NEW SCANNER & SPAM!

2010-09-05T12:07:00.001-07:00

Well, I finally bought a new scanner. Expect new scans to appear very shortly. I let this site lay dormant for quite some time due to not having a scanner. The main problem was that my last computer went belly up and I had to buy a new one. Unfortunately, after hooking up my scanner to my new computer I realized it wasn't compatible with the Windows 7 software installed in my new computer. Also, other personal problems in my life arising that kept me from working on this blog. But I think it's time that changes and I start updating this blog on a regular basis with more scans and other features. Sound good!

INTERVIEW: 3FF

2007-04-06T12:48:00.000-07:00

On August 5, 2002, I interviewed Cory Brat over the internet about his band 3FF that he plays guitar for. 3FF is a local 4-piece punk band hailing from sweltering Sacramento, California. Their sound is more of a pop-infected punk sound with minimal "old school" hardcore inflections. They've built up a small following in the greater Sacramento area since their beginnings and were definately be a force to be reckoned.

This interview was posted on my old LOSER! website. Interview by loser!

Editor's Note: Gregg, singer for 3FF, sent me his answers to the questions for this interview.

Give me a brief history of 3FF:
Cory: I think 3FF formed about 3 years ago? As Gregg, Rocky, Alex and Dustin. Then Alex and Dustin left the band and I joined and we looked for a drummer and found Scot. Scot and Rocky left maybe 5 months or so later. Then we got Kiel on drums and Armondo on bass, Kiel left soon after to join Under Fire and Armondo stopped comming to practice so we found Andy (ex-Section 8 & Under Fire drummer) and Matt through an ad in the News & Review. That brings us up to the current line up and we have been playing shows at different bars and such that whole time. We also put out a CD with the Gregg, me, Rocky and Scot line-up called "Blood, Sweat, Beers and Tears" and we are now going to be recording a new CD.

Gregg: Getting to where we are now has been a long tough struggle. I wasn't sure we were going to make it this far for awhile but now that we have I am glad we / I stuck it out.

Would you say that the current lineup is the best one so far?
Cory: Yeah except for our drummer...kidding! But, yes it is, totally way better then we have ever been.

Gregg: Hahaha? Yeah without a doubt this is our best lineup. Everybody is actually into the band and taking active parts? for the longest time I felt like I was the only one who gave a shit. It feels nice to have support. NOW if CORY would stop being so lazy and doing what his jobs I would be on cloud nine!!!!

That's good.

Who exactly plays what in the band?
Cory: Gregg sings, I play guitar, Matt plays bass and Andy plays drums.

Gregg: Cory sings too now? well kinda.

Tell me how you exactly came to being in 3FF?
Cory: Gregg emailed me and asked...that was it. My first band and i'm still here.

Wait a minute, weren't you in the Bondage Brats?
Cory: Yes, why I was. But this is a 3FF interview (laughs).

Gregg: (sings) 10,000 hot dogs a day!!! (laughs)

What other bands were the other members in?
Cory: Yeah. Well, Gregg was also in Crawlspace, Andy was in Section 8, Matt was in a few bands from NY (the names escape me).

Gregg: Don't forget the Bondage Brats, Cory!

Do you enjoy playing in the band?
Cory: Yeah a lot. Especially, when we can actually play.

Gregg: Now if he would just make the flyers that I asked him too 6 months ago. So we can promote when we actually play!!

When it all comes down to it...what does 3FF mean to you personally?
Cory: Hmm. Well, like I said its my first band. So i would love to see us succeed at rocking people to death, which we have come close to at Daddy O's. It is a type of music that even my mom likes. So that actually means alot to me too.

Gregg: It's my baby? I get to let my emotions out so its kind of like therapy in a way. Its also the first band that I put together on my own initially rather than collaborating or joining a project that was already formed. I am proud of how far we have come. I hope we can stick it out for years to come.

