GRIZZLY ADAMS BAND

(February 2003)

1. Is it true nobody in the band has an Internet connection?

No, everyone is online - from time to time tho, but we let our friend Peet do all that as we are lazy and he's got an English girlfriend to translate or correct the stuff...

2. Do you realize it's 2003?

God, yes, because we have to pay "Dosenpfand" now and the whole system of the "Deutsche Bundesbahn" is fucked up! And because there's no big football event this year such as the European or World Championship...

3. Die Toten Hosen or Terrorgrüppe?

As the Terrorgruppe did a great song for "Oi!Warning" it should be them, but old songs from the Duesseldorf guys get us going, so maybe it's a draw... What about Die Ärzte???

4. Why don't you play live that often?

Um... there are different reasons: Jan also plays guitar in DUESENJAEGER (www.duesenjaeger.org) which sometimes causes date problems, then Alex is always traveling the globe for months on end, someone is always busy working or studying. And because someone called Kevin wanted to organise something over in your country a while ago which hasn't happened, until now...

5. You just released two 7”s. It's about time for a full length, what's the hold up?

You won't believe it, but the recording for the first full length is ready! 15 great new songs, be excited! It is only a question of a label to release it - there is someone interested, but you guys still have the chance to catch this one... Hopefully it will be released this spring, woo hoo!

6. Do you have or plan on growning beards, like the American Historic Icon you are named after?

There is a big masterplan in the making, but everything is still very secret, sorry.

7. Why did you choose that lousy name?

Why is everyone always taking the piss out of the name??? Because we love the film "Clerks" where there is a guy called GRIZZLY ADAMS. So we are NOT named after that beardy guy from the mountains...

8. Do you like bratwürst?

Although Chief Peet always books veggie food for our shows, we have to admit that 3/4 of the band like Bratwurst, yes. But substitute grizzlie "DUESENTOBI" is out of the meat business, too I think. So if you add up the whole grizzly family it is another draw... By the way, you forgot to ask about our famous "Sauerkraut"...

9. How many bicycles do your grandparents have?

512, not including the tandems!

10. Don't you think Dennis On The Run would pull of a nice job as a male gigolo?

Why not.
