| 1. What are you currently up
to? |
Well we've just seen the video to `So Into You' and spat out our
cornflakes. Currently mopping them up.
|
| 2. Who were your
influences? |
Anything with great melody. Probably the Bruce Willis
albums are the main thing.
|
| 3. Brief history of your work today and your style of music?
|
All our work so far has been some of the best music
ever released. We recorded a 4 track ep `We Should Be
Going Crazy' and an album on ChangesOne called `Dirty
Stars' with a cool band called Loose Thread. We play `Power Pop Rock n Roll' or `Cock Rock With a
Hint Of Muff'.
|
| 4. What has been the highpoint and lowpoint of your career to date? |
The highlight was being invited to a celebrity pool
party. The low point was it was Barrymore's.
|
| 5. What has been the live highlight for the band? how
easy/hard is it to get gigs and promotion for the gigs?
|
The best show was when we supported Rachel Stamp in
Portsmouth. We were yet to release the album, but the
reaction was amazing. I think that gig really knocked
us on course and we signed breasts that night.
The biggest support gig we've had was with The
Wildhearts which was great also.
It's a constant slog to get good gigs and promotion
but we are a very `hands on' band and like to stay in
control of what we are doing. We are more than happy
to work very hard and that gets us results.
|
| 6. If you could create a fantasy band what would be the
line up and why?
|
Kim Wilde - Vocals
Susanna Hoffs (Bangles) - vocals / guitar
Barbra Streisand - Bass
The Man Corr - Drums
This would be for a private show in our office. We don't know why the man Corr is there.

Live highlights...we used to play gigs in a shed in the middle of
nowhere where we live.The shows were just full of the weirdest people
you could meet big fat Australians hippies and Irish smack heads - eye
opening. I think the difficulty of getting shows all depends on how
good your band is live - in Cardiff shows are promoted well - spesh the
posters.
|
| 8. What state do you think rock music and live gigs are
in at the moment?
|
As long as Hendrix keeps touring everything will be alright.
|
| 9. What cds do you currntly have availible and where can
they be purchased from? |
We Should Be Going Crazy - 4 Track E.P
Dirty Stars - Split Album (ChangesOne Records)
We've also been featured on a forthcoming Zodiac
Mindwarp tribute album and a couple of ChangesOne EPs.
You can buy the CDs at gigs, or at
www.changesone.co.uk and www.ratdaddy.co.uk
They should have been in the shops but there was a
cock up with distribution, it should be sorted real
soon and then we'll put some new stuff out.
|
| 10. Message to your fans?
|
We'll be following in the footsteps of the beat combo
Rock Bitch by handing out raffle tickets at Rat:Daddy
shows. Whoever wins gets the chance to go backstage
with a member of the band and fornicate.
This is an exclusive offer for the forthcoming tour
and is in no way a ploy to get us laid.
|
