NXNE Band Profile: Pterodactyl

by Pop Tarts Suck Toasted on Tue, 2009/06/09 - 6:00pm

Who: Pterodactyl
Location: Brooklyn, NY
NXNE Sets: Friday @ Sneaky Dee’s (11pm), Saturday @ El Mocambo (3am)
5 Questions: - Who are you guys looking forward to seeing while north of the border? Any Canadian
bands you’re really excited to see?
We’re super excited to see Mika Miko and our friends The Coathangers who we’re playing with at Sneaky Dees! We always love dd/mm/yyyy! Also excited to see the Gza if we can get in. The lineup is crazy cool! Oh and The Creeping Nobodies…not sure if they are playing but they are amazing and we’ll totally go see them if they are playing.

- What do you guys look forward to about playing in Canada?
Canada is always really great. Everyone is so friendly and down! Sneaky Dee’s nachos are pretty great too! We’re also hoping to find some nice yard sales. Last year I found a copy of It’s Pat on dvd for a dollar! It wasn’t worth it but we’re still hoping to find some good deals!

- What’s your favorite episode of Degrassi?
The one where everyone is pregnant and huffing gas. Our Sarah Adrienne really loves the one where whats-her-face takes ecstasy. I was always more of a Saved By The Bell guy, myself. If I have to watch a Canadian show with kids on it, I’m going to pick You Can’t Do That On Television every time. Sorry Degrassi!

- Where will you be heading after NXNE is done? Got anymore festivals to play this
summer?
After NXNE we’re doing a month long tour of the US. It’s going to be exciting to visit the Pacific Northwest and California, for sure as it’s been a while. The only other festivals we’re doing this summer are the Huggies’ Fall into Softness Event and Pringles Summer Slam Jam both of which are going to be held at Newbridge commons in Newbridge, New Jersey. Actually we’re not…. :(

- What’s the biggest difference between playing shows throughout New York and when you
head out to different cities?
I guess the adventure of being in a new foreign place. New York is always exciting even when you call it home but venturing out into the world always supersedes comfort in my book. So there’s your answer…adventure, adventure, adventure!
