Super Thirty-One
Interview November 17, 1994
if you don't know, Super 31 is a shoegazer/moody-pop band. their first ep "Acceleration" is still something I listen to today. "Dragonfly" on it is one of my favorite love songs. This interview was conducted by e-mail when email was a new technology. QRD -- if you were a pretzel what kind would you be? Kelly -- jumbo soft pretzels with too much salt. QRD -- what's the first thing you do when you get up in the morning? Kelly & Brian -- put on our glasses. Frank -- bathroom. Robert -- check to see if his feet are still on. Quinn -- checks to see if his hair has fallen out QRD -- do you have any funny tour stories? Kelly -- playing at the Purple Onion in San Francisco where the owner looked like Crispin Glover. Frank's amp blew up & Brian's bass pedal broke & hit him in the face. Brian threw his drum sticks in the air & hit me in the head & I thought it was someone from the audience. Sonic Boom offered to share day-old calimari with Robert, "eh Robert, would ya like some squid, mate?" QRD -- when are you going to have another release? Kelly -- another ep is due out in a couple months, a seven inch. hopefully a full length by the end of the summer. QRD -- why do you have so many guitars? Kelly -- we have so many guitars (only three now + bass) because we want to be very loud. QRD -- what's the best t-shirt you own? Kelly -- Brian's Darth Vader shirt. QRD -- are you going to stay in school or tour? Kelly -- everyone is finished except me, & I will graduate in May, so after that we'll hit the road. QRD -- what president do you most identify with? Kelly -- politics & music don't mix. QRD -- chemical influence of choice? Kelly -- tween 20. QRD -- what kinds of watches do you wear? Kelly -- I am a proud owner of the limited edition fossil "grunge rocker" watch. Frank & Quinn don't wear watches. Brian wears a watch that doesn't work. Robert wears a watch that is worth more than all the money he has in the bank. QRD -- what songs do you cover? Kelly -- we've done "Heroin" by the Velvet Underground, "Revolution" by Spacemen 3, & we do great Motorhead impersonations. QRD -- where will you be in 24 years? Kelly -- all the guys will be bald except Frank. I'll be an english professor & Frank will be a psychologist. Brian will be having a liver transplant. Quinn will be working at Sizzler. & Robert will be married to a 20 year old. |
