1- A-town used to be known for the vegan straightedge, what happened?
With Earth Crisis being the backbone of Adelaide hardcore, when they broke up dudes got slack. BC, Kev, JJ, Jona and the pyramid of vegan power are still keeping it real though. But now EXC are back together who knows whats gonna happen, if they come to Australia Ill go vegan again for the show! Adelaide did used to have a solid rep for all the vegan and straightedge kids there as opposed to the rest of the country....we held it down hard...we all just pretended we lived in Syracuse although to this day most of us still havent gotten to see EXC!
2- How was it growing up in adelaide going to shows?
Amazing, We had the tightest group of friends putting everything they had into shows and promoting hardcore in Adelaide. The rest of Australia had some shit going on but as far as im concerned we had the first bands like DOC that really set the standard for touring, good recordings and taking a band seriously. We also invented violent dancing in Australia, so if it wasnt for us everyone would probably be doing the waltz to parkway these days!
3- Do you miss touring at all?
Fuck yeah I do, You love it and you hate it but all in all its better than any shit job youll ever do. Start a band and get the fuck out of the grind of the 9-5 bullshit.....then at least you will stay sane!
( edit- Webdog is back on the road and his new nickname may soon well be Roaddog, he is ALWAYS on tour)
4- The last shotpoint show was huge, were you happy with how it all ended?
The last show was the best show we ever played.....1600 kids, everyone dancing and singing along, all our friends there and absolute chaos! I couldnt have asked for a better way to go out.
5- Your doing a new band, whats the deal?
Im doing two, one is a rock band called The Braves with a bunch of dudes with too many tattoos, we dont even really jam, we just get together and talk about working out, protein powder and meathead, thats what happens with Baina and GK in the band. My other band will kick your ass, its coming.....keep an eye out.....xxx
