Following the release of "The Journey Is Long", Cave gave an interview to Gun Club biographer Gene Temesy, who planned to use the interview in a future book on the history of the Gun Club. During the interview, published on Australian web-based magazine "Mess and Noise", Cave spoke of his relationship with Pierce, including their initial encounter: "Yeah, I think we went to see "Under The Volcano". And then we retired back to my place. I think Henry Rollins might have been there as well actually. Jeffrey & I sat around and took loads of drugs & watched Henry do push-ups."
