Lividity Interview

1. What’s up you sickos? How’s your day going?

Dave – Our Lividity life is a sweet ride these days!! Plenty of great opportunities to keep us smiling and sweet pussy to make us feel great!! Love it!! Maniacs are really crushing with us these days and since 2006 and the release of “Used, Abused And Left For Dead” shit has taken off real well!!!

2. Lividity has been around for a long time give us a bit of history.

Dave – Started it myself in 1993 with drum machine, all instruments, vocals, 4 track recorder, etc… spewing forth my hatred to get my ideas out to the masses!! Finally landed a full band for stage in 1995!! 1996 started the pro recordings with a 4 song demo “Rejoice In Morbidity” and have been building up stronger each year and each release till now!! 15 years later!! Have played great festivals and weekend warrior shows throughout Central and East USA, toured USA / Canada 2006, have been touring Europe since 1999!! Have had a great underground life with this band!! We are lucky, we have been at the right places at the right time… a ton of bands surround that are great but would kill for some of the situations we have found!! Many line up changes, so we have been inconsistent for a long time till we have the band now with my self on guitar/ backing vocals, Von Young (Deaden) on guitar / vocals, Garrett Scanlan (CorpseVomit, Cum Christ, Evil Incarnate) on drums and Chris Campbell on bass!! We are at our strongest point now!! You can preview the lengthy discography on our myspace page of all the releases and bootlegs!! A great collection!!

3. You guys are headed off to Europe. Who are you going with? Have you been there before? Is there a good reaction for you guys over there?

Dave - Europe has the best die hard metal freaks I have ever seen!! True passion for the music, and they follow it from town to town and even the ladies are wearing the camo pants and hats and wind milling their heads and is a great party!! We have been over there a few times now and this will be our 7th trip since June 1999!! We had just played the Party.San Open Air Festival in Germany this past August 2008!! There were 10,000 metal freaks camped out there for 4 days!!! Was the best experience yet!! I think it really helped set up the promotions for the Europe tour in April 2009!! We will have a 7 band roster on this tour with 2 buses carrying the bands and the help… with us, Requiem (Switzerland) as co-headliners, Nordor (Greece), Warpath (Ireland), Abortification (Finland), Beneath The Flesh (USA), and Coffin Syrup (USA)!! A festival on wheels!! Will be a great party!! We will hit places we have never been like Poland as well as familiar places like Germany, Czech Republic, Switzerland, etc.. 17 shows in 17 days!! April 10 – 26, 2009!! Hope everybody cums out to rage with us each night!! I think we are very well respected and supported in the mighty European nation.. it doesn’t get any better than this!!

4. Do you have any Lividity moment from tour that you will always remember? Some sleazy whore or something?

Dave – There are a few moments!!! 1999 – Decin, Czech Republic: We were staying in this small town in between shows and we were the first Americans to visit this restaurant and they had us sign a book they keep in the front of building with rare and / or famous people have signed it… So this day, we are in that book somewhere with drawings, logo and signatures… 1999 – Czech / German border: visiting the home of Hitler’s girlfriend, and we went up in his tower where you can see the country side and where the German “double s” was cut out in the trees for the air troops… 2003 – Europe tour: Everyday was an adventure on the road 4 weeks with Master: One of the most memorable, was when Will (lead singer of Mastic Scum also on the tour) had introduced me to one of his friends at Innsbruck, Austria and the guy let me have a couple hits of some Austrian drug, literally 5 minutes before our set, and it was one of the most demonic, hateful brutal shows of the tour!!! 2004 – Lyss, Switzerland: Doom Productions flew us in for 1 show that weekend May 15!! What a cool ride, Great little village!! 2005 – Germany: We went to play at the Fuck The Commerce Fest in front of close to 4000 people co headlining with Entombed!! Remarkable!!! 2006 – Toronto, Canada: We were on US / Canada tour and we played this club in Toronto on a Wednesday and still had people drive 7 hours 1 way to see the show because it was the only Canada stop!! 2007 – Europe Tour: We went swimming in the Mediterranean Sea while we were in between 2 Italy shows with day off!! Camped out there, partied, swimming.. A fantastic sight!! Also on that tour, we played a festival last day of tour in Geibelstadt, Germany and the crowd rushed on stage and the sound guys flipped off all power and had to get every one off the stage before we could move forward with the show… haha!!! 2008 – Bad Berka, Germany: Party.San Open Air Fest we played for 10,000 metal hungry freaks!! That was the best show ever!!!! That has helped set up our 2009 Europe Tour in April!!!!

5. Any plans for a new CD to come out soon? Maybe live CD for the Europe tour?

Dave – We are writing material right now and then we will record after the April Europe Tour!! We plan for it to be out September 2009! It will be released through War Anthem Records (Germany) in cooperation with Epitomite Productions (USA)!!!

Interview With Super Metal band -Headless Pez

Headless Pez - perhaps Portlands most nasty, insane, alcoholic metal band takes time from whacking off to answer these questions.

1. Hey you sickos hows it going? Who am I speaking too?
This be Tha Robbfather

2. How did Headless Pez start? I know everyone is wondering how you got the name, and when you guys formed and stuff?

Number 1, nobody cares where we got our ridiculous name. Number 2, due to ongoing legal action involving the church we cannot comment on how we formed. Number 3, our history involves a lot of shitty drummers, a lot of shitty guitarists and a lot of shitty dicks. All that matters is that you are now talking to the most amazing cockmetal band that you have ever had the pleasure to interview.

3. You have quite the reputation around Portland. How many clubs have you guys been kicked out of? Which ones allow you guys back?

We've been kicked out of all of them. Fuck Portland! We're moving to California where people like having blood and shit thrown at them! Plus, the bitches shave their bushes, I'm sick of choking on piss-soaked, hippy, northwest crotch! Next question.

4. Do you guys prefer a house/basement show or a gig at a venue?

We prefer any show where the promoter gets us drunk. If you don't give us booze, we're not playing! If you give us too much, we're not playing! It's your job figure out where the line is crossed. We're retarded, we can't figure it out on our own.

5. That video of Brooks pouring hot sauce in his eye socket on your page is funny as hell, how did you guys get him to do that?! well besides booze...Booze?

He was completely sober. He had been working up to that moment for months. He started with mild sauce, worked up to wasabi, until, for the entire week before-hand, he took 12 inches of spicy Mexican dick in his eye for hours everyday. All of that preparation was leading up to that legendary video that all of you enjoy so much.

6. Who does manages all your guys stage props and shit? You guys have quite the array of dead babies, dildos, flaming enemas, etc.

Yes we do.

7. Whats your personal favorite album of all time?

Judas Priest-Painkiller, Any ODB, The Crown-Deathraceking, The Accused-Maddest Stories Ever Told, and any Pink, Not in any particular order. I'm better than you, that's why I have more than one favorite.

8. When will you guys put out a CD next?

We've been together for decades and still haven't put out a full length, so don't hold you fuckin' breath. Instead, just buy our 3 song CD for full length CD price.

9. Is there a favorite show/ venue that you guys have thrashed?

Bakersfield. I wanna give a shout out to EatShit. Those kids know how to fuckin' thrash! If your town wasn't so fuckin' hot and didn't smell like wetback dick, we would move there. Like I said before, FUCK PORTLAND!!! The only reason we're still here is to bring this town crumbling down. Then we'll move on to the next. Our war machine is fully fueled with hippy blood, ready to ram purple-headed dog dicks up all the manclams of anyone that dares stand in our way.

10. last words????

I'm gonna shit in your pants.
