WHAT WOULD WE FIND IF WE CHECKED OUT YOUR CD COLLECTION?
Chris: Primus, Residents, Public
Enemy, Minutemen
PJ: Tool, Deftones, Korn, Rage
against the machine, Hot Water Music,
NIN, Braid, Leatherface, Radiohead,
Primus
Adam: Paul Van Dyk, Bad Religion,
Sisters of Mercy, Paul Oakenfold, AC/DC,
Bauhaus, Orbital, Crash Pad, etc.
BK: Hmm, you'd find some old
rock and roll, some classical, some jazz
and some pop, power pop, and
punk.
Chris: The one where we didn't
completely fuck up all the songs. Oh wait,
that hasn’t happened yet.
PJ:
For Crash Pad......uh...um...probably the Hempfest show. Why,
you say? Because that's the only show I've played with these guys
so far.
Adam: Either headlining the
1999 Hempfest due to the sheer energy and
tightness of the show, or the
Ft. Myers gig (as a trio) due to the kids’
moshing and reaction.
BK: Those 2 were right up there,
the show we played on one's day's notice
at Brick City (another local club) this summer was great too.
WHAT IS THE BAND’S FINEST HOUR?
Chris: The hour where I spent
two minutes telling Crash Pad I quit and
the other fifty-eight minutes spent eating Funyuns and watching "Cabin
Boy"
PJ: Haven't been around long
enough to find out.
Adam: finest hour... perhaps
when we opened up the Alachua County
Music Harvest (before most of us were in the band).
BK: Well, that I suppose was
the biggest "event" we played (speaking as
the only surviving member from those days), but maybe if we win one
of the 3 1999 Hogtown Music
Awards ("Hammies") for which we've been nominated,
which I highly doubt will happen, that could move up there.
WHAT DOES THE GROUP HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH?
Chris: Nothing short of world
domination. Or second place in some bar band
competition.
IS THE BAND INTERESTED IN OBTAINING MANAGEMENT OR A RECORDING DEAL?
BK:
Hell yeah, bring it on! Management and label people, give us a call.
HOW DO YOU FEEL THE INTERNET CAN HELP YOUR CAREER IN MUSIC?
Chris: By letting us steal other
people's songs in new and exiting ways.
PJ: MP3s and web pages help
expose your music to people that would probably
never hear of you otherwise.
Chris:
Barry Manilow
WHAT IS EACH MEMBER’S FAVORITE FOOD, COLOR AND CITY?
Chris: General Cho's Chicken,
General Cho's yellow, and Gainesville.
PJ: FOOD: Burrito Bros. COLOR:
varies with mood CITY: New York
Adam: Food. Hrm.. is it PC to say women?
No? Tough... that's my favorite snack.
Colour, I'd have to say black, since I'm the "spooky goth kid"
in
the band, the one with dyed black hair, the black tank top, etc.
Favorite city? I like Tampa and Orlando right now, just because of the clubs
and the tattoo parlors... I've
only got one right now, a dragon on the back
of my neck, but two piercing which you'll only see if you're in the
audience.
BK: Probably pizza for food.
For color Adam has already hogged black,
so I'll say camo. I am thinking of putting up a webpage called "Brian
Krashpad's Camouflages du Monde" so that the world can keep track
of my camo collection and get helpful camo fashion hints (e.g., always
make sure those cargo pockets are bellowed, and only surplus camos
count!). For cities I will say London since it's the only real big
exotic city I've been in as an adult. Plus my honeymoon was there.
WHAT ELSE SHOULD WE KNOW?
Chris:
I got kicked out of honor society because I told the principal’s daughter
to **** my ****. And she didn't even do that. True story.
Adam: We're really just musical
whores. We have our own sound and anti-looks,
and will play anywhere, anytime, for pretty much anyone. Hempfest,
Music Harvest, Gay Christians for Satan, Tammy Faye’s Musical Revue,
Copacabana, it doesn't matter, as long as there's someone willing to
listen, we'll be willing to blow some eardrums.
BK: Well, despite what my wife
would say I wouldn't play for anybody with
Satan featured prominently in their group title (Santa, though, I'd
play for him, he could pay in toys), but otherwise yeah, you gotta
stage or a house somewhere, we'll come to you. We aren’t pretty, but
we rock.
