Dianna: Thanks for taking the time out to talk to me! What was it like to be on The Warped Tour in 2008?

KATC: It was a blast! We had only been a band for a few months when we found out we were getting to play Warped. It was our first tour and it was definitely challenging.

 
Dianna: Are you excited to be on the line up again this year?

KATC: Extremely! We know the ropes of the tour from doing it once before, so we'll know what we're doing. We're also playing a bigger stage.

 
Dianna: Was it exciting to hear one of your songs on The Real World?

KATC: That was really cool. It's amazing what TV can do for your fan base. Within an hour of the airing of the show, we had 4,000 plays on our Myspace page. We gained a bunch of new fans from having our song on the Real World.  Our music will also be played on this coming season of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians".

Dianna: You recently toured with Forever the Sickest Kids and White Tie Affair, what other big bands have you toured with?

KATC: We've toured with Just Surrender, Red Car Wire, The Friday Night Boys, A Rocket To The Moon, Mercy Mercedes and The Scenic, to name a few!
 

Dianna: What is it like to go from a small band, to having your name all over MTV, and touring on Warped Tour?

KATC: It's a pretty surreal experience. I remember sitting in my college dorm writing songs and thinking of a way I could get them out there and a year later, my band is on MTV! We've definitely come a long way over the past year.
 

Dianna: What can we expect on your next EP?

KATC: Honestly, I can't completely answer that question. We just started writing our new release. I'm pretty excited to see what direction we go and how it's going to turn out.  We are also,  re-releasing  our last EP... It will be entitled "Shut Up and Deal". It will include the songs from our last EP "Against The Wall" but will include a brand new song and our music video for "Wrapped Around Your Finger". It will be in stores nationwide on July 28th, 2009.

Dianna: Congratulations on signing to Tragic Hero Records, what brought that on?

KATC: We had discussed offers with a couple of Labels and really liked what Tragic Hero had to offer.
 

Dianna: What was it like making a music video?

KATC: So much fun but it was a really long and intense experience. It was definitely one of my favorite experiences of being in a band so far. 
 

Dianna: When should we be expecting the video’s release?

KATC: The video for "Wrapped Around Your Finger" by director Scott Hansen will be exclusively available on our EP "Shut Up and Deal" and on iTunes July 28th. We may put it up on Myspace eventually, too!

Dianna: Twitter?
 

KATC: @Kchaosrock

Dianna: Is it tough touring all the time?

KATC: Ask us that in a few years. It's so fun and exciting right now but after a few years of doing it, it may be tougher! We've been fortunate enough to be a part of some really amazing tours. Our last tour with Forever The Sickest Kids was an absolute blast.

Dianna: What is your writing process?

KATC: We usually just come up with a guitar part and I write most of the melodies and lyrics. We go back and forth until we get what we want and are ready to record.
 

Dianna: Who are your inspirations as a band?

KATC: Pat Benatar, Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Blondie. Classic rock n roll girls!
 

Dianna: Is it tough having a girl in the band or being the only girl in the band?

KATC: It can be tough because I'm pretty high maintenance and It can be hard to look hot on tour in between all the driving, hotel rooms and little sleep! It's also tough because for whatever reason, if you're a girl in a band you're less likely to be taken seriously. I'd like to think we can definitely rock just as hard as the guys if not harder!

Dianna: The next question is just for my personal knowledge. I noticed you guys are on twitter, how does that work exactly?

KATC: We just post updates every couple of days to let people know what we're doing! 

Dianna: Thanks again for taking the time out to talk to me. Anything left to say to all of your fans?
