Last year you played No Code and Yield live. When will the reissues for those albums come out, and what do you think might be included on them?

Good question. I don’t know, I’d love to put those back out, and that’s a conversation between Jeff, Ed, and Christian. But I think those are the next ones in line to come out, but I don’t have any dates on that. I’m sure we have some stuff left over, floating around. The majority of it was on Lost Dogs, some of the songs that were of that era I believe were on Lost Dogs, so there may not be a ton of stuff that would be with it, but there will be something. We have vaults and vaults, and files and files of stuff that we’ve all forgotten about, but are categorized, and we know where the tangible things are. I hope they come out soon, but I don’t have any kind of date or anything I could tell you.

You mentioned Lost Dogs, could we maybe see a second Lost Dogs type album come out in the future, because some Riot Act [and Avocado] stuff leaked on the internet a year or two ago, and there’s been some talk of unreleased Backspacer material, there was talk of the time about maybe an EP. Could you see those songs coming out?

I’m sure we could do something. We definitely have stuff that is left over from Backspacer, and from our last record too. We all come in with a lot of stuff. Some gets looked at, some gets kind of put aside, and some gets put on the backburner. The backburner stuff, there’s some pretty good stuff, I’d imagine we’d have another record for the B-sides and stuff like that. We just have to kind of go through them. We’re lucky in this band in terms of everybody writes a lot of songs, Ed’s receptive to that, that leaves us with a lot of songs, so that leaves us with a lot of stuff maybe to put out another Lost Dogs. I can’t comment on that, that would be another Jeff and Ed thing. We haven’t really talked about all of that this year, but I know that stuff is out there, and that we have extra songs for sure.

You could always put those shows from last year on them. I think that would be great.

I really enjoy Brendan, and I think we all feel that way, and that’s why we continue to use him. Maybe someday we do our own thing by ourselves. We’ve thrown that idea around, but that takes a lot of focus, and a lot of energy that we may not want to put into it

that takes a lot of focus, and a lot of energy that we may not want to put into it.

I would imagine they will make one more. That would be pretty crappy to release Lightning Bolt then wait 3 years to say "we're done".
