Q: When/where did you guys meet?
A: April 24, 2006. Menswear department at Macy’s. No lie.
Q: How would you describe your music?
A: Red with puke green flashes.
Q: You guys seem to have different backgrounds (Reigning Sound, Panther Burns, Vending Machine, Gun Club, Big Ass Truck, Pump Action Retards et al). Is there anything you all agree on musically?
A: Randy Van Warmer and Dean Friedman.
Q: Jeremy, what inspires you as a songwriter?
A: Bicameral legislation, teenage prostitution and Chewy Spree.
Q: So you’re in the studio now? How is that going?
A: Pretty OK. At first we just started showing up at Rocket Science for the sole purpose of annoying Kyle, but decided to actually “put some things down,” as musician types say. So far, the carnage includes four frogs, two praying mantises and Steve’s imaginary armadillo, Akbar. Oh yeah, and we’re progressing nicely on a full-length.
Q: Grayson, what is your outlook on life?
A: I don’t really like white people.
Q: When are you planning to tour?
A: We’ll have to see. It would kind of depend on when we can collectively get out of the witness protection program. Nobody knows the troubles we’ve seen. . .By the way, we cannot tell you our real names.
Q: Is there anything else you would like to add?
A: Shoes For Industry!
The most fulfilling time of my life was spent in-studio with the Wallendas. And, Jeremy, that stain'll come right out with a little witch hazel...sorry about that.
Wow - I'd almost given up hope, but am glad to see Mr. Duckworth is within your ranks, still burning up the frets. Stumbled upon a Dutch TV clip of the Gun Club the other day, doing a smoking version of 'The Lie', and it cast my memory back to recall having had the distinct pleasure of seeing Mr. D pass through Wash. DC on three consecutive occasions - with LX Chilton (a set as brilliant a mess as Alex was at the time), then Tav Falco throwing his mask awaaaay, and finally Jeffrey Lee's mob, all fantastic. Jim's def. one of the great underappreciated guitar slingers...and the tunes you got up are pretty swank...keep on keeping on!
