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.
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?
LJ: You’re obviously a hopeless romantic….and very gender specific….how many fingers Casanova? I never realised the two were mutually exclusive.
Gus: I like masturbating but not on my own.
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?
LJ: Posters on the wall!!!!? Strictly forbidden. But I did like Alvin Stardust dressed all in black.
Gus: No bedroom, a dormitory sadly.
What’s been your worst gig and why are you glad there’s no footage of it on Youtube … yet?
LJ: Crying during a song. Obviously I don’t want myself or anyone else to be reminded how pathetic are the broken hearted.
Tomorrow’s payday, so we’ve only got $20 to get you drunk. Where do we go and what do we buy with it?
LJ: Use the $20 to pay for the taxi to my place. I have a bottle of tequila from Mexico that I’ve been saving for a special occasion.
Gus: We wouldn’t GO anywhere. Just stay at home and down 8 litres of green suitcase.
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?
LJ: Cheap skate. No wonder it’s so hard to survive as a musician. If ya go to a record store you can buy Monkey’s Blood.
Suppose we put a gun to your head and force you to kiss a member of another Australian band. Who, which band and why?
LJ: Already done it….no weapons required….but don’t ever try to force me to do anything!!!!
Gus: You wouldn’t need a gun, just lots of cold hard cash thanks.
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 there – that we can print?
LJ: By the time I make it to Cherry there is little chance of remembering anything. Lets dance…..
Gus: I fell into the abyss. No, really, I did. And found a secret room, behind the curtain at the back of the stage. Weird man…weird.
The Dacios play Cherry Rock 010 this Sunday in Melbourne. Tickets available from Moshtix
