SAIGON KICK frontman Matt Kramer is featured in a new interview discussing ongoing rumours of a full band reunion, and what it would take to make it happen. An excerpt from the story is available below:

Kramer: “We actually almost got together a couple years ago, and I don’t think anybody’s really talked about it publicly. I actually spoke to Jason Bieler (guitars) on the phone and we didn’t try to kill each other (laughs). It was a very gentlemanly conversation. I went in with my concerns, and I went in saying that I would like an equal share, of course, all the way down the line, even if I wasn’t in the band. We couldn’t come to an agreement on that, but that’s what I’m looking for. That’s the only way I can build up the brand again, because it isn’t doing very much right now. I’m always the singer of Saigon Kick, I don’t have to go out there in order to be the singer of Saigon Kick, but everybody seems to want to get out there. Can we come to terms? That, unfortunately, is the political bullshit of the matter, which definitely sucks because it would be cool to get back out there and rock again. I’m certainly in vocal shape, because I’m training singers now. My voice has never been better; it’s way better now that when Saigon Kick was active because I train every day. The band would definitely tear it up.”

“It almost happened, and I keep getting emails asking about us getting back together,” he adds. “It’s just that those conditions have to be met. I’m a founding member of Saigon Kick and I was the lead vocalist, and unfortunately my laid back approach tends to get me stepped on once in a while. In this case I have to stand firm.”
