KILL HANNAH
interview byErin
So, I caught up with my main man Mat from Kill Hannah to ask him some questions, you know that whole thing where someone asks a bunch of questions then someone has to answer them? I think they call that an interview. Yeah, that's right, an interview. While the boys were on tour they found the time to get back to me. I'm quite impressed with the speed of the answers. Maybe that means I'm incredibly charming and hillarious and they loved answering my questions... or, maybe they're just on their email game. Anyway, me and Mat bro-ed down and this is what came from our 'bro sesh' :
Erin - Who makes Kill Hannah?
Mat - i sing, jonny and dan play guitar and greg plays bass...
Erin - If all the members of your band could have stealth code names, what would they be?
Mat - jonny would be "narcissus" , greg would be "MerchAttack", dan would be "Hydro" and i dont know, i'd be "FurCoat" or 'longface'
Erin - please elaborate on "long face", I'm intrigued.
Mat - oh, well one time my best friend in college asked me 'what do you think is your worst feature?' and i said 'probably my broken looking nose' and he said 'no it's your long face'---kinda hard to forget that
Erin - Which coast do you think will be the first to be eaten by the ocean, east or west?
Mat - i would defer to geologists and sizemologists on this one... just because i sing about the end of the world doesnt mean i know anything about it. i just hope that our ex manager is on whatever coast goes first.
Erin - If you could meet David Bowie as his character in Labrynth, what would be the first thing you would say to him?
Mat - this is the greatest moment of my life.
Erin - Tell us a funny tour story.
Mat - 3 days ago in knoxville i walked into an antique store and immediately grabbed the first fur coat i saw on the rack.. paid for it and left.. its rabbit fur and from the 1940s and i havent taken it off yet really.. its shedding over everything and everyone thinks it looks rediculous.. greg said i look like a coke dealer from moscow and our tour manager said i look like a male prostitute. i told him he looks like the type of guy would would hire a male prostitute.
Erin - If I gave you 20$ to drink a shot glass of vinegar, would you do it?
Mat - probably.
Erin - If I gave you 25$ to drink an 8 oz cup of vinegar, would you do that?
Mat - no.
Erin - What's you're favorite town to play?
Mat - this will sound insane, but right now, Toledo Ohio.
Erin - Orange, Grape or Strawberry soda?
Mat - orange or grape.. but soda is bad for you. and thank you for calling it 'soda'-- in chicago they call it "pop" and it drives me over the edge.
Erin - orange or grape, why are you getting greedy over here? I wanted you to choose ONE.
Mat - i dont care. i cant drink more of a sip of that shit anyway. ok grape i guess.
Erin - You're gonna _________ "until there's nothing left of you" - insert the first word that comes to mind.
Mat - stalk kate moss
Erin - Do you have any plans as far as the next record?
Mat - none.. this record is the focus right now.
Erin - You're going to my hometown (Toronto) on your upcoming tour, will you put my mother on your guest list?
Mat - is she hot? if not, will she at least bring me ravioli or something?
Erin - Well, she is hot AND she'll bring you ravioli... how bout THEM apples.
Erin - Where do you get most of your inspiration for your songs?
Mat - wine. french neorealism, violent nature programs, experiences from touring, heartbreak, the human condition, existentialism, bad dreams, memories of make out sessions, and an empathy for american adolescence
Erin - Will you get me a pony for my birthday? (Feb 4th)
Mat - shit, i got you Pony shoes instead.. i'm sorry.. but they are cool and pink.
Erin - well what if i don't like pink? can we trade them in for something black or red? i mean if it cant be a REAL pony *insert sad face*
Mat - hmmm... what about black fishnets?
Erin - I have 8 gajillion pairs of fishnets... I think I'll stick with the shoes.
That's all she wrote. The end. Le fin.
