Wywiad przeprowadzony 9 lutego przed Soundwave Fest. 2009.
POza tym, że dowiadujemy się ze Jared to Jarred i perkusistą jest Willie który mieszka w Lonydnie, godne uwagi jest pytanie o nowy album. | Cytat: | | We’re workin on it…maybe next year, maybe not |
więc wszystko jasne:)
poniżej cały wywiad
| Cytat: | Evil Jarrod Hasselhoff, bass player of the Bloodhound Gang is not all about boobies and sex jokes. It seems that the man happy to be called anything (“Evil, Jarrod, Asshole…Whatever”) possesses a sense of political rage.
“How is it that they can only manage to throw a shoe at Bush when they shot Kennedy?” he opens our conversation with. He is then inspired by a pseudo-conspiracy specific to our very own nation.
“In Australia, you’ve got your judicial system, if you killed Bush you’d be tried by a jury, I bet you could find one juror whose father or son were killed in Iraq…everybody hates Bush.” Obviously the guy is endowed with a social conscience, perhaps it’s time then for the Bloodhound Gang to follow in the footsteps of other contemporary artists and pen some kind of post-election ballad.
“No, no…we’re not smart enough for that…we’re not actually very smart.” says Jarred. And yet, they have been smart enough to dominate the mainstream charts worldwide on and off now for over 15 years.
The Bloodhound Gang are to tour Australia in 2009 for the nationally touring Soundwave Festival. There is also the elusive but imminent release of the Gang’s third album. “We’re workin on it…maybe next year, maybe not.” He says, keeping mum about any running titles or release dates.
When it come to the album-making process, the guys are more inclined to jam via their laptops as opposed to a studio. “We actually don’t like each other very much. We do pretty much everything via email.” He says. “I live in Germany, the lead singer (Jimmy Pop) lives in Pennsylvania and the drummer (Willie) lives in London.”
The guys have, however, been reasoanbly quiet of late, so what have the Gang been up to over the past few years? “Rehab,” he says with a fierce bluntness. “I’ve been on the alcohol, but the other guys have gone harder – they’re on everything – booger sugar, vicodin, I won’t name any names..but…” he says, making an obvious incriminating splutter articulating frontman, Jimmy Pop.
Having dealt with their respective substance issues, the guys are making an all too welcome return to Australia: after all, it has been twelve years… “Last time we were here it was in 1997 for Grungefest and it was all about Crocodile Dundee…” he says, then following a pause. “But now they’ve gone and done like five of them damn movies.”
I suggest that times have changed somewhat over here, especially with the death of our own real life Croc Hunter, Steve Irwin. “I certainly won’t be kissing any manta ray,” he says, but quickly changes his mind after I suggest that there is now a vacancy to fill in the absence of a croc hunter.
“Really?” he thinks it over for a minute. “But, didn’t he like try to feed a baby to a crocodile?”
Moving along, I question Jarred over the line-up for Soundwave which bills, amongst others, Alice in Chains and Nine Inch Nails. “I didn’t think I’d ever see a line-up like that,” he states.
“People who like those guys don’t get into the crap we play. Their stuff is music for adults, ours is all about farts and poop jokes – our fans watch the Teletubbies…” These gimmicky songs have been played to death on radio and film scores alike…so do they have to include The Bad Touch ("you and me baby/ ain't nothin' but mammals"…you know the rest) on every set list?
“I would love never to have to play that song again,” he says with a disgruntled sigh. “But we can’t do shows without that song…it’d be like Bruce Springsteen doing a set without Jessie’s Girl” But even with tracks such as Fire Water Burn, I Wish I Was Queer So I Could Get Chicks and Foxtrot Unicorn Charlie Keno, perhaps we’re all missing a deeper irony in amongst the toilet-humour lyrics. “You mean, are we actually singing about the situation in Africa or the trouble in Ireland?” he says with a deep throated chuckle, before adding: “No, no…noooo. Too stupid for that.”
When contemplating the changes that have occurred in the industry since the Gang started in 1993, Evil Jarrod goes straight for the corporate jugular. “Back when I started, people actually paid for albums.” He says. “Now you can just your music for free! I mean, it’s not like that many people bought our records anyway…just a couple a twelve-year-olds.”
Then this must be the reason that Bloodhound Gang merchandise is continually on the expanse, including offical “BHG” branded undies. This is news to Jarrod. “Really? Underpants? Like official stuff, not bootleg?” It’s as offical as the website, so as we talk he frantically browses around in search of said official underpants. “I could certainly do with a pair,” he says, still astounded by the idea of Bloodhound Gang underpants.
So I guess I won’t be needing to ask whether he’s a boxers or briefs man then?
“Commando all the way!” he says and then comes across said underpants. “Geeezzz…they’re hideous…they look like underpants my grandpa might have worn in prison during the war.” |
