PropertyOfZack Interview : : Pianos Become The Teeth
PropertyOfZack spoke with the members of Pianos Become The Teeth over a month ago at one of their select dates with Converge for a great interview. The band and I discussed the success of their second album, past tours with Touché Amoré and Xerxes, Topshelf Records, their recent tour with Coheed And Cambria, and the future. Check it all out below!
For the record, could you state your names and roles in Pianos?
Mike: I’m Mike, I play guitar.
Kyle: I’m Kyle, I sing.
David: I’m David, I play drums.
Chad: Chad. I play guitar.
Zac: I’m Zac, I play bass.So this is your second of three shows with Converge. How was the first one? I guess this tour is really rad to be a part of at all.
David: I’m really stoked. Converge has been one of my favorite bands for so long.
Chad: Yeah they’re all one of our favorite bands.
David: First show was in Richmond. This is only our second show. It was awesome. Just the excitement of being on a show with Converge. Playing right before them it’s like, “Okay. Now I’m really nervous.”
Kyle: It’s cool too because I feel like the lineup is… I mean it works, but it’s also a little bit diverse, which I think is really cool.Were fans receptive the other night?
Zac: Richmond is hard to gauge. Our reception every night is kind of hard to gauge.
Chad: I definitely saw people singing along and getting into it, but there wasn’t people like stage diving and stuff, you know?
Zac: People stand with arms crossed and either sing along or look very confused.
David: We feel awkward all of the time.
Mike: I think one of the best comments somebody every said was, “Well, that was interesting.”
Zac: We were planning on opening all three shows. That’s what we thought was happening. We thought we were the opening band. Then we got there and found out that we were playing right before converge.
Kyle: Which is weird because we’re not really on the tour.
Mike: It’s incredible it’s just very weird room.
Kyle: Makes us more nervous.
Mike: Especially when you walk into a venue like this and it’s like, “Oh.. Right. Well.. Two floors, huh?”You guys have toured pretty extensively since the release of the record with the Touché tour and then the Xerxes tour. Have you noticed a steady increase in interest from fans?
Mike: I feel like in some places, yes. I feel like we would have never done as well in some of the major cities in Canada if it wasn’t for that Touché tour. We did a show in Toronto that was incredible. I don’t think it would have been that cool if we hadn’t done that Touché tour or touring behind the record. I feel like it’s a slow increase, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
Kyle: Very slowly, but it’s always been an increase but it works out.
Zac: It’s hard to gauge that too, because a lot of places that we’ve played, especially in america going in and out of Canada in places we’ve never played before, I haven’t played in a long time. It’s kind of hard to tell.
…..the bands’ split together makes for one of the best releases not only for 2012, but as a statement to the rest of the growing club of hardcore and post-hardcore alike.

PropertyOfZack Road Blog : : Pianos Become The Teeth (Final Update)
From Chad McDonald:
It’s 6:40 AM. We arrived in Baltimore last night at 10:30 pm after an 18 hour van ride back from Baton Rouge, LA. We drove straight back to Baltimore after the show, which I think is the reason I am now awake at 7 AM on a Saturday. Over night van rides always mess with my sleeping schedule.
The last few shows of the tour were fine. Birmingham, Alabama was one of the better shows of tour for us. A few guys came up to the merch table and said they had seen us play in a garage outside of Birmingham 4 years ago. I vividly remember that show because we kept getting shocked during our set because the garage’s power supply wasn’t properly grounded. It’s odd to think how different that tour 4 yearsago was from this one. Two completely different experiences in the punk touring spectrum - from house shows and art spaces to bar venues and music halls with a well known band.
I wrote this a few years ago in the summer of 2010 after returning from a 41 day tour that was mostly house shows and art spaces:
Tour is fun because of the uncertainty that goes along with it. Not knowing what the show will be like, what kind of people you’ll encounter or where the night will end is a liberating feeling that you don’t often get to experience. You have the slightest bit of control over your daily destiny and it is up to you and your band mates to figure out how you’re going to eat, where you’re going to sleep, who’s going to drive, etc.If I were to write an end of tour round up right now it would go:
This tour was unlike any of our prior tours. Each day we had a scheduled arrival time, load in, sound check and set time. Uncertainty regarding the shows did not exist. We were never surprised by a broken PA system or a dilapidated punk house or no one showing up or not getting gas money at the end of the night. Everything just seemed to fall in to place, which is very unusual. We entered a new touring reality where punk time does not exist and everyone involved with the show is a professional. Shows start on time and run smoothly and at the end of the night the promoter pays you what you agreed on beforehand. The audience didn’t seem to like us very much, but some people said nice things after our set. We got a lot of blank stares and disinterested faces in the front row each night but eventually your skin thickens and you play harder.
