Interview by Kevin Pollock

First can you introduce the band names, ages & position in the band?
The name of the band is HERE TODAY GONE TOMORROW(or simply "HTGT" to some people),I'm 17 and the oldest in the band and play drums.

How & when did the band form?
The band formed around the end of May 2001 when Bill Bamford and Tyler Roy were loolooking for a drummer.Chris Draper from school came in to be the drummer.The bassist Jeff Kielman didn't want to be in the band at first but joined a fe wmonths later.

How is the punk sceane in the North Bay region?
North Bay has a pretty good punk scene.Punk remains one of the most popular genres here,if not the most popular.

Whats been your highlight moment as a band so far & most embarassing?
Our highlight moment so far was playing with Savory(probably the biggest band from around here) and the extreme band slam winners Redefined.All the bands at that show were good actually. The most embarassing moment was when we learned a Lagwagon song in a few minutes then played it at the same show.It was also embarassing at our very first gig when we played a heavy intro to get people pumped up,then went into a slow shitty song that we don't play anymore all of a sudden.Sort of made us look bad although it sounded cool at the time.

If you could play with any band anywhere who whould it be & where?
Me?? I would say Judas priest at Rock In Rio.

For the ladies out there boxers or briefs & for the guys favourite sport?
I don't wear boxers or briefs.

What are your hobbies outside the band?
I like um.......basketball,biking around town since I suck at skateboarding.I also like to write,play drums,hang out with Sarah(XOXO)and other people,and draw retarded pictures.

Where do you see the band in 5- 10 yrs time?
If the band even lasts for that long,I think we would have quite a reputation around Canada and probably have toured a but and have like 4 cds out.

If you could change one thing about yourselves what would you each change?
Chris-I would change my socks since they stink!! Or be like Bill! Tyler-I would be like Bill! Jeff-I would be like Bill! Bill-I like myself.

How has Being on ontariopunk.com helped you?
Being on this site has giving us an opportunity to get the HTGT name out and maybe our site(http://www.htgt.cjb.net) and its a cool site for sure!!!
