Dave Vassalottie (Merchandise)
 
Do you have a favourite Canadian band?

Neil Young and Leonard Cohen are my songwriting idols, but they’re not bands, so I’m gonna go with NoMeansNo.

What’s your weirdest experience in Canada?

Seeing an older woman shoot junk into her neck on the side of a real busy street at noontime in Vancouver. She was holding a compact mirror to line it all up. I see crazy shit all the time living in Florida, but that image remains vivid in my brain.

What is the best thing to happen at one of your shows?

I’m in another world mentally whenever we play, plus I’m blind as a bat. I never have any idea what’s going on during the show other than the sound of the drums and my guitar. The sets on this tour have grown increasingly nihilistic so I feel the best is yet to come. We’ll be lunatics by the time we make it to Ottawa.

What is the weirdest thing you’ve found at a second-hand store?

A small leatherbound journal that was once a child’s diary. There are only a few entries in it, but it’s pretty wild. Lots of adolescent ramblings about touching poop, the “rules of magick”, the death of an uncle, and how this kid’s dad “sucks fucking dick.” Crude drawings galore. Most of the book is blank, so I use it for my own note-taking now. Best $0.80 I ever spent.

What’s the worst job you’ve ever had?

Selling ice cream at a place that requires employees to sing stupid jingles and parodies to the customers. I lasted 10 days before getting the axe.

What do you hate talking about in interviews most?

Everything, especially music and the meaning of lyrics. I just hate talking in general. If this was a phone conversation, it would’ve been done after a few words.

Have you ever been in a fight? Do you have advice on getting into a fight?

No, not a real-deal street fight. I’m a pretty calm and mild-mannered guy. It would take a lot for me to want to physically lash out at someone, and even then I’d probably get whooped. My advice is to make friends with big and scary people that don’t give a fuck about anything.

What is the best curse word? 

Fuckboy, or sonofabitchbastard.


Adrian Toubro (Lower)

Do you have a favourite Canadian band?

Leonard Cohen and his Army.
 
What’s your weirdest experience in Canada?
 
Playing at a Go Go-dancer club in Toronto was very weird but also an enriching experience.
 
What is the best thing to happen at one of your shows?
 
When a somehow a good vibe is created. And there is a game going on between the audience and us. It gives you confidence to mess about and do all sorts of funny stuff.
 
What is the weirdest thing you’ve found at a second-hand store?

Sorry, never found anything weird. Only useful items.
 
What’s the worst job you’ve ever had?

Working for a print company. It was excruciatingly boring and the people there tried to act like they we’re absorbed in the paper business. But it completely fell through because it just isn’t possible to hide how excruciatingly boring the print/paper industry is.
 
What do you hate talking about in interviews most?
 
How our band formed…
 
Have you ever been in a fight? Do you have advice on getting into a fight?
 
I’ve been in some drunken fights but I only took part to help friends or to get an adrenalin rush to keep sleep at bay.
 
What is the best curse word? 
 
Bugger!
