Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Vienna Teng and Alex Wong to discuss her new album, "Inland Territory," live performances and Germany. Thanks to Vienna Teng and Alex Wong for spending their time with Hightower and Jones as well as Ward Williams for his contributions to her live show. Also, thank you for the encore. It was definitely one of the coolest experiences I've ever had.

This is part one of a backstage interview with Vienna Teng & Alex Wong recorded on April 17, 2009 at Schubas. For more on Vienna Teng & Alex Wong as well as mixtapes and other musical interests, visit hightowerandjones.blogspot.com
