STINKING POLECATS

(February 2003)

1. The Backwood Creatures told us you are the sweetest guys in the world. Did you guys suck their German cocks?

Simone: I can't tell you anything about it because "unfortunately" I had to leave early after that show was over. I don’t know about the others but it's not that impossible. Maybe not blowjobs but some cuddles or not-extreme-petting for sure.

2. Who's the loneliest boy in the band?

Simone: That's a tough question... You don't want to make me emo, do you? More or less we're all lonely in equal measures.

3. Which bandmember smells the worst?

Simone: Absolutely Luca. It's not that he doesn't shower. It's just the grease in his hair, you know that "fish special effect" that makes his hair look dirty? Anyway everyone over here knows that we are pussies and we shower once a day. On tour things are slightly different and everyone gives his own contribute to the general (bad) smell in the van.

4. Why do you have 3 singers?

Simone: Because it's well known that the singer is the one with more possibilities to get laid after a show. Being a 3-singer band give us much more chance to satisfy our sexual life... It's not personal, it's business.

5. Hey Luca, are you still sometimes playing with the Retarded?

Luca: Retarded are cool right now with their new 4 buddies line up, there's no need to have an other bass player. Even if having 2 bass in a band is cool... which band did it? Cop Shoot Cop? I think so but I cannot remember it right now.

6. Chris, doesn’t your girlfriend mind if you use her eyeliner?

Simone: No, really, not at all. She only gets pissed off when I take her pantyhose.

7. Social Distortion or Decendents?

Simone: Social Descendents of course!! :)

8. Luca, when are you coming back to the Stardumb mansion to cook for us?

Luca: I'll come real soon, as soon as you can get decent tomatoes to cook a good pasta for. :) Guys really: support Italian food. On our next record I'll put my secret recipe for a good meal, it will be my contribute to society.

9. Simone, you design a lot of album covers for Wynona Records (and maybe for other labels too?). What is your favorite one you did so far and why?

Simone: For technical reasons I could say the "Poppunk Loves You" compilation. I think it's a good work, good photo editing, good layout, good print etc. But personally I'd pick our "A Song For Your Boyfriend" CD cover. A lot of people didn't like the artwork, progressively they thought it was "too emo" then "too gay" then "too pro". -_- I think it's a good work, very clean, simple and straight but with a personal style in it...

10. You did a split CD with the Fairlanes on Wynona Records in 2001 and a split CD with Travoltas on Wynona in 2002. What’s it gonna be for 2003?

Simone: Well, right now we're locked in our rehearsal room to practice some new songs for a possible new album. Still don't know how it'll sound like or if we'll succeed in getting at least 15 tracks to record in a short time but we all hope we'll work out something... Maybe we'll change our name in "Stinking Polka" or "Stinking Poll Tax", who knows? "...this and those...noone knows..." :)
