: umm, it's going, things are happening...

AJ: So what about Pacifico?
Eric: The entity of what we recorded might never actually come out.  Out of the 10 songs we recorded, probably only 6 will be released, we'll be putting out a single later.
AJ: A single on top of the EP?
Eric: Yes.  We do want to release stuff, but we're kind of in a bit of a jam.
AJ: So Pacifico as a whole album might never be released?
Eric: Yes, it's just as frustrating for us you know? It's just like, we had a lot of plans but a couple doors opened up, and we pursued them, and other doors were closed in the process.  But it just took forever to record, like 6 months. It's frustrating.
AJ: What songs might not ever be released?
Eric: "I've Got the Rock and Roll" and "El Rey"
AJ: That's too bad, those are great songs!
Eric: Yeah.
AJ: Do you think you'll ever get around to touring or anything?
Eric: Yeah, we're hoping to.  We all want to, we just need to get a record out first.
AJ: So pretty soon after you get one out you'll tour?
Eric: I'd like to think so.