By the way, what's does 3FF mean anyways. I mean if the term "3FF" (3 Finger Fiasco) was in a copy of Webster's Dictionary. What would the definition read?
Cory: (laughs) Well...this guy who shall remain nameless got drunk at some party and used to 3 fingers to do something naughty on a fat girl and, Gregg thought it was a fiasco. So, there you go. (laughs)

Gregg: Hahaha, such a great story thanks Shawn? Ooops!

Adj: a 3-digit interlude turned very nasty.

Nice story? Any others you'd like to share?
Cory: No! Welll...no!

Gregg: There was a story about a friend of mine that got felt up in a van? Ahh another time perhaps.

Alright...shucks.

Cory: Andy likes to fight...and I like to eat...that is all.

Gregg: Matt is a homebody and I like young girls. There I said it!!

(editor's note: Is there something wrong with liking young girls?!?)

How would you describe your sound? What other bands would you guys compare yourselves to?
Cory: Umm I guess, melodic pop punk but we also have a lot of sorta hardcore sounding songs....and a lot of covers. We basically play really fast most of the time but with melody. I'd say we sound most like no one...or every other pop punk band...kidding.

Gregg: I don't think we fit in the pop punk style of today at all? We don't sound like any of those bands. However, we do incorporate a lot of melody and dynamics in our sound. If singing with melody makes you pop punk than in that regard yeah we are. Other than that I think we have our own sound. If I had to say bands we sounded most like I would say The Queers, Dwarves, Less than Jake (minus the ska part).

Are you saying that would be a bad thing to be like every other pop punk band?
Cory: Yeah...I guess we may sound like other bands, but since I hear the songs so much they are different to me.

Gregg: I would much rather not be in a band that people said "oh they sound just like." I'm not saying we are ground breaking?but I think we have our own lil niche.

Yeah I see what you mean.

Do you think that the current "pop punk" trend is a good or bad thing?
Cory: I think its cool that some type of punk gets to be heard by more people. But some bands just shouldn't be called punk.

Gregg: I personally enjoy a lot of it? I like songs that are well written? I never really give a shit if people think its not cool to like something.

Yeah, there's a lot of bands that I don't consider to be punk bands at all. But then again I'm one picky bastard when it comes to music...hehe (laughs)

Cory: Yes YOU ARE! (laughs)

Speaking of music, what are your songs about? What are the basic themes of certain songs?
Cory: Ok...(laughs)....girls, suicide, hitting "rock bottom"...umm man I think thats it. I mean they all have different meanings. But I mean they might just be about the same thing. But in a different way if that makes sense.

Gregg: They are about life experiences, we have a our serious moments? Like on "Parting Words" which was written about a rough time in my life when I just didn't feel like I should be here anymore. We also have our not so serious moments like "She Said Size Doesn't Matter...That Bitch." Which is about? Well its pretty self-explanatory.

So there's no basic underlining message or theme in 3FF's lyrics?
Cory: Yeah what I said (laughs). Alright, girls mostly and love, then the exact opposite.

Gregg: That made no sense at all? It's about life.

Your basic love-hate pop punk band themes (hehe).
Cory: I guess you could say that.

Gregg: Your mom.

You mentioned you guys play a lot of covers? What songs do you cover?
Cory: As of right now, "Tainted Love," "Dope Man," "Ball and Chain" and we used to cover "What's So Funny?," "Suger High," "Gum" (The Secretions) and i'm sure that i'm forgetting some. Oh yeah, we also do "He Stopped Loving Her Today".

Gregg: For me, personally it's just fun to take a cover that I like and make it our own.

"He Stopped Loving Her Today?"
Cory: Yes, a George Jones song.

Oh ok, that's right. Couldn't place it for a second. That's kind of strange song to cover. Any particular reason for it?
Cory: Gregg likes it? (laughs) I dunno. It's a good song though.

Gregg: Ok, call me sappy, but I think it's the purest love song ever written? She didn't have anything to do with the guy and he loved her still till the day he died? Now that's love!!

"Dope Man" is another odd choice.
Cory: Yup, but fun to play.

Gregg: NWA, cant fuck with NWA.

(laughs) That's good.
Cory: Yeah.

