The time that they played at the arena wasn't their only strange experience at a show. According to Jonny, "One show, a girl ran up and confessed she almost cried during our set, and that she thinks she loves me. At another show, some skinheads where booing us, and our synth player [Michael] said the louder you boo, the harder I will suck your d- - - after the show. Well, they tried to get on stage and kill us, but fans started to grab them, and a huge fight broke out with us standing on stage in awe of all the chaos." This is apparently a true story.

The Mission Veo filmed a music video for their song "New York Scum," and it was even featured on the FUSE channel. "Seeing the 'NYScum' video on Fuse was really weird. I had to watch it a few times over the next couples of days to really let it set in."

Says Jonny, "The process was our song on repeat for 14 hours, and us playing along. In between, there was a lot of hair straightening and pizza. Someone tried to put a mannequin in the video and then some girls danced."

The Misson Veo was featured in the Nov. 1 issue of AP Magazine. As of current, Jonny hasn't seen the issue yet, but he's "…thinking I may not hate it," which is probably a good thing. As of now, their plans for the future are "not to have plans for the future," but they're working on some new tunes. Check back later when the sonic pendulum is closer to completion.
