I’ve also posted some new pictures of Daphne Loves Derby, Paulson and Dave Melillo in the photos section. Head over there and have a look!

I recently had the chance to conduct an email interview with Florida’s own Dave Melillo.  It was really exciting for me because he is easily my favorite artist to come out of my hometown.  His current EP Talk Is Cheap is out now on Drive Thru Records. 

What was it like touring with such huge bands at a young age and how has it effected you? I remember seeing you open up for Something Corporate and The Format at UCF a couple of years ago and you must have been only 15 or 16.

House of Blues in West Hollywood, CA
November 24, 2006

The House Of Blues, spanning the entire United States in the biggest and most famous cities, you can always count on HOB to put on a quality show. Extensive security and a very short list of items you can bring in (that doesn’t include bottled water or any form of camera) makes for a very different dynamic for a concert. Stage lighting equivalent to that of an arena or broadway performance, I’ll just stick to staying short and say you can definitely expect a “show.” Sorry, no photo pass for this one, you’ll just have to take my word for it.

Drive-Thru Records will release their 4th DVD on November 14th. The DVD will feature videos, interviews, and exclusive content from Hellogoodbye, The Early November, Halifax, Dave Melillo, I am the Avalanche, House of Fools, Self Against City, Houston Calls, and more.
