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?
Let’s just say, we’re still master of our domain.
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?
Some amongst others would be, The Beatles, The Strokes, The Vines, Led Zeppelin, Return Of The Jedi Ewok poster (mint condition) Some cheap pornos stashed under the bed, along side some cheap guitars, mainly Strat copies and an empty packet of Doritos…
What’s been your worst gig and why are you glad there’s no footage of it on Youtube … yet?
Everybody always asks us this question! It’s like “what’s your favourite movie of all time???” I don’t fucking know!
If you’re in a band, you’re going to play some shit gigs… a lot of shit gigs! We can only pray they don’t end up on Youtube!
Tomorrow’s payday, so we’ve only got $20 to get you drunk. Where do we go and what do we buy with it?
Buy a cask of Goon, go drink it in the park, then sneak into Cherry Rock!
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?
None! Because they’re all being held be adoring fans. Next question!
Suppose we put a gun to your head and force you to kiss a member of another Australian band. Who, which band and why?
Would probably be Dash And Will… But you wouldn’t have to put a gun to my head to make me kiss them! Maybe the other way round?
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?
Ahhh yes we’ve all had plenty good times at Cherry! I was actually there a couple of weeks ago for a lock in. Lets just say, there was a fuck load of Jager, there was bar stuff dancing on the bar. And I might have macked on with someone in the cool room! Then I slept in my car which I’d parked in the Captain Snooze car park…. Ironic hey?
The Fearless Vampire Killers play Cherry Rock 010 this Sunday May 2nd in Melbourne.
If you haven’t already get your hand on some tickets from Moshtix
