SPOONSTER

(February 2003)

1. Do you consider yourself a punkrock band?

Spoonster: Absolutely, definitely with a bit of pop thrown in.

2. Don't you think your logo on the website looks a lot like the logo of the R&B band TLC?

Spoonster: Mmm... Well, firstly we think it's worrying that you guys know what the TLC logo looks like! And secondly, yeah, okay, our website sucks. It's shit and we need a cool logo. Any suggestions would be welcomed. New website on our list of stuff to do in 2003, after we have conquered Europe, that is.

3. Do you like Blair?

Spoonster: Tino says 'He is not my fuckin president'. Pam says he needs a haircut and Nick wondered who we were talking about.

4. There's another Scottish band on the compilation called the Ritalins. Why are you better than them?

Spoonster: Welcome to the Scottish punk ethos: nobody is better; we love The Ritalins and think we are as good as one another for keeping the whole punk thing going. But their website is way better than ours.

5. Buddy Holly or Elvis Presley?

Spoonster: Buddy Holly.

6. Pam, you are a teacher. What do you teach?

Spoonster: Children.

7. Are the kids in your class violent?

Spoonster: Only when I try to teach them English.

8. What's the best Scottish band ever?

Spoonster: Spoonster of course. But The Skids and The Rezillos were okay too. Oh, and The Proclaimers rock.

9. We heard Kevin Aper tried to make you change your name into The Spoonsters. Don't you think his mouth is too big for such a little guy?

Spoonster: As long as he keeps telling people how he likes Spoonster (or whatever he calls us!) his mouth can be as big as possible. And the next time he's over in Scotland we will fill it full of beer. Cheers Kev!

10. Don't you think England always tries to take all the credits?

Spoonster: Yes... But we kind of like that when they fuck things up.
