One Day Elliott

Picture from Onedayelliott.co.uk

Info: Pud screams like a girl!
It was pretty difficult to hear what everyone was saying as this was done in a toilet durin a bands set, so I've had to re-arrange some of the words so that they make sense. PLUS, as you should all have guessed by now, it's not easy picking up everyones voice / accent, so I doubt I've got all the naming right either.

Crooks: Richard
Jeremy: The guy from airport
Duck Boy: ask Dave
Me: Me

Short background on One Day Elliott?
Duck
boy: Well, ok. we uesd to be really crap.
Me: ok..
Duck boy: and umm, we got fed up of being crap so we decided to get rid of our guitarist and get two new good guitarists. And then we started writing up different songs and we got better.
Me: good plan
Paul: yeah it is, and ummm, yeah, we've just been like, doing loads of gigs and getting some money together
Jeremy: we're recording soon
Paul: yeah, new cd
Leo: new cd in April
Crooks: April
Jeremy: =sings a long to mpa=
Me: I've never heard this song before
=two girls attempt to enter the toilet=
Pud: come in!
=laughter=
=they leave=
Me: I feel well guilty now
Jeremy: don't worry, they can pee in the bushes

When did One Day Elliott start?
Duck boy:
well originally, it started about 4 years ago
Leo: 1999
Duck boy: something like that
Crooks: yeah, ish
Duck boy: and then ummm, our current line up has been here for about a year and a bit. We've had all of our songs since then aswell.
Crooks: pretty much all.. basically
Duck boy: we tend to just...
Crooks: what one are we upto now?
Me: you're on number four

What are you planning on....
Jeremy:
recording
Me: doing in the near future?
Ducky: yeah, we're basically on like, a tour with Morgan's puff adder, raising some cash for a new album and.. it'll cost quite a lot but ummmm, and we're starting from January through to March and then we're touring in April
Me: this is pretty
Ducky: Pud, by the way, is the one on the tape wearing a really gay (pink) feather bower and he thinks he looks really good in it - but he doesn't
Pud: Pauls just jealous because he is gay... and Canadian
Ducky: I'm not gay!
Pud: look, he's not gay. Pauls not gay. ok? =rewinds the tape (but didn't do a very good job at it)= Paul's not gay. I sa.. He's not gay!
Ducky: tell them I'm not gay again
Pud: he's not gay
Jeremy: Paul is not gay everybody
Pud: not gay
Dan: paul is gay
=laughter=

What's the scene in MAIDSTONE like?
Jeremy
: lovely
Crooks: =laughs= lovely..
Jeremy: nice trees
Me: right..
Duck Boy: well no, it's good. There's a lot of people into that sort of scene. but, but the older people are a bit like,
Crooks: Yeah, the older guys just stand there and are like...
Duck Boy: Although, we are doing a really good gig next Thursday with Morgan's puff adder at the Uni Bar and it's an all ages show so anyone can come. So thats gonna' be pretty good cos other kids are like really enthusiastic but they can't get in when we do our normal shows cos they're too young, so we're doing a show just for them
Me: aaaawww
Jeremy: aaawww indeed
Me: s'very loyal of you
Duck boy: aren't we sweet?

Crooks: Yeah, the answer to your next question happens everytime on stage... Pud gets up.
=laughter=
Leo: what was the next question?

Most embarrassing moment on stage?
Pud:
It's usually when Mafro comes on stage and whips down his jacket and he's got a fucking lepard skin thong on
Ducky: no, it was when we were playing with Capdown and we played really really really badly.
Jamie: no, I don't think that counts. The most embarrassing thing that happened was definately Mafro taking all his clothes off except for his jock strap
Me: wasn't that here...?
Ducky: it's happened a couple of times
Jeremy: he does it regularly
Pud: he does it to us all the time
Me: and the funniest thing?
Jeremy: same again
Ducky: yeah, probably that as well. I dunno, what are the funny things? none of us have actually fallen down or anything have we?
Jeremy: you do that jump sometimes...
Paul: thats not funny - thats cool
=laughter=

Your Fat Red Indian... Krew... Tour...thats a mouthful
Ducky:
oh yes! right, umm
Me: how did that go?
Ducky: a couple of years ago, me and our old guitarist, insted of just trying to do all our gigs on our own we hooked up with a couple other bands and organized the gigs together and just go around on like, another tour thing
Me: and this was with MARTiN and Morgan's puff.. no, that's now.
Ducky: no, yeah. The 1st time it was us, 18th emergency, martin and keg. That went quite well, except for the last gig, actually, that was the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened. On our last gig, Pud set off all the fire extinguishers and then it cost us about 800 quid - so we lost all the money from the whole tour, which was quite funny. umm, but yeah, it went quite well apart from that. so we organized another one this year with us, uhhh, Morgan's puff adder and augustus gloop
Jeremy: and a big big big crate of beer
Crooks: and smutline
Leo: and smutline
Ducky: yeah, smutline were booking all the gigs
Jeremy: Smutline and augustus gloop, I like, they just, I dunno.. they lose their members
Ducky: I feel really bad, we should be supporting Morgan's puff adder right now.
Jeremy: Krew was spelt with a K (I had it written down as Crew)
Me: is it really?!
Jeremy: yeah
Me: I'm so sorry
Crooks: no, they're alright, we've seen them plenty of times
Ducky: it's still out of order man, we should be showing them our support
Crooks: whats the next question?
Me: ah, I'm sorry, d'you wanna go out and.. we're still talking about..
Pud: Paul, you can go.
Ducky: can we stop and then start again later?
Me: sure
Jamie: no, don't worry about it
Crooks: no, best to crack on
Ducky: make sure you play this tape to Morgan's puff adder so they can hear that I'm actually sticking up for them and the others aren't interested
Crooks: I'm interested, but I'm sure they'd understand!
Jeremy: I want to see them, but..
Leo: alright, carry on..
Jeremy: =starts saying something=
Ducky: SHUT UP!
Crooks: Jamie's being noisey again

Name a local band you really really hate.. and slag them off as much as you can.
Leo:
a local band...
Me: one that I'll know
Ducky: ooh, hang on
Leo: we like all bands, we're not allowed to slag anyone off
Crooks: we try and pay friendlyness between all bands
Paul: if someones like, brave enough to write stuff and get out there and perform it... I mean, we know what it feels like to have someone go "oh, you're shit" without even bothering to listen to us. I mean, we don't get on well with some bands and we like, do think some bands arent very good but its fair play and we just hope they get better. And we're not naming names, cos thats not fair.
Me: you're too smart for these questions.. it's not fair!
Pud: =laughs= I'm not, ask me
=laughter=
Crooks: don't ask Pud anything
Pud: whats your name? uhhh... I forgot

Best joke you all know?
Paul:
best joke...
Crooks: ok, i got a good one. well lots of people probably already know this joke. =asks Jeremy= bass player or drummer?
Jeremy: drummer
Crooks: what do drummers.. what does our drummer use for contraception?
=silence=
Crooks: his personality
=laughter=
Jeremy: ha ha ha you wanker
Crooks: ok, whats pink and hangs out your pants?
Jamie: your mom
Crooks: your mom.. you never do that, alright? Never interrupt someone elses joke! And you only did that cos' I told you it before! What do you call a fly with no wings?
Pud: I dunno.. just a bee, or something..
Crooks: =laughs= a walk

Ducky: I haven't really got anything funny to say
