Pulse Lifeline: Seymore Saves the World
By: Melinda Jacobs
Issue date: 6/27/07 Section: Pulse
SH: We were playing this show, and were pretty unknown, and they had made a giant sign for it, but it said "Sexmore Saves the World" instead of Seymore. We kept the sign after the show. That's probably the worst misspelling we've ever had of the name. It was pretty funny though. "Sexmore Saves the World."
MJ: Nice. Do you have your name misspelled often then?
SH: Yeah, I guess "Seymore" is normally spelled "Seymour" so we get a lot of those kinds of misspellings often. I didn't know that at the time it was spelled the other way, but I spelled it the way I wanted it to be anyway. Also sometimes we get things like "saves the day" and misspellings such as that.
MJ: What's the coolest gig you have ever done?
SH: Our CD Release Party at the Varsity Theatre. It was a beautiful theatre and we played really well. Usually Shawn and I are picky about our own performances, but we both came off saying "wow we really nailed it."
MJ: And your favorite venue?
SH: The Art Museum in St. Paul. It was really cool to play at a museum.
MJ: All right, last question, another random one, are you ready for it?
SH: Sure.
MJ: Who would win in a fight, a penguin or a badger?
SH: Hm. A badger I think. More teeth and things it could use as weapons on it.
And there you have it. If you're interested in hearing more, Seymore Saves the World performs Wednesday night at Howard's.
