[Click on the image below to watch our interview with We The Kings.] ![]() DJ Rossstar: Welcome to the Warped Tour. What have you done in the past three hours you've been here? Hunter Thomsen: We played. Almost died. What else have we done? Napped a little bit. Got a little lunch. Sunburned … definitely … and I think I have a river flowing in between my ass crack right now. [shows camera] DJ Rossstar: What is his ass crack sticking out? Travis Clark: It's for the river. I don't. It's whatever he said about the river. DJ Rossstar: Are you gonna cut your hair this summer? Clark: No. DJ Rossstar: Is this as long as it's been or have you grown it way longer? Clark:: No. It's 'cause I don't wash it anymore, so it never grows. It's all split ends, so all it does is get thicker 'cause they start splitting off into multiple … [DJ Rossstar touches hair] DJ Rossstar: So you've had quite a year … probably better than my year. What was your biggest OMG moment? Drew Thomsen: We actually played a show at the same venue as Bob Dylan. DJ Rossstar: At the same time or no? Drew Thomsen: Same night. DJ Rossstar: Did you get to talk to him or anything? Drew Thomsen: I got to watch the show from the balcony so it was pretty sweet. DJ Rossstar: You were there too … obviously. Hunter Thomsen: I was there … I was there. It was an awesome time. DJ Rossstar: Everybody's a big Bob Dylan fan? Clark: We are. Actually, I have a bigger OMG moment is when, actually, it's not just one moment … it's every time I beat Danny [Duncan] in [the video game] Halo. Danny Duncan: Which doesn’t happen often. It’s an OMFG moment when he beats me cause it’s like once a year. ![]() DJ Rossstar: How rare is it to get the old stuff? Clark: How rare? From like our other bands and stuff. I don't know. I think it's on Limewire. Duncan: Ebay. DJ Rossstar: Is it really on Ebay? Clark: I don't even know if it exists anymore. We depleted it. DJ Rossstar: Hip-hop on Warped Tour. Shwayze … any thoughts? Hunter Thomsen: I love Shwayze. I can relate to that man. DJ Rossstar: Is there anyone here this summer that you're excited to see that would surprise people? Clark: We're all Blink [182] fans, so to meet Tom DeLonge is gonna be cool. DJ Rossstar: What if you meet him and he's really rude? You're, like, "Oh, we're in this band," and he's like, "I don't care." Clark: I'd still love it. I'd be like that is all that is rockstar. I need to start being rude. DJ Rossstar: Would you say that Blink is your favorite band? Clark: Yeah … them and Jimmy Eat World. My all time favs … DJ Rossstar: Have you met Jimmy [Atkins]? Clark: I have. He's awesome … he's incredible. DJ Rossstar: I always wonder people say "what if you meet your favorite band and they punch you in the face for no reason?" Would you still like the band? Clark: Well, I don't know if you heard the comic that says, "if you punch somebody in the face, they'll always remember you," so when I saw Jimmy I was like, I don't know if I should punch him in the face so that he'll always remember me … or just say hi. I choose the latter of the two options. DJ Rossstar: Everybody's summer songs. Duncan: Anything from Grease, you know, John Travolta. [sings] Clark: I'll go with my girl Katy Perry for "I Kissed a Girl" and I liked it. Drew Thomsen: Anything by The Beach Boys. Hunter Thomsen: I would say "A Milli" by Lil' Wayne [sings] Catch all our nx Warped Tour coverage – including interviews, videos, pictures and more. Have you already been to Warped this year?

yeah i try not to have too high of expectation before
meeting bands i really like cuz i dont want to be
TOO disappointed if they turn out to be total jerks.
for example, if when i met wtk and travis punched me in the face,
i would probably not put them on top of my list to see at warped dates,
but i would still listen to their music at home and stuff.
=] thats just me though.
and for the record travis was a nice dude the times i've met him so far
but seriously,Travis, not washing your hair for months is gross even if your hair still looks awesome!
