Cavity Search: Words with Masked Intruder’s Blue

Masked Intruder are a band of convicts from Wisconsin. They’re known for their poppy, catchy hooks and sunny songs of love, life and crime in and out of the Big House, as well as for their color coordination. Each member, Blue, Red, Yellow and Green, has matching shoes, instruments and ski masks. And while their true identity may never be known, even by them, they’ve gathered an impressive following for a band so recently released from incarceration.

They’re about to hit the road with Strung Out, which includes a cross Canada run. I gave Blue a call in an undisclosed location to discuss the tour, the fans and, of course, prison.  READ FULL INTERVIEW ON PAGE 42
