How old are each of you?

GG: 25.

YC: 26.

What was the first show you produced?

GG: The Holy Terrors. The real, real first show was really just a party. We brought down a band from Orlando called Shotgun Wedding. It was cool.

What are your favorite bands?

GG: Sonic Youth.

YC: The Breeders.

GG: Yeah, The Breeders. Mars Volta.

What brought you to Bikini Bob's, where By the Way has recently begun presenting concerts?

GG: The view. The ocean.

What song are you embarrassed to admit you like?

GG: Whatever that first Shakira hit was, 'cause I liked it -- unfortunately.

YC: I don't know. I'll have to think about that one.

You're in a band called Dooms de Pop. So when do you predict Doomsday will hit?

GG: Right around Christmastime. I'll say Christmastime 2007.

What do you want to do with By the Way? Where do you see it going?

YC: We want to get artists and musicians who are not under contract or established -- the people who have to have day jobs to do what they want to be doing -- and get those people out. We want to start a Web site and magazine to promote those people.

GG: Right. Like the store clerk who's really a ballerina. Or the violinist who works at Eckerd.

Speaking of which, do you have other jobs?

GG: Currently? No.

YC: We live on a budget, and we do this. We struggle, but it's fun. We're doing what we want to be doing. … Hey, everybody likes "Copa Cabana," right?

What, the Barry Manilow song?

YC: Yeah. That's my favorite embarrassing tune.

-- Dan Sweeney

Dooms de Pop will perform 1:30 a.m. Saturday at the City Link Music Fest in downtown Hollywood. For more information, see . For more on By the Way, visit www.bythewaymagazine.com.
