Indie Rockers the Thermals Take Over at T.T. the Bear’s

‘Adorable’ group of twenty-somethings talk lo-fi aesthetics, band chemistry and non-rock star ambitions

“Hutch did something for everybody,” Barnett said. “I know my music in my band is way more about me…the Thermals record takes care of you, it looks out for you. It’s about everybody. It’s one of the few things in my life I really have unwavering faith about.”

The band continue their U.S. tour until the third week of April and they say they are excited by the possibility of playing a show in Alaska. “I think the goal is to play all 50 states. Alaska would be one of the really hard ones,” Harris said.

A few of his other plans include “marriage for me, and children…some pets, one of those hairless cats.”

“That would be nice,” he said.

Hudson anticipates a royalty check of 13 cents in the near future and sets his sights on living large in 2009. In the meantime, he and the rest of the band will keep on delighting audiences with their cuddly and contagiously fun songs, ripe for adoration.
