1. HI POLLY, HOW ARE U AND THE GUYS DOING AND WHAT HAVE U BEEN UPTO LATELY?
[Polly]
We've been great ta, well apart from Ginna put his back out and was laid up for a few days, but that's Ginna, always a body related incident or another. New tattoo's are abundent in the band, Mr Jef is getting posh looking teeth and Rob is .... well he's Rob really. We've been tying to get some tours together, but nothing solid yet.
2. HOW WELL HAS YOUR DEBUT ALBUM 'CYNICAL SMILE' SOLD UP TO PRESS, AND ARE YOU GOING TO RE-RELEASE IT IN ORDER TO GET IT DISTRIBUTED FURTHER AFIELD AND WITH MORE IMPACT?
[Polly]
Well to be honest I don't know, we are selling quite a few at gigs and I keep meeting people from all over the place who bought copies in various shops so it must getting into some homes. We aren't re-launching it no� we'll continue to promote it but it's time to move on - we did record it a year ago.
3. WHAT PLANS HAVE YOU GOT FOR YOUR NEW SONGS 'LOVED UP,' 'CRUCIFICTION' AND 'AMERICAN JIHAD'? ARE THEY DESTINED FOR SINGLE OR EP RELEASES, OR EVEN THE SECOND ALBUM?
[Polly]
Hmmm, dunno yet, we need to have a long think about the future and see what our plans are, but we do want to record them. Infact if you tune in to BBC Radio Humberside on the 10th of April you may hear a couple, but I never said that and you ain't seen me, roight!
4. WHICH IS YOUR PHLUID SONG AND WHY?
[Polly]
As in which one is most about me or which is my fave? Well Borders and Pure are both super personal to me but my fave at the mo is a new one called Libertine.
5. AND WHY WEREN'T YOU AT THE ANTI-WAR RALLY ON SAT FEB 15TH?!
[Polly]
Well we had to do a gig in this little town in the East Riding of Yorkshire (Driff! - Ed.), but I wish I could have gone. We don't need, or want this war. We don't need to be America's puppet either. If the people of Iraq need liberating then there are better ways of doing it than wading into the country, bombing 1000's of innocent people and then, as will obviously happen, nick all there oil, which is the only resource they will have to rebuild the county.
6. WHAT HAVE PHLUID FANS HOPEFULLY GOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE REST OF 2003?
[Polly]
More sleaze, more top tunes and, hopefully less chance of seeing Scottish's bollocks.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME (AND SONGS!) POLL.
