The following is a mini interview of generic questions that we posed to all bands that wanted to answer:
Disco's Out! Murder's In! [myspace (http://www.myspace.com/discosoutmurdersin) ]
1. How did you get your band name?
Disco's out murder's in is the name of a Suicidal Tendencies song. It's not that I like Suicidal Tendencies, I just happened to come across it and thought it sounded good.
2. How did this band get started?
Well, it originally started as my side project because I already was in a band. I just wanted to do something on my own and eventually my other band broke up because of this. So here I am…
3. What bands are you influenced by?
This is a hard one, but here it goes: The Matches, Say Anything, Arctic Monkeys, The Maccabees, Tokyo Police Club, The Blood Brothers, Fugazi, Blink, The Beatles, The Smiths etc. But my songs don't sound nearly as good as any of those bands.
4. If you could tour with any bands, past or present, who would it be and why?
Well any of the bands above (but hey, I'm not as lucky as forever the sickest kids to be able to tour with bands that don't exist anymore *rolling eyes*). Also, Paramore so I can hit on Hayley.
5. If you were a furry, what animal would you be? Why that animal?
A zebra because nobody likes zebra fur coats.
6. Why should people listen to your band?
I'm not really sure they should, but I'm doing my best and people should give it a listen. If they like it, then that's great. If they don't, all I ask is no throwing stuff on stage.
7. If you were chosen to be in Guitar Hero/Rock Band, what song would you want in the game? How hard do you think it would be to five-star on expert?
The song I'm working on now is pretty hard to play so I guess it would be a fun song for Guitar Hero. I suck at GH and RB though so I don't really know…
8. If you won a Grammy, who would you thank?
That would be just like the end of 'It's a Wonderful Life;' so happy it would make me cry and choke on popcorn. I'd probably thank the fans.
9. If you could change something about the music industry, what would it be?
There's a lot of great European bands around that most people never get to hear so I'd definitely wanna see something done to promote those bands.
10. Memorable tour experience?
I haven't toured with this band yet, but once I was staying at a hostel with my first band and we were sharing a room with some circus people from Italy and they cheered us up after a bad show. It was really great cause it was 4 am and they were completely wasted and falling off unicycles and everything.
11. What does AP.net mean to you?
The place I get my news, new music and laughs from.
12. What is your favorite song to play?
Right now it's "This Charming Man."
13. What is your vacation spot of choice?
Wow, really? Ahhh Holland was the coolest place I've ever been to.
14. What music reminds you of your childhood?
The Beatles, Queen, The Kinks… I grew up listening to my dad's records.
15. If you could have any super power, what would it be? Why?
The ability to make guys jizz in their pants just by clapping my hands.
16. Do you feel that your band has "made it"?
No.
17. What is something that most fans don't know about you?
That I bite my nails a lot.
18. What's your favorite holiday?
Make up your own holiday day.
19. What do you like to do in your spare time?
I go to college, read, pretend I know everything on the internet.
20. What kind of hidden talents do you have?
I can bend my fingers in awkward ways.