Yeah, you mentioned the Secretions earlier. How do you like the Sacramento punk scene as it is today? Any particular bands you like?
Cory: Yeah, it's a decent scene. But it used to be a lot better. I personally like Red Tape, Final Summation, Data, Whiskey Rebels, etc.... but when Mynock was around it was the best.

Gregg: Lots of bands are falling by the wayside for sure. And I wish it didn't feel like it was so clique-ish. I choose not to mention the bands I like for fear they will get a swelled head.

How did the scene seem better? I know what my answer on it would be. But what's your personal view or perspective?
Cory: Well for one thing, the Guild was still around. That's like 50% of the reason.

Gregg: Even when Bo Jangles went under it affected the scene a great deal. Its very rough for a band to make a name for themselves these days. Get their foot in doors and stuff.

Yeah, the Guild was a great place indeed and sorely missed.

Cory: Also, just I dunno. Seemed like bands didn't care about getting payed and shit. Not like that is a bad thing. But that has all changed just within the last 3 years or so. A lot. I wish that 3FF could have been around at that time to play there. But oh well.

Yeah, it seems more bands are into getting something out of it other than the fun in just playing...kind of a rockstar syndrome or something.

Do you guys play out a lot though?
Cory: Yes, maybe 3 or 4 times a month. That's a lot to me.

Gregg: Not near as much as I would like to. I want us to branch out a lot more.

Do you guys prefer all-ages shows or 21+?
Cory: I prefer all-ages shows but I can't speak for everyone in the band. But i'm sure they would agree that all-ages shows are great.

Gregg: Our music is more all-ages oriented. But I like to play anywhere. So if it's a bar, then we rock it, just the same. We get a good response from both types of venues. Which is nice.

That's good.

Why i'm asking is that I know you guys Daddy O's (local bar) a lot? What's up with that?
Cory: Well, Gregg's the booker there. Hence, we get put on a lot of shows. But we have been trying to cut back.

Gregg: It's just nice to have place you can turn to when the show offers don't come in . But yeah we try not to overplay it anymore.

Yeah, that could be a problem after the while. But that's cool nonetheless.
Cory: Yup.

I've heard that you once had a solo project or something going on? Want to tell me about that?
Cory: Nope...(laughs)...yeah.. Cory Brat solo. Songs about death, blood and destruction. Rahhhhhhhh!.....acoustic.

What was it like?
Cory: Hmm, it was fun for a second.

Any plans to pick that up again?
Cory: Hmmmmm...no!

What would ya say is 3FF's "Five Year Plan"? What would you personally like to see come of 3FF?
Cory: Maybe get signed to a small label, be able to tour different states, possibly Canada and Mexico, record another CD and I don't know what else.

Gregg: Fuck that, I want to be rich. But honestly, either way is just fine as long as were playing and not killing each other.

Is touring something you would like to do?
Cory: Yes, very much so!!!

Gregg: I don't think I could ever tour enough!

Touring is fun.
Cory: Yup I bet, but I wouldn't know.

Gregg: I love playing shows in a different place every night.

What does 3FF have as far as merch goes? Recordings?
Cory: Hmm, right now we have stickers and buttons. That's about it. CD soon.

What were your old releases?
Cory: We recorded a CD at Enharmonik with Chema and it was 12 songs I think. But we need a new recording. It was called "Blood, Sweat, Beers and Tears."

Gregg: We grew to hate it, and it doesn't really represent where we are now member-wise or quality-wise either.

Are you going to record at Enharmonik again?
Cory: Hmm, we are going with "The Exiting Scott's Bedroom On Computer" for the demo and then we may either do Enharmonik or the Pus Cavern.

Current plans?
Cory: Like I said, play out of town shows, tour, release a new cd, get shirts.

Gregg: Force Sacramento to notice us and realize how much we kick ass--in other words--continue to grow.

How can the public at large reach you?
Cory: They can reach us at www.3ffrocks.cjb.net. All the info is there. Including MP3s of our last CD if they wish to here us.

