LUNACHICKS
(From page 78) Neil Diamond. Gina:
Low Meato. Felix: Very funny.
Theo: I notice a lot of young boys
coming to our shows. Sindi: EX.
CUSE ME!! Was anybody watch
ing? Becky: I thought you were
keeping score. Sindi: Why do I
always have to keep score? Why do
I always have to collect money and
book shows? Squid: Because
you're the mature one, the brains, the
business manager... Sindi: The
sucker (Squid gets her first strike of
the day. We are forced to ask the
8-year-old in the next lane how to
score a strike since no one in our
group knows how.)
5th Frame
Felix: Gina, what other guitarists/
bowlers do you like? Gina: No
one-nah, I'm lying-I like Angus
Young, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix
and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Felix: All
very fine bowlers too. How long
have you been playing guitar,
Sindi? Sindi: Since the start of the
day-no wait-I'm planning on learn-
ing to play real soon. Felix: Do you
listen to any other bands? Theo
I listen to muzak all day. Squid: We
love Juice Newton, Asia and
Rush. Felix: None of them bowl.
Squid: Well Jack Bruce is a cool guy.
I think he bowls. Sindi: I listen to
any band that gives me a free T-shirt
(medium or large). Gina: We like
GWAR even though they didn't give
me a T-shirt. Becky: Why can't wei
bowl against another band?
6th Frame
Felix: When is the album coming
out? Sindi: It should be out late
March or early April on Blast First:
it was produced by Wharton Tiers at
Sorcerer Sound. Squid: Yeah, all we
did was eat cookies and watch cable.
TV. Felix: I can't believe it-NO
BOWLING!! Becky: Look at
Squid's shoes-size 8. Sindi:
That's a great two-handed throw
she's got. Felix: It's illegal to use
two hands. Becky: No it's not-It's
Lunarules!!
7th Frame
Felix: Theo, How long have you
been singing? Did you sing in any
to the hospital to have it unwound.
8th Frame
Gina: What does the X mean? Does
that mean the game is over? Sindi
No, it means you're a sucker!
9th Frame
Felix: We're getting near the end
of the game-What should I tell
someone who has never seen or
bowled with the Lunachicks? Sindi:
Well, if you're a 14-year-old boy come
to the show and I'll show you what
it's all about! Felix: How do you
feel about all the 70s punk com-
parisons? The Ramones and Sex
Pistols were all great bowlers.
Gina: Yeah, we like the Ramones and
Sex Pistols. Felix: How about
Johnny Cash? Sindi: Yeah, he
wears a lot of black. Felix: What do
the Lunachicks represent? Theo:
The Lunachicks are a lesson to
everyone-tutors to the human
race. Felix: What kind of lesson?
Theo: That it's okay to go berserk,
it's okay to be funny and you should
not take everything so seriously-
Hard Rockin Women' of Power-
Don't be a Wimp! Felix: Are you a
proponent for the rights of women
bowlers? Theo: A lot of the time we
don't think about it, but sometimes
I'll walk down the street and looki
around and most women are not like
us at all-they're either afraid of be-
ing disgusting or think what we do
is gross. We spit on the street and
we barf. There are more women in
the world than men, you know!
Last Frame
Felix: When the lanes are closed,
the pins lifted, and the balls neat-
ly tucked away, where do the
Lunachicks go? Becky: I like to be
driving my gold Cadillac or having
tea and crumpets or visiting the vicar
in England Squid: I want to go to
the monster truck competition-it's
amazing! Theo: Hey wait a
minute-I think Felix cheated-his
ball was too light!
Since my perfect score of 300 was
disqualified, Gina, with a score of 77,
was presented with the champion-
ship trophy in a quiet, but formal.
ceremony
other bands? Gina: She used to KILLING TIME
do a duet with Dinah Shore. Squid:
What about Neil Diamond? Theo:
When I was a little girl, I went over
to Neil Diamond's house and sat on
his lap and Neil said, 'Come a little
closer, little girl, and I said, 'No Neil,
I want you to teach me to sing Barry
Manilow was there too. Gina: Tell
him about ZZ Top Theo: I was on
the road with ZZ Top and got my hair
caught in their beards and had to go
(From page 79
How do you feel about the so-called
Greenhouse Effect, the problems that
cause it, and how only a handful of
people really care to take measures
to protect their living earth?
Carl-I don't know what it matters,
because the world's probably going
to blow up one of these days anyway.
