Street: You were previously known as Leviathan and now you go by Satellite Heights. What is the significance of this name change? Zach Williamson: We didn’t get enough girls with Leviathan.
Street: Since you’ve done this before, we’re gonna ask you to step it up. Here’s a challenge: describe yourself in an explosive haiku. Blake West: Satellite Heights is/Exploding super nova/Times one thousand. [Ed. note: So close, Blake, so close. Missing one beat, he then admitted that he didn’t know what a syllable was.]
Street: Collectively as a band are you Carrie, Charlotte, Samantha or Miranda? Kirk Lozada: Are those the guys from Sex and the City? Blake: Who’s the hot one? The short little brown-haired one? Kirk: We would be whoever the slutty girl is… ’cause that’s Zachary.
Street: If you were to have a theme song what would it be? Zach: "Toxic" by Britney Spears.
Street: Would you ever consider composing music for pornographic cinema? Why or why not? Ben Naecker: We already do. Zach: The new album is meant to be played while you’re having sex.
Street: How would you rate your concerts on a scale of G to NC17? Ben: We’re pretty G. Street: Even with nudity in the shows? Blake: We’re like a tasteful porn. We cover the really important parts.
Street: As members of a band, be honest: how often do you frequent American Apparel? How much apparel do you own? Have you modeled for them yet? Brad: No to all, but I have modeled before. Ben: What the fuck, Brad? You never told us about your modeling. Brad: It was for a beef company.
