So who is in the band, what is each member’s PC3 special power?

Thad – Bass, Yelling – Often very camp looking highly manipulated mixture of cardboard and fabric, occasionally exposing a tasteful amount of genitalia Nick – Guitar, Screaming – Marginally manipulated and easily degradable cardboard over his normal clothes Kai – Bass, Squawking – Tights, minimally manipulated cardboard box that greatly impedes bass playing Joe – Guitar, Opera – Accurate reproductions using a variety of material Rovin – Drum like a gun, Bleeting – cardboard mask For anyone that hasn’t heard you, how would you describe your sound (using only vowels)? -e a-e –e -ou– o- -o–e(y?)- a– –i–e– -a– (y?)i-

What’s bubbling under the surface with the band at the moment?

Revenge

What’s the best thing that ever happened on tour?

Seeing a tanker full of marmite

What’s the worst?

Getting served up a bowl full of cocks for starters. That was the last thing we wanted Is that why you’ve not got any tours planned at the moment? Never! the reason might be something to do with organisation.

How did the split 7” with Trencher come about?

Someone said “do you want to do a split 7inch with trencher?” to kai. he asked the rest of us and we all said “yes” unanimously. after we all said “yes” it was decided that we should do the split 7 inch with trencher. It will be out on Smoking gun records sometime this year. We wrote some entirely new material that is yet to be played live. It has a theme of being detained.

Why do you think so many bands are rushing to put out 7”s at the moment when the media at large proclaimed the death of vinyl years ago?

They probably think it’s cool or something. Very soon we’ll have 2 7inches out so we much be PRETTY damn cool.

What other creative output are band members responsible for?

We’ve all got our own side projects in the wings. Nick and Kai are in Motorbikes with Charley from Uncle Buck, people say they’re LOUD. Thad is causing trouble with Jess Fagwua and the Midrange Drivers, its a kind of Dirty Lounge act, he’ll probably get his nuts out or something. Robin is drumming for Teasing Lulu, they just played at Glastonbury (say no more). Joe is trying.

Who wears the coolest socks?

Thad wears pink Y-fronts, for real, not even as a joke. Who cares about socks when you’ve got something like that to compete with. Anything you’d like to add? soon we’re going to add a gift section to our website. so if anyone would like to bring gifts to the shows for us we will post them on there. also maybe coming soon is a fan art section.
