I recently had the opportunity to inteview artist/musician Chris Cobilis. Chris has been making music and art for the better part of 23 years with bands such as The Tigers, Smrts, Sabre Tooth Tigers, Abe Sada, Sexy Band, Zerodent, Trash Band 1987 and more.

Chris also has a very sprawling and diverse solo career, with several albums and film scores and collaborations. He has one foot in 'indie rock' and the other in 'experimental music', but his tentacles extend all over the place sonically.

We spoke about all things music, friendships, keeping those friendships, what 'making it' really means, unscheduled appearances in surf videos (!) and more.
