KOE WETZEL ON NEW MUSIC, TOURING AND RUNNING FROM THE COPS
SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT

When Koe Wetzel and the Konvicts landed on the music scene, no one in the band had a single criminal charge under their belt despite their clever moniker. That, however, quickly changed. It could be that there was one bad influence, or maybe their combined powers just invited hell-raising, but by the time the group dropped their first two albums, “Out on Parole" and "Noise Complaint," Wetzel had an extensive rap sheet. “I think evading arrest was the crime my mother's not the happiest about," Wetzel says. "We'd planned a show in San Marcos, Texas, and we were given a house by the river. On July 3, we got really tanked up drinking Rumple Minze straight out of the bottle and a boat came by blaring my music. Solgot on the boat and we got drunk as shit, then we went to the bar.

"The bouncer was like, 'You can't come in, you're too fucked up,' and I was being a complete asshole," he continues. "I brush by him and go straight to the bar, then a cop comes and drags me outside. In my drunken stupor, I'm thinking, 'He's a fat dude, I can run away from him pretty quick.' So I start running, then I run into this dude, and that asshole fucking tackles me. So the cop comes, puts his gun on me, and says, 'Don't move!' My lawyer made me watch the video over and over again."
