Incredibly useful Info: Righty, I think (not 100% sure) I did this on the 8th March, could be wrong. Anyway, Dave's the one answering all the stupid questions so if you don't like what you see here, take it out on him - not me! Also, please don't use any of the below text as quotes (as if anyone actually would..) reason being - I didn't write down exactly what was being said, I just scribbled down particular words which would make a good (bad) sentence... such as: "Decorating room, picked a bit of wall paper off - left the rest." "Guitarist out of police station" "Shades a part cover WACK" (I have no idea) "Millencollin, fall up steps. House party, fall down steps." "No bicarbonate soda pigeon park pop" Yes... well here you go!!
Me: Description of your band please. like, who does what? Dave: ok, well Kate does vocals, I play bass, Murph plays guitar, Matt plays guitar and Dunk's on drums Me: When did Trigboy come together and how longs the line-up been like this for? Dave: Formed 3/4 years ago by Kate, Dunk and I. The current line up has been like this for about 2 years. Me: What are you hoping to achieve from being in Trigboy? Dave: We wanna' get signed man (Note: use of birmish wording!! clever) to someone who can make money out of us, get us loads of gigs, release our music and stuff.. I also want to be famous Me: Don't we all? Dave: yeah, but I really want to be famous Me: so do I. I'll be famous before you will Dave: nah you wont *By the way.. Trigboy have found themselves a darling little label now, so all's good!* Me: which big(ish) bands have you played with so far? Dave: Whitmore, spunge, Tuuli, OPM, King prawn, Farse, Jesse James, Lubby Nugget... Me: Identity # 1!! Dave: yeah.. and midtown Me: The beatsteaks!! Dave: well, no. We haven't played with them. We've been to a few of their shows though. Once we missioned it up to "insert name of town here" (as I've forgotten) to see them play and then drove to their next gig the night after. *Why? - Because they're damn loyal Beatsteak lovers!!* Me: How does it feel knowing you have a darling little fan with a dread fettish over in Tunbridge wells? Dave: Really good! Me: =probably laughed= Me: have you been on any propper big tours yet? Dave: no, no big tours. Me: Whats the scene in Birmingham like? Dave: It's alright. Pretty good live music. We've got Eddys, the Acadamy 2... It's ok, not outstandlingly amazing. But the A+R people wont come to Birmingham! Me: (not knowing who they were..) How come? Dave: Because they've got to pay to get over here and for the night expenses.. too much hassle *Later found out who they were..* Me: so.. whats your favourite song you've recorded? Dave: I really like 'let me in' and 'nah nah song' - cos I wrote most of that, it's my song! Me: It's mine now! Dave: =laughs= it's all mine Me: and how many cds have you released..? Dave: Two.. I think. We did 'last beer on beak street' and... 'time talk and falling over'. But the newest cd is the best Me: Why? Dave: cos' the newer material is just so much better. The ska tunes are more powerful and shows progression of the band.. *Also released another cd called 'to die for...'* Me: Whats the worst cd in your collection? Dave: oo, let me have a look. All my cds have been boxed up, cos' I've been trying to decorate my room Me: oh right, what colour are you painting it? Dave: I haven't decided yet. I've just started peeling a bit of the wall paper off the wall and then left the rest.. Me: =laughs= Dave: I've got LL cool J's album. I've got a garage compilation.. Me: oww no.. Dave: =laughs= *Got another cd that has something to do with earth wind and fire... according to my scribbles* Me: by the way.. who's idea was it to do the Nelly Futado cover? Dave: that was probably Kates idea Me: good on her! Dave: I don't like the nelly futado song.. but if we ever come to Tunbridge Wells we'll play it for you! Me: yay, thank you! Me: whats the most embarrassing thing you've done on stage? Dave: =thinks long and hard..= I wore a pair of silly glasses once Me: oh no! =laughs= Dave: I can't really think of anything embarrassing. oh, when I was at Millencollin last night I fell up the steps Me: how can you fall up steps? Dave: I had been drinking! Me: But shouldn't you have fallen down them? Dave: =laughs= no.. I don't know what it is, I have a thing with stairs. At house parties I always seem to fall down them as well. People would be sitting down having a chat and then they'd hear me falling down the stairs and landing at the bottom of them and be like, "hey dave!". They know when I'm coming! Me: =laughs= bless! Do you do it at home aswell? Dave: nah, I'm fine at home Me: And whats the funniest thing thats ever happened? Dave: ok, in my first ever band, we played metal and back in 94' our singer was head banging along to one of the songs on stage looking like he was the man! And then he got his hair stuck in our guitarists guitar =laughs= so everywhere the guitarist went - the singer had to go. In the end they had to cut his hair out of the guitar. So that was funny. Me: what goes on while you're travelling to your gigs? Dave: nothing much.. We'll drink booze, Murph will <blank> <blank> Me: =gasps= Dave: I don't know really.. we get there, do sound check, be silly backstage and then play Me: In five years, no 1, 2... 8 years time, where do you see yourself? Dave: in 8 years.. well, I will have been married to you for two years *yay* I'd be famous and touring round the world! and... sitting on a beach in california with my lovely wife Cheska Me: with twice as many dread locks! Dave: yeah! *Then started talking about dolphins* Me: have you ever caught a pigeon? Dave: no.. but we used to give them bicarbonate soda.. Me: oi! I know that trick, it's horrible Dave: =laughs= I'm sorry.. but it was really fun watching them pop in the park. I don't do it anymore though Me: do they actually pop? Dave: I think so, they get loads of gass inside them and it can't escape so they just explode Me: thats so cruel. Poor things!
And I believe this was the end! After reading the above, you should have realised that trigboy are by far the (5th) best band in England! Buy all their merch and send them praise - but not to Dave! He is my punk!
