NB
Dwarves exist for years now and your music
changed - from your 1st album which is pure garage punk to even using techno
in some songs on your last LP - "Come Clean". So you probably like different
stuff - do you also like techno and how did you come to idea to mix it
with punk?
D
The Dwarves are all things to all people.
NB
Can we expect more techno punk on upcoming
releases?
D
Expect the unexpected. We'll let other
punk bands do the same thing over and over again.
NB
What do you think about garage punk scene
today? Lot of the bands are in my opinion just a bad copy of some old bands
and there are no innovations. Are there any new bands that you like?
D
We mostly like weird old records and weird
new records. Copy stuff is a little tedious. Especially garage
charmkins.
NB
Your lyrics are very violent, but your songs
are very catchy and poppy - why that combination?
D
Because violence is fun!
NB
How violent are you guys really? I remember
your last gig in Amsterdam - Blag tried to provoke the audience - they
were probably too tame???!!! Do you have fights with audience sometimes?
D
It depends if we're satiated with drugs and
teenage women beforehand.
NB
Is "he who can not be named" always naked
on the stage and why?
D
Because he looks so good with his clothes
off.
NB
What do you prefer drugs or alcohol?
D
Yes.
NB
What do you think about Epitaph? Your records
are all I have from that label - the rest sucks.
D
Epitaph was cool when they were giving us
lots of cash. Now they're just Epitaph again.
NB
Who were the members of Suburban Nightmare
and tell me more about them?
D
There was Julius Seizure, Herr Pete, Pete
Vietnam and Hal Low. They all went on to get other funny names and
play on Dwarves records. Now they all drool into a paper cup and
dream about the old days.
NB
I have Suburban Nightmare LP on tape. Are
you ever going to re-release it - it's so difficult to get it and it's
great stuff?
D
It has been rereleased. The "Lick-It!"
CD has all that stuff and more.
NB
What's your favorite Dwarves record and song?
D
I like Blood Guts and Come Clean. Two
sides of the wrong coin.
NB
When can we expect some new releases?
D
Check the merch list below.
NB
When are you coming to Holland again?
D
No plans to tour right now, but you never
know.
NB
Is there anything you want to say to No Brains
readers?
D
Dwarves love you, so take your clothes off
and listen! |
