What band would play at your ideal wedding?
I don’t really believe in marriage. Ain’t nobody gon hold me downnnn, oh no! I had a fake wedding on my 20th birthday, so in a way: been there, done that. But! I do believe in big parties, dancing, good music and good food. I’d probably have a FESTIVAL with all of my friends and bands I’ve worked with. It’d be like Waynestock. From Capybara to Trash 80 to friends from KDVS and I’d probably jump in with a dj set. You could probably trick me into getting married if you said “free whiskey.”
If you had a kid, what would be the first song you played for it?
I’m too much of a child to even consider having one myself. If there was some kid that I needed to babysit, then it would be
Lullatone‘s “Wake up Wake Up” for sure. I have two god daughters that are too cool for school.
What decade are you most nostalgic for and why?
The 90′s y’all, when tv was at its finest. The jams were on 106.1 KMEL and it was a time when a majority of my family lived within a 5 mile radius in the East Bay (California).
What’s your favorite venue?
It would have to be
The Delta of Venus Cafe in Davis, CA. It was the go-to place for brunch when I was in college and the Caribbean food was killer. A good amount of Mushpot bands have had their release shows there. It just feels like home.
What qualities do you possess that would make you an ideal hipster wife?
I’m really mad at you for even asking this question 1) because you just called me a hipster and 2) you said “wife” ! WTF, dude. But really, I’m up for adventure. I’ll try any food once, check out a new band or get a dumb tattoo with you (haven’t yet, Ma!). I suck at video games, but I’ll keep trying to beat you at Puzzle Fighter anyway.
What do you look for in a potential hipster husband?
Well I guess if I needed to hangout with someone for “long term” or whatever (what? a week?), they’d need to put up with my obsession with Lost , cooking and music. I’ll always be coming home late from shows and waking up early because I’m incapable of sleeping. There might be weird organ meats, stinky cheese and oddly colored vegetables in the fridge. If you can’t hold your liquor, I totes won’t be able to look you in the eye. Oh and I don’t want to talk to you if you don’t like the internet. What good will it do if I can’t stalk you?
