BOOBA FETT YOUTH

(February 2003)

1. Booba?

Jan: Well for the new Star Wars trilogy there was a campain for a female Boba Fett. They wanted to call her Booba Fett! You get it? I can't really remember but I think they wanted to get Jenifer Lopez for this.

2. The Barbecuties are from the same area in Germany as the Booba Fett Youth. Which band is better?

Jan: What a question! The Barbecuties started as a Booba Fett Youth cover band! They're even worse in playing their instruments than we are, that's why they play our songs way slower. You should definitely get our seven inch record and listen to the original version of the Barbecuties song on the comp.

3. I heard rumours that your band don't exist anymore, 'cause you're not living together anymore?

Jan: Yes we all moved. Now we life all over Germany, but that's no problem. As we never practised before & we don't need to practise now, so we can play some shows when we meet on Christmas or something.

4. Is Booba Fett Youth a kind of organization for fat young people?

Jan: It used to be, but now I'm the only fat guy in the band and Sebastian is the only young one.

5. The Stardumb guys did put your band on the compilation right after the Spanky Darth Vaders. Aren't they funny?

Jan: We think most of you Dutch people are pretty funny. We really like this Alfred J. Quack thing.

6. What's the deal with all these Euro bands and Star Wars? What gives? I like it too but c'mon! Enough is fucking enough!

Jan: What's the deal with all these bands trying to sound like the Ramones always playing the same harmonies? We're a boring 3-chord punk band so why don't have a boring name from a boring movie?

7. From your name I guess you agree Bobba Fett's uniform looks better than the uniform of the German army?

Jan: We're not really into uniforms. Wait, besides Sebastian he's still in the boyscouts. But if you think the uniforms of the German army are ugly you should check out the uniforms of the Austrian army!

8. If the Booba Fett Youth was a political organisation, what would be your 3 main points in your campaign?

Jan: The Booba Fett Youth itself is a state-like construct. We're a punkrock dictatorship and I'm the head of it. So the Booba Fett Youth is all about that. I'm always right and all the others are always wrong.

9. If you were on a deserted island, which bandmember would you eat first?

Jan: As Sebastian and I are brothers we would definitely eat the other Jan first. It's not very healthy to eat your own brother!

10. Jan, you run Yo Yo Records. When is your first hiphop release coming out?

Jan: It's even worse! I'm afraid we'll put out some "emo" records.
