Influences, what would you say you are listening to right now?
        *B - I’m listening to a lot of my parents speaking to me, telling me what I should do with my life, but luckily my parents are telling me exactly what i think i should be doing with my life. They always tell me, ‘Bruno, you should do this and you shouldn’t do that’. Instead of like, most of my housemates going “mum…….nah……uh…yeah, mum” I’m there going…. “fully Isobel”, I call them by their first names ‘cos I’m an only child and when you are growing up you don’t hear anyone else calling them mum and dad.
        *S -I’m an only child and I’ve never done that
        *B - so, I’m going,…..”Fully Isobel, yeah, yeah…no, no, honestly I would quite my job for the rock, no I swear to God, mum, I would quite my job for the rock and roll”…but, um..music-wise, I’ve always listened to lots of You Am I, lots of Underground Lovers, lots of Atticus, lots of John Reed Club,……lots of John Reed Club, James…James (from Ape Circle) was in the John Reed Club before they broke up…lots of Neil Young, Archers of Loaf, Pavement, 78…cunt and….Peabody…gotta listen to yourself. Archers of Loaf released their very last album before they broke up last year, but I only just got the money to buy it and it’s one of the greatest albums I have ever heard and apparently, because Jebediah love Archers of Loaf, Archers of Loaf are gonna come out here and support Jebediah, which is such a travesty…it’s true!, Archers of Loaf are gonna come out here on their last ever tour, they broke up but they said they’ll do one last tour in Australia because they have a bit of a fan base and they’re supporting Jebediah
        *James (from Ape Circle) – that is a tragedy
        *B - Did you know…wait, that Neil Young, do you know what he does in his spare time? You know both of his kids have got cerebral palsy and in his spare time he designs and patents equipment to make disabled people’s lives better
        *S - honestly?
        *B - No no, I’m serious, and Neil Young himself is epileptic and despite what many people think about him taking lots of drugs, he doesn’t, cos he’s epileptic. Although, in the last documentary about Neil Young “The Year of the Horse”, apparently there was a bit where he was playing and this huge rock of cocaine falls out of his nose and they had to edit that bit out….anyway, enough about Neil Young, sorry about that.
Any new recordings, or stuff happening?
        Well for a while there, we didn’t have enough money to record and for the last 6 months we’ve had enough money but no drummers. Our original drummer got married and he’s now got a kid and according to him, he couldn’t rock while he had those and that’s fair enough, he left very graciously, I haven’t talked to him since then, he told me that he was leaving the band on my birthday, and then we had the services of a young man who was very good but didn’t kinda work out, so he’s gone and now we’ve got a local guy and hopefully we’ll keep him, but as soon as we settle down we’ll be ready to record and it’ll be out. So hopefully in the next 6 months, we’ll have something out.
        *S - I’m sorry but, I’m lost for words now
        *B - Did I mention Neil Young? he’s epile…..oh no, I’ve talked about that, I’m sorry
What’s a question you usually get asked?
        I will answer the question that most people ask me….no. I’m not gay, but….press pause now….but, I’ll try anything…thrice…just to make sure I don’t like it…that was shit, let me do it again, that was hopeless, gimme another go,….that was really shit, bye bye
Rob Cranny from 78 SAAB arrives
        That was tops mate
        *R – was that nice?
How do you Kill the Cod?
        *B - How will I Kill the what?…the cord?
        *R – Cod
        *B - How will I Kill the Cod? What’s a Cod?
        *R – it’s a fish
        *B - cod fish, of course, being a vegetarian, I wouldn’t, but if I had to Kill a Cod…a fucking Canadian bear, I’d go in there teeth first, grab it, shake my head around a bit, say “Look, there’s a beaver” and chuck it back in there, no, I reckon if I was gonna Kill a Cod, I wouldn’t want a hook, I think I’d definitely want to be there myself and doing it
        *S – like a bus for example (huh?)
        *B - a bus? no, see the chance of finding a cod out in the main road are pretty minuscule….but I will Kill a Cod, I’d jump in a river and bite one, bite one to death….you know I went to a wig party the other day and I wasn’t wearing a wig and I was copping shit, but no one would believe me that I was actually wearing a merkin. A merkin is a pube wig…have you ever heard that?
        *S – I have actually
        *B - It’s mostly for women because they don’t have anything else in the wake, but I was wearing a proper girls merkin, a map of Tassie in fur, and they’d got “where’s is your wig?’ and I’d go “it’s down there, chief”
        *R – What’s it used for?  if you’re bald on the fanny?
        *B - I don’t know why you’d bother wearing a merkin, maybe porn stars who shave their fannies, like when they go to the pub to pick up, they just wear it there cos they don’t want anyone else to know
        *R – could you possibly get another inch on the top? because me and Nico are always having jokes about Map of Tassie, but I went out with this girl who had a map of India, and I thought if you had a map of Tassie and you wanted to elevate yourself to a map of India, you could possible tack on the top inch. Yeah, that’s what it’s used for, for females, who don’t think that their pubes go close enough to the belly
        *B - I was drinking at the pub at lunchtime as you usually do, and Mr Beau Campbell from Front End Loader I’d like to say, came back with some beers and someone said, “You didn’t put your fingers in it did you, Beau?” and he said, “No, but I dipped my anal pubes in it”. I just thought that was awesome, it was so on the ball……so yeah, I was wearing a merkin at this party
        *R – I assume you didn’t
        *B - No, I did, I had a proper merkin and people asked like, “Where’s your wig”, that was the excuse for me to undo my pants and they’d go “oh, your kidding”, it was great.
        *R – Let’s turn the direction of the interview towards the fact that Peabody were here an hour before we were and when we got here there was no beer left in our rider
        *B - Fuck off! I didn’t have one single beer from our rider, that’s why I just skulled ¾ of a bottle of scotch
 What’s your favourite telly show ever ever ever?
        My favourite telly show, it’s gotta be the Simpsons, but everyones favourite telly show is the Simpsons for a reason, either that or Foreign Correspondent, George Negus rocks, if those eyes ever got any droopier, he’d trip over them, George Negus is great
        *R – My favourite show was always Good Guys, Bad Guys, with that guy from E Street in it…Marcus
        *B - Marcus, the wheelchair guy?
        *R – it’s like an Australian version of Minder
        *B - I like the Simpsons because the characters will never grow up, they’re not human beings, it’s just like Happy Days, I love it.
        *S – I’m totally lost for questions, I’m trying to think of other ones…..
        *B - NO SALLY, neither Rob or I will take off our clothes, I can’t believe this! This Interview is over. I’ve always wanted to say, this interview is over.
