Kevin,You play in several bands at the same time.. Tell me about that.
Well, it's rough, and fun.. I practice with Deadfood, Fetus Eaters and
WATCH ME BURN 4 or 5 days a week.. So I pretty much don't have any time to
do anything else... so when I am at work, I try to watch movies, write,
and answer my e-mail, and take care of the mail for the bands - I am
usually very busy and have no time to kick back.. If I do get a chance to
chill out, I read, or paint, or draw., or write more music for WATCH ME
BURN.
FETUS is your nickname, does it have any concern with the famous
Australian Fetus
Um... No, I have no idea what you are talking about..
Creation of what people in the world of cinema, music, and literature
have influenced you.
Movies- Gummo, Julien- Donkey-Boy, Boogie Nights, Texas Chainsaw
massacre, any good horror movie) Cheech & Chong.
Music, anything with John Zorn, Naked City, Mr Bungle, Slayer, Black
Sabbath, Melt Banana, Brutal Truth, and this girl Joyce I work with-haha-
a really hot middle eastern woman- a MILTF ( mom I'd like to fuck)
Literature.. Naked Lunch by William Burroughs, Charles Bukowski, Henry
Rollins (a long time ago- his books are cool, but his music now sucks)
DEADFOOD-Weird
Feelings CD (self -released?) Wow ! This is definitely not a CD for closed-minded listeners. DEADFOOD hails from Burbank, CA, and is comprised of member (S) of Vomit-core grind unit FETUS EATERS. However, DEADFOOD sounds nothings like them. DEADFOOD! is simply brilliant. It is surrealism in music, the Duchamp-esque approach to it, or maybe Dali or Max Ernst. Musically, DEADFOOD takes the cake for being eclectic. Sounds like JOHN ZORN, THE RUINS, FAUST, ORNETTE COLEMAN, mixed and blended to perfection with some grind elements. I think fans of more experimental extreme music like GASP, MELT BANANA, NAKED CITY, DISCORDANCE AXIS, ECT. , could all listen to this and enjoy it. One of the cool parts on this CD is their version of the grind classic, "COLOSTOMY GRAB BAG", by the legendary grinders, OLD LADY DRIVERS. Pick this up if you're getting tired of you basic extreme music formulas. Sicknoise Zine - TX |
Deadfood's music is not traditional, do you have any problems with concerts?
yes we do, sometimes the club wont book us because we cant fit into any category,
so they cant book us with other bands, sometimes the sound man with cut our
set short... so when they do that, we unload a ton of feeback into the club
and make the people leave... we are trying to set up a tour for the US right
now, and I found out that some clubs have laughed at our
music... and wont let us play because they feel that we wont be able to pull
off our music live or something like that.. Fuck em-- scum bags..
What qualities must the label have to make Deadfood never appear on it..
I'm not sure if i understand the question. If a label wants us... all
they have to do is ask- We wont sign to a label that is racist or
anything.. Also, we want a label that believes in us, that wants to promote
us.
Many bands propagand the esthetic of the dush of the west civilization and it's culture,,, do you think it's actual
Um.... as long as you believe in what you're doing, and are honest about it.. Then that is cool with me.. Music should be fun, a way to let out frustration, anger, creativity... Some people use it for political reasons, or racist views, or whatever, I don't, I l just like to play and have fun.
How do you feel that some fanzines don't review CD's of the bands when
there is an identification code on it.
If a band takes it's time to record a cd or tape, or piece of vinyl,
and then send it to a zine for review, then it should get reviewed...
sometimes I get really shity sounding tapes, or cd's, but I will take
the time to listen to it, if I don't like it., that is my opinion, some
zines don't even properly review the music, they just talk shit about
everything else but the actual content of the recording- and that is fucked
up.
Have you ever been to Europe.....
No... but I really want to go
How strong is the nazi scene in California, do you feel any discomfort
because of that.
Nazism is stupid.. Racism is stupid... If you're going to hate someone for
the color of their skin, or religious background then fuck you.. I would
rather hate them for the individual piece of shit that they are..
I don't know of any nazi's in California, there must be some here, but I
don't know any...
What your attitude towards Bush and his administration.
Fuck George Bush, he's an idiot, a fucking figure head, he does what
people tell him, he's a fucking moron.. His whole family sucks, they all
want war.. And war is lame... it's sometimes necessary, but I am not into
all that violence... people should just relax...
From my point of view that after Sept. 11 in American society the
tendency to divide everybody on "ours and "aliens" grows up..
black..white
vision of the world.. Something like" If there is no American flag in
your ass, then you're in Bin Ladens's, what's your opinion about that.
Fuck Bin Laden.. Fuck religion, that what this whole thing is about...
well, that and the land that that Israel and Palestine are fighting over...
The white man stole America from the Indians, it's the same thing, it's
fucked up... I don't care what happens, I hope they all die- soon. This war
will never end, because of ignorance.. You will never win over terrorism,
it will always be there... just try to be a good person on your own, don't
hurt anyone, be creative, .
What do you think about feminism and abortion problem.
If a girl wants an abortion, then she should be able to have one, it's her
body... Besides, there are to many people in the world, no one should have
a child for 2 years, the worlds population is too much... which makes way
for more ignorance, theft, disease, famin, it sucks..
Do you have anything else to say.
