On November 18th, an off-date from that tour, they came back to LA to open for Kyuss Lives at the Wiltern. Before their set, I had a chance to catch up with all three members and talk to them about these gigs, their latest demo, the DIY approach, and other things. Listen to the 8-minute conversation below, and do yourselves a favor by checking out their full demo <a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/theshrine\/sets\/the-shrine-bless-off-demo\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. Or better, you can buy it for a mere $3, at <a href=\"http:\/\/theshrine.bandcamp.com\/album\/bless-off-demo\" target=\"_blank\">this location<\/a>.
