Lead singer Rob Vicars took some time out of his busy schedule to answer a few random questions for altsounds.......
[altsounds] Why should people buy your new CD?
[Rob] Because if you don’t, a ruthless gang of armadillos, will corner you when you least expect it, and before your very eyes they will burn all governmental paper work you own, before making rude remarks about your Mother for several hours. Can you risk NOT buying our CD!??
[altsounds] What is one thing that you have seen that you will forever wish that you could un-see?
[Rob] Seb, in his various forms and guises.
[altsounds] Do you have any phobias, if so what is it(are they)?
[Rob] Ghosts. Hate the entire concept of them. The Sixth Sense owes me about 6 months worth of child-hood sleep.
[altsounds] How many Myspace Friends have you got?
[Rob] I dunno, tons.
[altsounds] Who is the biggest asshole you have ever met and why?
[Rob] I won’t mention names, but we were once treated immensely unjustly at a show, which ended in Seb complaining a bit, and then he got a punch in the face. That person or more accurately, douchebag that punched Seb in the face, over a quibble with time slots and who’s playing when, is one of those people that just make me a little despondent for the whole human race.
[altsounds] What is the stupidest thing you have ever said to a girl?
[Rob] Most communication I have with girls, on the off chance they talk to me, involves saying something stupid. To pick one thing, significantly stupider than all the others, is some sort of gargantuan task I don’t think I have the energy to attempt right now.
[altsounds] What will your funeral be like
[Rob] I imagine I’ll be quite dead, so I won’t care that much.
[altsounds] Would you rather have no arms, or no legs?
[Rob] No legs. But if it’s all the same to you, I’ll keep them both cheers.
[altsounds] What is the first album you ever bought?
[Rob] I think it was Dude Ranch by Blink. I love that CD. TO PIECES.
[altsounds] Please tell us your favourite ever joke.
[Rob] What’s big and white, and hurts when it falls on your head?
A fridge.
[altsounds] Who is your favourite Star Wars character?
[Rob] Darth Vader’s the obvious choice, but then Jango Fett’s up there as well. But then there’s always a special place for R2, and his fantastic one liners.
You know what, don’t get me started on Star Wars... we will be here ALL YEAR.
[altsounds] When was the last time you pooed yourself?
[Rob] Regrettably, I have no recollection of this. Thanks for asking though, I’m glad, if a little disturbed, you’re interested.
[altsounds] If you were stranded on a desert island what one item would you wish you had?
[Rob] I can only WISH for one item? That kinda sucks. Could I not have one item, and wish for everything else?
Anyway, I’d wish for a helicopter, complete with manual. So I could fly home. If I can’t have the manual too, I’ll just wing it... I wouldn’t get very far trying to fly the instructions home.
[altsounds] What would be your choice of super power?
[Rob] Invisibility, often I feel like I already have that super power though, so otherwise, it’d probably be the ability to fly. And then I could fly away from awkward situations. Like this one.
[altsounds] What is your ideal night out? What does it involve?
[Rob] Generally, I don’t enjoy nights out. The opportunity to hang about with lots of people you either don’t know or don’t like under one roof, while they all spew inane chatter and all you have to do is drink, which means before long you’re actually telling all these people that you’d rather spend an evening surgically removing a cows testicles than hanging out with them, is one I scarcely feel the need to take. For that reason, decent nights out for me are sitting in a decent pub with decent people and drinking away the day you’ve had at work.
I’m so upbeat and optimistic.
[altsounds] What is the best venue you have ever played and why?
[Rob] The Barfly in Brum was pretty fucking awesome. Actual backstage, not that we spent much time there, and the ability to RUN on stage. Actual running. We could stand so far apart there was only a SLIGHT CHANCE one of us would get hurt. Amazing eh?
Also, The Scala in London was quite incredible too, though our entire Channel 4-related experience is all a bit of a blur to me these days. But yes, massive place, the height of awesomeness.
[altsounds] Who is your biggest fan?
[Rob] You. If you are reading this, congratulations! You now have the overwhelming burden of being the envy of ALL YOUR FRIENDS. You must attend every gig, learn all the words and mention the band at every available opportunity
Yours, Lavondyss.
[altsounds] What's the worst ever injury you have sustained?
[Rob] Mine personally have never been at all bad. Sam however, once spent the night in A&E after Seb decided his bass might be a nice addition to his left eye. At the end of our old set, we had a really crazy part where everyone lost what was left of their tiny little minds... Seb’s bass came up, Sam’s head went down and BANG. The stage turned a new colour coined ‘shade of eye’. Or red... whatever works best.
So yeah, we were quite worried Sam was going to turn into some sort of pirate after that, but luckily he escaped with only a hideously bruised eye for a few weeks! All’s well that ends well eh!
[altsounds] What would you spend your last 25 quid in the world on?
[Rob] Probably video games. That or a Burger King, and then booze... in an attempt to soften the harsh reality of my impending death. Maybe. Again with the optimism eh.
[altsounds] What is your dream musical equipment setup?
[Rob] Ernie Ball Stingray 4 stringed bass, Ampeg 8x10 cab and SVT head....
I mean... what?
