It's been a little over nine months since Matt Wachter joined Angels and Airwaves. So how's the former 30 Seconds To Mars bassist doing in his new gig? We caught up with Matt right before he and AVA set off on tour with The Color Fred, Ace Enders, and former Alloy bloggers Meg and Dia, and he told us what's up with the AVA movie, what it's like playing an underappreciated instrument, and why he would never egg Jared Leto's house.

So what are you guys up to these days?
Today we're starting rehearsals for the February tour. Just kind of preparing for that. And keeping busy with our website, which is launching this new platform to keep more of an interaction between us and the fans. The full version of that is launching this spring, so what's out now is kind of a soft release. We're just going really well. Keeping [ourselves] busy.
