FUNGALPUNK INTERVIEWS

Jordan

A Punky Chum

 

1. Jordan - tell us about your punk life so far - where did it all begin?

I am 13 years old and my first gig was Foo Fighters when I was about 8 then I got bitten by music and been giging ever since. I have been all over the country watching bands and have been to Amsterdam for the last 3 years and still love it.

2. Your mum has been abducted by homosexual aliens, your dad has booked himself in to George Bests Alcoholic Rehab Centre (Again) and all other friends and family have turned to the mystic religion of QC. You are alone in the world and have been left with an MP3 player that can play 3 albums. What 3 albums would you have on it and why?

Errm hard one that - probably Drongos for Europe - Barcode Generation because I love them. The Red Eyes - On Prescription - great album and a great band, The Adicts - Sound of Music because they're fun and great.

3. Heroes and zeroes in life and in music please?

Heroes in life my dad, mum, sister, Alison, Janine, Beth, You, Drongos, Wooly and Tracy, Webby and Gina, One Man Stand + loads more. Zeroes in life bullies, nazis, people that hurt animals and kids.

Heroes in music Drongos, One Man Stand, Animal, Monkey, Mensi, Decca, Wednesday 13, You. Zeroes in music Nazi's and people who take drugs.

4. Tim 'Punk4Life' Davies has grown an afro and started running seedy blues clubs for chinese people under five foot. These are exclusive clubs and you really do get a name for yourself if you join. You are still under five feet tall - would you consider taping back your eyes and using chopsticks so as to get into one of these elite establishments?

To be honest - no way because if it was run by Tim it would be a shambles even though I do love chinese food and I do not drink QC.

5. Best gig and worst gig you have ever attended?

Too hard but I will name some best gigs, SAS tour, Adicts in Amsterdam, Upstarts in Stockport, Drex in Chesterfield, all Wednesday 13 gigs, all Drongos gigs, Cockney Rejects in Blackpool - I could go on for ever. Worst gigs are Meteors in Stockport they were shit and he is a grumpy bastard. Cocksparrer in Blackpool - overpaid crap what is it all about - the bands at your SAS gig deserve more than them.

6. In 3 sentences describe what punk means to you?

It means a dead lot of fun and laughs, great music, great people like yourself and others. A chance to meet lots of bands and see lots of great music.

7. As a young person how do you see punks future and what bands would you like to see lead the way?

To be honest I think punk is dying a slow death. I do not want it to but at the moment thats the way its going so that's why you all need to get off your lazy arse's and come and watch these new and improving bands and give them support and let them lead the way like some of the bands on Fungalpunks gigs and some of the small bands I've mentioned even though I do like a lot of big bands they should give support slots to the small bands.

8. Betty Buttockknuckle is 75% navel and 25% she-monkey? If you can describe what the hell I am on about then so much the better because to be quite frank I don't know!

To be frank I think you have had too much QC in your life and I think you are eating too many magic mushrooms and you need to go and get medical help QUICK!

9. Besides punk what other musical genres do you enjoy?

I enjoy rock, metal, ICP which is rap-metal, mainstream punk like Green Day - a bit of everything really.

10. Tell us about the most embarrassing CD in your collection and why is it so cringe-worthy?

Emergency - Shut Your North and South - because I am on the cover of the album and they are crap.

11. Would you eat an housebrick for a free box of pencils and what other hobbies/interests do you have away from punk?

I would only eat it if it had gravy and brown sauce and they were coloured pencils. My other interests are comics, manga movies, and normal movies but most of all playing on my XBOX 360.

12. Finally tell us lot of old punk bastards what its all about and give us one message about the way we should see punk?

Its all about enjoying yourself, be nice to people, enjoy the music and enjoy the scene and get off your lazy arse and keep punk going. Buy cd's and t-shirts, pay to get in gigs. Now OMD piss off you drunken QC drinkin' bastard leave me and my dad alone are you stalking us or what?
