1. Who are your heroes?

Frank Zappa, Aldus Huxley, Miles Davis, Dee Dee Ramone, Chris Knox, Moebius, Iggy, Maui, Loki, Raven, Bartok, Kubrick, Lynch, Lennon, Ad Reinhardt, Jimmy Page, Greg Saunier, Omar Rodriguez, John Lydon, Mark E Smith, Mitch Mitchell, Brian Jones, Damo Suzuki, Larry David, Ricky Gervais, Phil Spector, Colin Blunstone, Billy Cobham, Thelonius Monk…

2. You are guilty of shameful things. What are these things?

When me and my brother Kody were kids we used to make out in my parents bed. I don’t know why. We were just horny kids I guess.

3. Describe the raddest heist you’ve ever pulled off. What’d you steal?

Me and Kody used to write graffiti when we were kids and once we racked about 500 New Zealand dollars worth of spray paint.

4. What’s the dumbest thing that’s been said to you after a show?

Kody kicked this girl that Paul brought around to our house off his drum kit because she didn’t even ask to play it and then she came to a show and said ‘I would have come to your last show but because you told me to get off your drum kit I didn’t’.

5. Time for REAL TALK: Who is the biggest asshole you’ve ever shared a stage with?

Dave from Whirlwind Heat was kind of douchy. Tried to be nice to him but he always gave shitty backhanded compliments. I like the band though. Most of the real rock star assholes we’ve met over the years have been nameless loser metalcore dicks who are digging holes for a living now.

6. Who would you rather eat dinner with, Danny Devito or Dog The Bounty Hounter?

Danny Devito. On Twitter he said “I ate like I was going to the chair” once. So Danny would be funny and also he would know the best places to eat.

7. Was middle school your Vietnam? What were your survival tactics?

I was really tiny and I went to a school which was mostly giant polynesian kids. I used to brutalize them with my insults but one day I got my ass beaten for it. I was a ridiculous slut, I tried to lose my virginity when I was 11, I suppose I tried to mostly hang out with girls who would let me put my tongue on them, rather than boys who would punch my face.

8. Do you have hope for this new generation of Lindsay Lohan worshiping, TMZ sucking, music downloading (and have never owned a cd or LP), fast food gobbling teenagers? Are they a lost cause?

Pretty much. But our generation of iphone worshipping, Transformers movie watching, cargo shorts wearing, Kings of Leon listening, Facebook mafia game playing, Obama believing tech lemmings aren’t the greatest people history has ever seen either. The baby boomers are such a shitty generation and yet they have Jimi Hendrix and Hunter S. Thompson. Who the fuck do we have? Nobody. I hate my generation.

9. What film has opened your eyes?

I just watch films for entertainment. I like stupid, funny movies and horror movies. I don’t watch well-made movies if they’re depressing or boring. The most enlightening film I’ve seen in the last five years is probably ‘The Happiness of the Katakuris’. That movie made me feel good.

10. Kanye West: revolutionary voice of a generation or revolutionary faggot?

Kanye West just bores me. He’s a gold medalist in the special olympics, but that doesn’t mean I have to care. That last album must sound like Mozart if you’ve had your head up Perez Hilton’s ass for the last three years.

11. What’s the most important lesson you’ve ever learned?

There’s a space in the brain and in culture that is neither here nor there, and that’s the place where I feel comfortable.

12. What band should we be listening to?

Fetus Productions.

13. Give the internet some words to live by.

Fuck the crowd.
