Jason Rivera, frontman of the band Gaytheist, contemplated stepping back from music after the pandemic but found renewed enthusiasm through their latest album, The Mustache Stays. Working full-time at a clinic, Rivera questioned his commitment to the band after years of hard touring. However, with a strong lineup since 2011 and a successful new album recorded with long-time collaborator Stephan Hawkes, Rivera felt invigorated, leading to plans for new tours and a sense of revitalization in their sound and reception.
I was like, 'I'm in my 50s. Maybe it's time to kind of step back.' But I wasn't sure.
This is the first time we actually just sat and worked on the album a lot.
The recording turned out so good, in our opinion. We were really happy with it.
Tim went and got another van, and we've been getting some really good feedback.
