The music industry is wack! For your knowledge....every band
you see on the second stage of Ozzfest paid $75,000 to Sharon to get there!
That's doesn't mean they are good, that means they have
money!
–Biohazard’s Evan Seinfeld quoted from hitthepit.com

She's low on dust.......
 We recently caught up with
Tiny Elvis bassist Liam, discussing everything from chaos in Germany to the
"fine" exploits of Good Charlotte.
Labyrinth-Recording for your debut album is underway,
how has it been going so far?
Liam-It's been going great, we still have a week or two
left but everything is sounding better than ever, Steve Evans whose producing
the album is the man and knows exactly what we are after sound wise.
Labyrinth-What can we expect
from the album?
Liam-It's raw and
fucking heavy!! There are a load of new songs on there which are gonna blow you
away along with our anthems like Low on Dust and Altamont. Expect a dark, high
energy piece of punk rock sonic terrorism!!
Labyrinth-Do you have any idea of release dates or plans
for a coinciding tour?
Liam-We're
looking at the first week of June at the moment and we'll be touring like mad
in the UK and Europe to promote it.
Labyrinth-You recently played a couple of gigs in
Germany. How do you feel they went?
Liam-Absolutely amazing one of the best gigs we've ever
played the atmosphere was amazing and the turn out was mad, especially since we
were unheard of, the crowd rushed the backstage area and dragged us on for an
encore after we finished!!
Labyrinth-How exactly did the band form. Where did the
name, Tiny Elvis come from?!
Liam-Rob, Ben and Myself started the band initially, we
bumped into Jon drunk at a Trailer Park Trash gig and went from there, Adam our
new second guitarist joined us in January as we felt we needed a fuller heavier
stage presents. The name...erm not sure there's a ton of chat going around as
to where it came from and what it means, we leave that one to everyones
interpretation.
Labyrinth-It is
understood that you made sacrifices at the expense of furthering the band.
Liam-We all quit our jobs, went
pro-broke and put our all in, I'm not sure dropping out of everyday life to be
in a band is a sacrifice, dropping out of a band for everyday life would be
though. Quit your job!!
Labyrinth-What does the music mean to you?Why do you do
it?
Liam-I love playing music we all
do, it's a vent of energy and creativity and it feels right that this is what
I'm doing. We do it cause we love it and we're fucking good at it!!
Labyrinth-You are reknowned for
relentless touring, but have their been any standout/favourite gigs to date?
Liam-We enjoy all the gigs we do but
yes some stand out over others, like I said above Germany would be up there in
my favourites it's always good to play at home in Bath too cause all our
friends are out and the gigs kick ass.
Labyrinth-Are their any bands you'd love to share the
stage with one day?
Liam-I hear
Poison Idea are on the road again, this band rock everyone should check these
guys out!! They are a big TE influence I think we're planning to just turn upto
one of there gigs somewhere and demand to play!!
Labyrinth-Whats your stance on bands such as New Found
Glory, Good Charlotte, carrying punk labels, breaking through into the
mainstream?Do you dig their stuff?
Liam-There's a place for all music somewhere. I'm not an
authority on what is and isn't punk, whose sold out or not etc etc and to be
honest I don't really care. I don't dig these bands at all, hopefully kids will
listen to this and then work their way back to where it came from like The
Descendents and Ramones etc. These bands haven't broken into the mainstream
cause they have never been anything but plus there music is weak.
Labyrinth-What are your views regarding the
"war on terrorism"?
Liam-My views
are my own next question.
Labyrinth-Do you have plans for world domination?
Liam-Absolutely and unconditionally.
Labyrinth-Finally, sum up to the
unlucky folk that have yet to witness the Tiny Elvis experience.
Liam-Get to a gig now, our music will make you a better
person. |
