Greg Bacon (Betrayed,The First Step, Internal Affairs, Knife Fight, Stand & Fight, Carry On)


1- What's up in your world right now?


My world is going great and the next six months are just going to get better. I'am going to graduate college, put an ep out with Internal Affairs, record a new ep with The First Step, tour my favourite places in the world and get to visit some new spots in the process. Put that on top of the fact that i just saw Pennywise and Ignite and my life is looking pretty good. AND there are new Down To Nothing and Go It Alone records coming out that are going to be the records of the year.


2- List the bands in order that you have played bass in, and whats some of your favourite experiences over the years playing in these bands?


Do you want a list of the bands of practiced with, played a show with or actually been in? Bands i've been in- Carry On, Stand & Fight, Knife Fight, The First Step, Internal Affairs and Betrayed.

Bands i've played with (in addition to above)- The Mistake, Righteous Jams, Down To Nothing, and i'll be playing a few songs with Our Turn pretty soon. Bands i've jammed with (but things didnt work out)- Amendment Eighteen and Vengeance!

The best part about playing in those bands is making friends. Most of the people i know won't find their way out of the country , let alone make some amazing friends in the process. That being said, i dont know what my favourite tour experience is because almost every tour is amazing. If i had to choose it'd either be playing with koalas and kangaroos in Australia or any part of the Betrayed tour in Europe. John Joseph stealing underwear, DUIcepick hitting our trailer and sick bro's taking pictures inside the Slovenian castle for an hour made that tour amazing.


3- Screenprinting, bass playing , pwning? Which is your favourite occupation?


I consider bass playing a hobby and pwning a pastime. I guess that would make my favourite profession screenprinting by default.


4- Gregbacon.com? Will it ever be updated to show your full potential to the world?


HA! You'll need to ask Todd about updates cause that site is completely under his control. It's been "coming soon" since its inception almost a year and a half ago.

(edit- i just checked and sadly gregbacon.com no longer exists)


5- 6131 Records, world domination? future plans?


6131 Records IS world domination! NO APOLOGIES- SURVIVAL is going to pwn the world in July. Other than that we are putting out Cruel Hand, Pressure, Defiant Hearts, Every Second Counts and Permanent so look out for all of those. My world domination includes playing shows in four continents this summer.
