Cartel Talks About Their Bubble Time
Monday, July 16th, 2007
There’s a new article from the NY Daily News that talks about Cartel’s experience being trapped in that bubble. The band says that although the conditions were often restrictive (fans kept coming up to the bubble and distracting the band), they were able to record 13 full songs. That’s an album, right? Here’s the dish direct from the horse’s mouth:
“It wasn’t easy,” Pugh says of Cartel’s time in the bubble. “We had our moments, we internalized. But we couldn’t record as much as we thought we would. It was supposed to be fun and carefree but [with all those people watching, it didn't turn out that way]. People kept asking us to sign this and sign that through this teller-like window. It got a little hairy with folks coming up all the time. But the experience was awesome. It was a once-in-a-lifetime thing.”
I thought this show as a whole was pretty interesting to watch. I mean, how often do you get to see 5 grown adults who’ve turned their lives completely over to reality TV cameras? Oh? That’s every show that’s been made in the last 10 years? Interesting.