Alex
Carl
Nah, it's going to melt.
There aren't any green-
houses around here anyway.
Alex
Seriously though, I don't
think it's just a handful of people who
care about it. Everyone has thoughts
about what's going to happen sooner
or later. Everyone thinks about it.
They're just too afraid or too lazy to
take action against it.
How do you feel the NYHC scene has
influenced or inspired today's youth?
it it has, what makes it so different
than the earlier scene? What has
changed over the years, if anything?
Carl
The NYHC scene probably
did influence and inspire kids, but I
don't know how much. Hopefully the
kids took it for what it is-it's music,
it's a place for people to grow up, to
come out of their shells. It's a com-
munity where people can get
together and have a good time. It's
something, maybe, someone can
keep for the rest of their life. But then,
you've got these kids who get into it
and don't really know what it's about,
mindlessly scream the lyrics, not
knowing what they mean, just going
down to fight.
Drago Sometimes I think a lot of
the people aren't even there for the
music, which is what it's supposed
to be all about.
Do you think anger will rise even more
in the future, or can peace of mind
prevail? What is a positive attitude?
Carl-I guess it comes down to the
individual. I don't know what it is in
today's world that creates this type
of anger in people. Personally, I think
everyone in the world is striving for
peace of mind. I don't think people
go through this world wanting to be
angry. If whatever this force is goes
away, maybe peace of mind will
prevail, but that's not for me to say,
or me to think about. I just have to
strive for my peace of mind-that's
what I consider a positive attitude.
Drago I don't think anger is such
a huge menace. It's just little pieces
of people's lives that eat at them. If
you're talking about anger on a
worldwide scale, you're getting into
politics. Anger as a part of people's
lives comes and goes. That's just the
way it is. Plain and simple, you can't
be happy all of the time.
How do you feel about business cor-
rupting hardcore, or does it? Why do
HC fans turn face if a band makes a
decision that isn't what they wish the
band would do? Is there hypocrisy in
the HC movement?
Drago-Music is probably the most
important thing to American kids. It's
gone so far that today kids are
categorized and classified by the
music they listen to. Kids might turn
face because they get their identity
from the music, and they don't want
anyone else getting into a band
because they don't want anyone to
take their identity, or their originality
away. As soon as a band they were
into gets more popular or signs onto
a label, they feel threatened. In their
minds, if a band becomes popular
then they become less of an in-
dividual because there will be more
people like them.
Alex-Then they call you a sellout.
Carl-I don't think business is cor
rupting hardcore at all. It's just bring-
ing it to a wider audience.
Drago-The people who don't want
that are little brats. They're scream-
ing. "Sellout, sellout," but in reality
they're screaming. "Mine, mine," like
a little kid when you take his toy away.
Carl Fans who turn face on you,
were never with you. So, yes, there's
hypocrisy in the movement, there's
a mindlessness in the movement.
WARRIOR SOUL
(From page 80) York City. He played.
drums with Raging Slab and Delight
for a period before trying lead singer
duties. His training? Performance
art. Playing around the Apple with his
one-man show of guerilla warfare
verse and backing tapes he made a
name for himself. Told to "Get a
band, man" in late '87, that's just
what he did. Five gigs and a slew of
ex-members later, Warrior Soul-
Clarke, bassist Pete McClanahan,
guitarist John Ricco and ex-Killing
Joke man Paul Ferguson (now ex-
Warrior Soul)-found themselves
signed to Geffen Records. Still un-
sure of exactly how that transpired.
Kory knew he was onto something.
"The name Warrior Soul came
from a movie about Patton my wife
and I were watching one night," he
recalls. "Patton is one of my many
heroes. At the end he's dying and his
wife tells him he'll come back when
the world needs another warrior soul.
That encompasses not only the level
of spirituality I want in this band, but
also the attitude I have toward the
entire music industry
Warrior Soul's album, Last Decade
Dead Century, is politics pure and
simple, delivered against skullyard
riffs and psychedelic guitar gyrations
"It's the last decade in a century
where there's been more death, war
and famine than in any other point
in history. There have never been
mass killings like those that have
happened in the last hundred
years-Stalin, Hitler, all the African
shit wars. I'm sure more will come out
of what happened in China last sum-
mer. It's been the ugliest, most horri-
ble century man's ever seen and this
is the last decade of it. I want those
images to comprise what the album's
about. It's time to look forward."
