Skinlab Ready To Rock Again Following Illness

Thrashpit.com: How has your health been since the illness that caused Skinlab to cancel their US tour was discovered? Esquivel: My lungs are back to normal and ready to rock. We've played a few shows since then. I just need to take care of myself better on the road, between climate changes and temperature changes, second hand smoke...all that sh*t matters. After not touring for a few years, since the ban of smoking in most clubs, it really took the life out of me when we got to the Midwest or back east where chain smoking if off the hook. I never noticed it before as much as the last run we did. Cigarette smoke is f*cking brutal (laughs), and it was tuff watching the guys get to party it up while I'm barely able to breathe. For the most part I'm ready and the boys are ready � we just need to set up a solid tour!

Thrashpit.com: Will Skinlab's long-awaited DVD finally see a release in 2010? Esquivel: Yup! We've been working on it for years it seems like haha. We're looking to shoot an upcoming show with the new line-up and then will begin adding stuff from then on; hopefully by the end of the year we'll be ready with more than enough footage.
