We’d like to know a little bit about you for our files, however we don’t like regurgitating press releases or asking the easy questions. No-one gets out of the Tone Deaf Inquisition lightly, so just hold still, grit your teeth, clench your buttocks and be still while we put on the rubber gloves, apply the thumbscrews, and pull out our thermometer while you open up and say ahhhhhhhhhhh… Truthful answers only or we drink your rider while you’re on stage.

CUZ (guitar, MAMMOTH MAMMOTH)….

Everyone joins or forms a band to get laid. If your band represents your sex life are you Casanova or spending plenty of time doing the five knuckle shuffle?
The only chicks who come to our shows are lesbians. We’ve boned a few of them but I don’t think that counts. I think it actually makes us gay.

We don’t want to know about the painfully hip bands your press release says you’re influenced by. Take us back to your bedroom when you were 14. What band posters did you have on the wall?
Samantha Fox and Warrant.

What’s been your worst gig and why are you glad there’s no footage of it on Youtube … yet?
The one we did at the Peel. Not one chick showed up.

Tomorrow’s payday, so we’ve only got $20 to get you drunk. Where do we go and what do we buy with it?
I’d give it straight to our bass player. He has a knack of turning small amounts of cash into enough bad quality pills that we’d get a good 6 hours out of that $20 bucks of yours.

We’ve been looking in the $2 bin at Dixons Recycled and also bidding on eBay – what releases are we looking for there that your band has put out?
Our self title EP “MAMMOTH MAMMOTH, and our last album called “MAMMOTH”. We’d be stoked to get $2 for em.

Suppose we put a gun to your head and force you to kiss a member of another Australian band. Who, which band and why?
Thats easy. We would all choose to kiss the back of Angry Anderson’s neck. But we’d make him tilt his head up so the fold in his neck looked and felt like a shaved pussy.

You’re playing at Cherryrock 010. Everyone’s had a pretty wild night out at Cherry over the last 10 years. What happened on your wildest night – that we can print?
It involved a plastic drop sheet, the disabled dunnies, 4 pills, a fun size Milky Way and the drummer of the Donnas.

Mammoth Mammoth play Cherry Rock 010 this Sunday May 2nd in Melbourne.
