FUNGALPUNK INTERVIEWS

Jason

A Punky Chum

 

1. Jason my good man - tell us about your punk life so far - where it all began and what keeps you motivated to keep going and seeing the bands you do?

I am 41 now and have been a punk since I was 11. The first band I saw was Sham 69 and from tthen I went mad with gigs for years all over the place. My motivation now is my son Jordan who is punk as fuck and people like your goodself who have a big heart plus all the new bands coming through.

2. Best gig you have ever been to and the worst - go on lad let em' have it?

The best gig is too hard for me to say as I have been to lots of them over the years such as the likes of OZZY in Manchester, GREEN DAY a few times, THE DAMNED in their early days, THE EXPLOITED at the Mayflower, the Angelic Upstarts at the Mayflower and Stockport of recent years, DRONGOS FOR EUROPE (every time I see them), Wasted gigs in Amsterdam, WILD YOUTH who are shit hot too.

The worst gigs - mmmm - two come to mind - DEAD KENNEDYS last time in Manchester - utter shit and I hope they never come again. The over gig is mighty COCKSPARRER in Blackpool utter shit again as they came across as t OVER PAID OLD MEN taking the piss - MIGHTY MY ARSE!

3. Local fat bastard Noz Mckebab has recently been up in court aftyr being found in a compromising position with a box of pencils, two Bourbons and a teabag. I know that you are quite friendly with Noz so could you please tell us all the graphic details of what went on. Also would you sleep with a PG Tips monkey?

Yes mate it was a sick sight to see FAT NOZ getting cheap thrills in that way utterly sickening. I have never got over it. I am just glad Jordan never saw it, and YES I would sleep with the monkey but only for 12 bottles of Magners, 40 fags, a copy of the dvd and a taxi home.

4. Heroes and zeroes in life and music please?

HEROES - my dad who died 5 weeks after Jordan was born never got over it and never will! J ordan, Ozzy, the Drongos, your goodself for having the balls to put small bands on, my Sam, Chelsea my little girl, Alison, Janine, my aunty and uncle for being there for me in my dark days.

ZEROES - are easy with me NAZI SCUM BAGS, anyone who touches kids and freeloaders that will not pay to get in gigs, buy cds, tshirts etc. TOSSERS they are mate TOSSERS!

5. I know you dabble now and again at putting gigs on - what would be the most ideal gig you could put on? Where would it be, who would be on it, who would be on the guest list and who would be barred?

It would be a two dayer at LIVERPOOL FC.

1st day would be for all the people that have died following the great club,and the 2nd day would be an ANTI NAZI GIG. Guest list would be all my mates, family and the ones BARRED would be all NAZI and FREE LOADERS.

6. The politics of punk - what are your views on this sometimes dividing subject?

POLITICS is shit mate, utter shit. No one will tell me what to eat, say, do, etc. so I do not like politics in punk keep your politics to yourself or FUCK OFF.

7. Rumour is going around that you are thieving from McVities in order to satisfy your friends addiction to Jaffa Cakes? Also someone said you were found naked in a mixing machine playing Neil Sedaka records and drinking Mongolian Chanmpagne? Explain your behaviour and is the deviant you are supplying the aforementioned biscuits for called Daz by any chance?


Yes all true mate but it was twice I got caught - once in the mixing room and then in packing. I was naked with a 25 stone woman who was slapping my arse singing ABBA songs. It was a bit sick but she had a good time,and yes the JAFFS are for fat Daz cause the fat twat will not buy any.

8. The tightest bastards on the punk scene - name the top five and give an anecdote that backs up these accusations of which I take no responsibility?

tightest bastards in punk are

BIG ANDY - from the Bullet Kings - that is one tight twat

HILLY - if you know him you know he is as tight as they come

TEZ - from Woodley - pisshead and professional tight bastard

DENNIS - From DILE what a tight tosser that man is

BIG DAZ never got my BIRTHDAY PRESENT YET and he always fucks off at the end off the nite when it is his round

BUT - there are some kind people in punk YOUR GOODSELF (even though you never get the beer in), JIM SLAUGTHER, ANT from One Man Stand to name a few.

9. Your negative and positive points about the punk scene?

NEGATIVE points in punk are NAZIS, FREELOADERS, places not letting kids.

POSITVE points for me are MY LITTLE MAN JORDAN, THE DRONGOS, Banjo for letting Jordan in, people like you (ALL HEART), and the great people you meet all over the place

10. Nearly every gig I see you at you good son Jordan is in tow? A proper little chap this lad and a right bag of knowledge when it comes to punk? Tell us about he came to be involved in the scene and what are his fave bands (in fact if he wants he can answer this one himself or do an interview for himself)?

JORDAN knows his shit mate (big time). He got me into the Drongos and if he likes you he will say it but if your shit your shit and thats that with him. He has just had a great weekend at your gig in Stockport (SAS 3 Dayer) and it cost me a bomb on CDs, t-shirts etc. but who cares - he loved it. His fave bands are THE DRONGOS, ADICTS, ONE MAN STAND, DREX, ANWL, EXPLOITED, COCKNEY REJECTS, ANGELIC UPSTARTS, CRASHED OUT and WEDNESDAY 13.

11. Last time I was at the Thatched House in Stockport someone told me Banjo had let you use the backroom as a doctors surgery and you were doing on the spot medicals and examinations for £50 a chuck. Local deviant Jim Slaughter said the rectal scrape you gave him really did the trick and was booked in for a 6 week buttock building course? Is this a new venture so as to fund your gigging and drinking antics or are you living out your sexual fantasies at the expense of moronic noodles who love visiting the doctors?

YES, YES, YES it was fucking sick but I do not give a fuck mate because I just look out of my window and see my new JAG. In fact I might take it up full time - that's it - COME AND SEE DOCTOR JASE AND NURSE GILL YOU WILL GET THE 1ST ONE FREE.

12. Lastly my good man - motivate us all with one message regarding punk and life in general?

MOTIVATE you all? All I can say is get off your arse and come to gigs! Put your hand in your pocket, have a laugh, talk to people, be nice to people. There are lots of great bands out there BIG AND SMALL! We do a lot of gigs and have a great time, we are going to JAPAN in Feb to see ONE MAN STAND and DREX small bands but we love them! You are only here once so make the most of it you TOSSERS. Well OMD it as been great doing this but now FUCK OFF YOU QC DRINKING TWAT AND LEAVE ME ALONE!
