April 2008 - Kristian Hoffman Interview

	April 2008

I couldn't resist interviewing Kristian Hoffman. Not only was I a fan of his music with The Mumps, but he played a vital role in the music of Klaus Nomi, one of our queer music culture's most unusual characters. And The Mumps was probably the first pop/punk band with an openly gay lead singer, Lance Loud. It was fun to dig deeper into Kristian's many side projects over the years, bringing us up to date, and including a sneak preview of his upcoming album, "FOP."
