09: Tell us a little bit about your radio show, “Don’t Get Stupid”?
Has it opened any doors for the band?
Kim: Ha! It’s probably closed some doors. No, not really. I think
we’ve made a few new fans from it, but for the most part, the
show and the band are very, very separate. Some people may
already know this, but we got the idea for the current format
when we were watching a video where Neil, Geddy and Alex
were having dinner and just having a lot of fun together. It was a
fly-on-the-wall view into their real personalities. We try to have
that kind of interaction with our guests, or even when we don’t
have a guest and it’s just Perry and me. We spend a little time
talking about their current projects and a LOT of time talking
about what they do when they’re not working.
Perry: It started out drunk and rude. And ended up drunk and
semi rude and just fun. Its chill and we love doing it when we
can. Its tough to get all these guests on the show because it
takes forever to make plans for it. This is why we do not do
shows weekly. We have some cool guests coming up though.
Fun will be had. Not one time have we had a shitty guest either.
Its always been fun.
10: What is on the horizon for A*Star? Will there be a full length
album, or even a tour?
Kim: I doubt we’ll tour, though never say never! Full-length…
yes yes yes.
Perry: Right now I am burnt out on playing music in general. I
have not picked up the guitar in months and really have no intention of doing so. Someday I will but I think for me