Well, thanks for doing this interview with me. I appreciate it. Thanks.
Cory: No prob, Bob.

Gregg: The pleasure was all yours.

Grr!!! (laughs)

Gregg: One last thing, I would like to thank all the people, friends and bands that have supported us over these past two years? And to you Ken for always being there. And to all the "Rock Stars" FUCK OFF!!

Aww! (chuckles)

To whom it may concern:

In front of the the stage is a free frame of reference. It's physical, fun, it's for everyone who wants to take a risk.

It is not for the strong to smash the weak, the big to muscle the little, or men to mash women. It is not a combat zone for any one person or group of people to control.

Everyone, should be able to participate. Together we can create and expand the bounds of freedon.

For the best: D.O.A.

Mynock pics taken at the Roadhouse in Rio Linda, CA for a LOSER! benefit show on March 8, 2000. The other bands that played that night were The Peeping Toms, Society's Disease, The Bondage Brats, Crawlspace and The Numbs.c.ullz. The show was a benefit to raise funds for the first compilation that was to come out on my new LOSER! Enterprises label at the time. Unfortunately, the compilation was never completed due to health problems that forced me to abandon the project. It was a fun show show though. Oh well, I think I only raised about $50 towards the comp. after giving the Numbs.c.ullz some money for gas money. I think I eventually used the funds to release the Crawlspace discography tape I did for their reunion show.

INTERVIEW: Sins Of The Flesh - "Nuclear Bull Christ" Zine

2007-02-20T06:44:00.000-08:00

The following is an interview taken from the 8th issue of NUCLEAR BULL CHRIST zine that came out in early 1988.

Sins Of The Flesh were interviewed after another exciting show at The Place in Davis, CA. Sins Of The Flesh are Kevin, Rich and Ken and were interviewed by Slack.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT OUR PRESENT GOVERNMENT?
Kevin: Ha, Ha, Ha. I don't like government but I know it's a necessity because there are people who would abuse what they thought was freedom. Goverment is oppression!

DO YOU THINK ANARCHY COULD WORK, I MEAN TRUE ANARCHY?
Kevin: You got to look at it on a personal level. Each person has to live their life to the best of their ability. I'm not naive enough to believe there could a system or non-system, as long as there are humans on Earth there is going to be fighting. The minute you put yourself one notch above someone else then there's an absence of anarchy. Personally, I try to take my ego out of every aspect of my life and be true to myself. Be true to yourself.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WE CAN DO TO LIVE BETTER TOGETHER?
Kevin: Love one another. Look and see where we are all the same because if you really think about it the things you hate about other people is a direct reflection of the things you hate about yourself. I think its important to work on yourself. You feel you need to do something, you need to go protest against the government, the best thing you can do is work on yourself. Became a perfect example.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS FOR THE FUTURE?
Rich: We've got a record coming out but were stuck in the channel of putting it out. In other words to put out a record really takes a lot of work and a lot of dedication from people that are into your music. Tom Street is producing it. First there is the recording, the art work and all the preparation to put it out.

Kevin: Big thanks to Tom for funding the whole thing and it will be out in it's own time.

WHAT ARE YOUR PERSONAL OPINIONS ON APARTHEID AND U.S. INTERVENTION IN CENTRAL AMERICA?
Kevin: Myself being white, Anglo-saxon, middle class background third generation dude, I feel a lot of guilt. When I see people that don't have...I have almost everything I want, it makes me feel guilty. When I see a white minority ruling over a mass of people in South Africa who don't have a say in government it really makes me said. But things will take their course.

DO YOU THINK THIS CHANGE WILL BE FOR THE BETTER?
Rich: One way or another it's going to change.

Kevin: In history, every big empire has killed itself off. Those people who refuse to live by the empire's rules are going to survive because they were true to themselves.

Ken: In this case, if things don't change for the better, destruction could be the only course.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE PART OF THIS COUNTRY?
Rich: I feel like part of the world because as long as there are borders there will be conflict.

