In late October, the Bruce Lee Band released their latest EP, called Rental!! Eviction!! We spoke with singer Mike Park last week and discussed how it was written and recorded. We also talked about some of the song’s lyrics and their recent shows in San Francisco and Hawaii. On this recording, the band’s lineup consists Jeff Rosenstock on bass, Dan Potthast on keyboards and guitar, and Kevin Higuchi on drums, (Park is responsible for vocals and saxophone). Rental!!
