"You've gotta give audiences something they can't get on the record," Jackson observes.

"And each show is different because each audience is different," adds Everett.

Rock 'n' roll doctrine: "Most bands nowadays have roots that go back maybe five years. We're not geniuses. We're just creating something out of something that came before."

"Actually, apathetic audiences have gotten some of our best shows," says Meyer, laughing. "Playing for 10 people who aren't even looking at the stage, that's when you learn a lot about working an audience. Personally, I'd rather see people walk out than just be complacent. At least that way, they'll remember us."

The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs are scheduled to perform on Saturday, September 25, at the Hollywood Alley in Mesa, with Destroy Your Generation DJs. Showtime is 8 p.m.
