This summer, Goleta's Easter Teeth will go out with a bang before going on an indefinite hiatus. The experimental punk duo of brothers Tim and Joshua Eymann will play their last shows for the next while and then focus on their families and solo efforts. First, fans can catch a Whiskey Richards farewell show with Pookie and Gunpowder Empires on June 29, and then they'll join bands like No Age, Sadgirl, and more at L.A.'s The Echo on July 1. Tim (guitarist) discussed nearly a decade of music.
Was there a moment when you two decided it was time to hang up the towel? Well, first off, keep in mind we're calling this an indefinite hiatus, so there's a chance we'll pick it back up if we both feel like we miss it too much. But I'd say it was after our U.S. tour last summer that we knew we needed to shut it down. Tours often have that effect on bands.
Looking back, what are you most proud of over the years? We're very proud to say that we've made friends all across the country and even overseas. That the stupid music we write has allowed us to do that — it blows our minds. Sure, we like what we write and think it's original and all that, but it's more important for us to connect with people than fuss over the music.