YES, BUT DO YOU FEEL LIKE THE GOVERNMENT IS YOUR GOVERNMENT, YOUR COUNTRY, AND IF SOMEONE SAID IT WASN'T YOU WOULD STAND UP AND PROTECT IT?
Ken: I can't be a part of a government that carries out the action that this one does. You talk about superb Israel and Palistine, you talk about Nicaragua. What the people did to the people of Hiroshima and Nagisaki, slavery... I can't put myself with that. It's hard to think I live on someone else's land, but it's true, it belongs to the indians.

Kevin: This is my homeland. I feel an attraction to it but I don't think our government is the true America our forefathers set out create. There is so much shit you can get caught up in. You got to live your life and ignore the laws that conflict with your beliefs. Don't ever ssay this is the law, and even if you don't agree, obey it, cause you will die inside.

WHAT IS THE BASIC MESSAGE AS A BAND?
Kevin: Love yourself!

Rich: There is room for everybody in this world and it's like there is plenty of food for all and people shouldn't be deprived of things that should be part of life.

Kevin: You see poor people on the streets and it just makes you want to lash out against the government.

Rich: Yah, poor people when the supermarkets are stocked with food.

Kevin: Stop creating violence, stop creating hatred and just give what you do have.

HAVE PEOPLE EVER CALLED YOU HIPPIES?
Ken: Yeah, I think a lot of people try to make an analogy between people who are trying to do something and the 60's. But when you look back in history there have always been people trying to do something about society. The 60's is just when everything got in the forefront and its what people remember.

Kevin: There is this old drunk that comes into the bike shop where I work and he says, "Look at Jesus Christ, he was the nicest motherfucker on earth and look what they did to him, they killed him." That about says it. You can't change peoples attitudes, you got to change yourself and they will follow.

WHAT OTHER THINGS ARE YOU DOING BESIDES THE BAND?
Rich: I'm trying to follow the norms and go to school. You can make a difference by educatiing yourself. If you just bum around the streets and never express your feelings you're not going to get anywhere.

Ken: I'm trying to keep myself at a educational level where I can be effective toward the movement. I also belong to a revolutionary organization call All-African Peoples Revolutionary Party and we are trying to promote general education to get the word around. I think we all try and promote peace in our own way.

Rich: We don't agree on everything but were open-minded to learn. I learn things everyday.

Ken: Me and Rich stay out for hours arguing over things and it just makes us want to know the facts. We will go rad and look up things to prove the other guy is wrong. Its part of self-education.

SO BASICALLY YOU FEEL WE ALL NEED TO EDUCATE OURSELVES?
Kevin: Never assume you know the truth because things are going to buckle in your face.

Ken: If something happens today and there is a change and people are not educated the change will not be real. The government can also rake everyone into a hold but if the people are educated and they see a dictator coming they can say no man.

YOU SAW THOSE GUYS AT THE SHOW STARTING A LOT OF VIOLENCE, WHAT DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?
Kevin: A lot of people were getting really worked up about that, and fighting back. That's exactly what they wanted. You can either do that or bow down and say i'm not going to fight you, you silly. It takes the wind out of their sails.

Rich: Communication and education are the answer.

Kevin: Fear perpetuates violence. You got to sit down and decide what you fear and erase it. So after what it is you are afraid of and turn your fear into love for brother man.

ANY LAST COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS?
Ken: My conclusion is that in the last couple of years has caused me to grow a lot because I've been around people who operate on the same level....we're trying to move in the same direction and make society better.

Rich: I'm in the band because I love music and because of what we sing about. I'm tired of those top 40 bands singing about lust and sex. We're trying to express our opinions in music and put backbone into it. More people want to listen to music than learn so if you have the right combination you will accomplish both. Teach through music.

Kevin: Well, I don't have as many frustrations since I joined the band. But I would like to see people get out of there cars and get a job they feel good about. And maybe ride your bike to work, slow down and take a look at the people around you. The main problem is the morning rush hour traffic. Also, contact us at (ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER DELETED) and talk about anything. We play anywhere.
