1- Where is the band from and what's the best thing to do there?
We are from Los Angeles and having yummy taco stands on practically every corner is the best thing!
2- What does your name stand for and what was the runner up?
It's a feminist take and tribute to the well known English punk-rock band. The Buzzclits was a consideration amongst others, but the name we settled on was the clear choice.
3- Describe your sound using a movie title.
Lost Highway
4- Describe each band member using a meal.
Hellskiss - Sushi
Watts - Ice Cream Cone
Suze - Casserole
5- Name 3 bands who would headline your dream fest?
Three S bands: Sleater-Kinney, Siouxsie and Sonic Youth.
6- For or not being described as "female fronted"?
I am fine with it as long as it's used in an empowering way, which sometimes it is not. Women musicians had/have to prove themselves and are still a minority/get mistreated in the scene. I think it's great to bring attention to female fronted bands, especially when you are trying to seek out that kind of music. It definitely is a different vibe than male fronted bands.
7- Are you signed on a label and why?
We are on A Diamond Heart Production artist development label. It is run by multi-talented DIY queer woman musician (Vanessa Silberman), who is also our engineer and friend. We like to support people/projects we believe in, be part of a fruitful music community and it also helps our band gain more recognition, of course.
8- What's the most punk thing you've seen on tour/in a show?
Besides witnessing plenty of musicians jumping on & off bars, amps, drum kits and some really cool & bizarre performance art, once I saw someone eating during their set and using their keyboard as a table during a local festival here in LA. I thought that was pretty punk rock! Lol
9- The best album of all time and why?
That is too hard, there are too many! I will choose one that I played over and over again when I was in High School and it was a coming of age album for me that also made me want to start a band. "Live Through This" by Hole.
10- What's the best way to support your band?
Buying our merch via bandcamp (we have some rad new t-shirts for sale - custom designed by amazing artist Lucy Faery + our album + stickers and buttons) , listening to us and liking/following us on social media helps more than you know. It all gets us out there. We appreciate the support!
