INTERVIEWS

Interview mit CAKECUTTER

TL2IN: Hello! Please introduce yourselves and tell us something about the history of Cake Cutter.
CAKECUTTER: Well we are: JxPx & John Montgomery, (both drummers) former members of Bottom 12. Gaby Godhead (Guitar) Former member of Haunted Garage. Paul Reyes (Bass) former bassist of George Hurley's band, Magic Maggot. Newt DiFazio (Vocals) Insecto Circus frontman.
We started this band on April Fools days (uh, that´s April 1, 2004) in Berlin. Luckily we knew a few songs and Presto! We had a gig in Berlin at the Dunker club. So we're quite new around here...

TL2IN: What means the music to you? Is it only fun, or are there any special backgrounds, we can´t see on our first look?
CAKECUTTER: Well it means extending our phallic-like guitars in the the massive audience (resembling something like a big vagina) AND having fun! What else would make us drive around in a van for sometimes 10 hours at a time?

It is also a good excuse to wear make-up!

TL2IN: I saw you guys on a show in hannover. At the moment you hit the stage the people begin to laugh about your crasy fashion. But after a few songs the whole room was moving and shaking their asses. Do you want to make the people smile?
CAKECUTTER: Hey, "Crazy Fashion," I like that, I like it a lot! You should see what happens if you come to our house. All the Barbie Dolls on our walls don't seem to move, so it was a pleasure to see the asses shaking in Hannover. We want to make the people scream & smile (and the ass shaking doesn't hurt either, did you get any good pictures?) 

TL2IN: Two weeks before the tour started you had to find a new singer. How came it to this?
CAKECUTTER: Well the God of Rock choose that the singer we had was not the right one, so he sent Newt to us via a lightning bolt, equiped with a laptop and power massager. It was a perfect fit.

TL2IN: What can you say about the last few weeks on tour?
CAKECUTTER: Well, there is other food rather than bread and cheese. Keep looking! However, breakfast this morning with Poison Idea, was California-style deluxe. They are from Cali too, just like us.Paul like the windmills, they make him happy. JP thinks they need to make them bigger and faster!

TL2IN: I read that you wrote a song for the Jackass Movie and for the new TV Show Wild Boys. In which contact do you stand to the Jackass family?
CAKECUTTER: JxPx is the whipping boy. THE MULE! The go getter, and he makes sure that Steve-o changes his underwear. John just hangs around for the free drinks. Gaby is around for cameo appearances in such works such as the Turbo Negro Video, Sell your Body to the Night (shot by Jeff Tremaine & Spike Jones, our lovers). Oh yeah the song is called Nude Country, if they didn't use it, Jeff would still be hanging by his balls, but that another story...other than that, we are one intoxicated loving family!

TL2IN: What can you say about your new mini CD “all day sucker”? Please explain your sound for all the kids who don´t know you.
CAKECUTTER: Well kids, this is the sound crafted by one GEZA-X, you  might know him from his work with the Dead Kennedys, The Germs, Black Flag, The Weirdos, Primus & Meredith Brooks! It's a double drummer fueled party, with slashing guitars and pummeling bass, all fronted by a crazed, psychopathic circus escapee. It's loud, it's fast, and built to shake your ass! Genre Crushing!

TL2IN: Have you heared about “ Rock Against Bush” and Punkvoter.com? What do you think about the leader of the USA?
CAKECUTTER: Do you mean Dick Cheney or Bush Sr. Other than that it's just a puppet show. The question is: Who 's got their hand up the ass of the puppet? Hold on, there's a knock at the door (I think it' the CIA). 

TL2IN: Thanx for the interview and I hope you will never forget to rock! Now you have the chance to tell us something you ever want to say.
CAKECUTTER: They should not call it touring, they should call it waiting. You wait for your tour manager. You wait for your sound-check. You wait for your dinner, you wait for your mirror, you wait to go to bed. You wait to get up. You wait to get in the van, you wait in the van, you wait to get out of the van. You wait for the promoter to bring you beer, you wait for the opening band to drink all of the beer. You wait for a bottle of Jack Daniels, You keep waiting for the bottle of Jack Daniels. And then you wait some more.

Wait a minute...
