This interview was sent in by Brian,
it was originally supposted to appear in the Bitchslap! zine but it never got released, it's from Feb 2000.
thanks to Brian for sending it in.
Welp,as I hazily recall, a few years back I was walking about alphabet city with my friend John on what had become a daily mission for us that winter.
Anyways I don't how it came up,but I thought it was cool 'cuz it was a new oxymoron.
John is dead now, he was a cool mother-fucker in spite of his love of the "jungle-techno" or whatever the kids are calling that Nintendo music.
I guess the day on ave.B when it was thought of, I already had a lot of the songs writ, ya'know C.V. rejects and Jesus-fuck, is it just me,or am I one boring-ass mother-fucker?
I turned 24 yesterday, I got blacked-out drunk at the "C"squat, or what-ever the kids are calling it these days. we're mostly in our 20's O.K.!!! Stop yelling at me!!!!!!!!!
"Shoot the Kids at School" will be out on Hell-cat records by september...........Hopefully.
right now we're playing on April first at the old C-squat & on the 4th at the Knitting factory, I don't know if there'll be any knitting though.
Word-up!
I think he needs to be assasinated. Could someone please take that fucking asshole out? I mean I can put out a hit on a six year old girl, but this motherfucker's still breathing? come on people, don't be so damn random.
I don't know, I seen'em at abc no rio in '93 or somethin',they were good. They're political,right? that's always good
I'm down for the struggle, except for that racist/nazi shit, but who knows if that was a media-fabrication or not? we'll just chalk it up to bored/naive youth, God love "em
I don't remember well enough, what with the dropping-out & all. There was this one chick in my 2nd grade class that stole my Jell-o this one time, it would definately have to be her.
you mean C.V.? Welp, we've each been prolifically homeless in our own right, but we were collectively homeless in S.F. in the summer of '97.
Skwert drummed on buckets by Powell & Market, I panhandled & did the old workfare/welfare garbage,
Shayne drew the view down market st. in chalk on the side-walk to the delight of peoples young & old,
that's his round-about way of pan-handling & Ezra was still just a gleam in his Canadian parents eyes. Come to think of it he might of been born already, but he was probably still a tiny baby & a guitar would have been much to heavy for the little-guy.
We played our best show ever with Huasipungo @ Gilman st. that summer, we had to take the Bart with the old shopping cart & Skwerts big-ass dog Screech, them were fun times.
I don't know, stuff? we are great pen-pals
It seemed like the right thing to do & a tastey way to do it
I like the ska songs, but I never really listened to the first 3 records. I sound like a politician, don't I ?
Me & my fellow Christ-Killers were forced to go to temple, Boi!
Rock the Forty-ounce, well executed. Let's do it again, I'm fucking there.
Heavy Metal means '80's hair-cheese, so I will have to say the mighty Twisted Sister "Yer gonna'burn in hell!!" I don't know about you, but I'm scared-straight!
INDK,Virulent Strain,Banji. There not all squatters, but we can't all be perfect, right?
