1. Pete has an allergy to alliteration – it causes him to vomit vigorously into a vessel of venomous vipers. He’d back up that fact but he’s currently indisposed (munting into a large pit of snakes). He also thought it would be funny to name the band The Morrisons and pretend we were a family band. It wasn’t that funny and ended up causing a lot of confusing interview questions such as, “Do you find it difficult getting along with each other in rehearsals, being siblings?”
2. Lizzie actually won the Coolest Person in the World Award in 2009. That was, of course, before she met Pete and Nick, joined The Morrisons and realised she’d need to learn how to play all the instruments in the world or let her housemates tattoo a bear on her back to compete with those dudes. She’s now a self confessed dork, she’d back that up but she’s currently consumed by an intense game of Mario Kart Wii with Nick’s girlfriend.
3. Nick started The Morrisons through a World of Warcraft chat room after his account was hacked and all his money was stolen. He intended it to be heavier than Cannibal Corpse with cement boots on but it ended up being more punky and fun. He still thinks it sounds good and I’m pretty sure he likes the band but he’ll never leave Pete alone with his gold again.
4. Nath is agoraphobic. He hasn’t left the house in more than ten years, he just sits on his couch watching re-runs of the Golden Girls while he cleans his miniature pet pig with a dust buster. He attends all gigs and rehearsals via Skype or sometimes as a hologram if a particularly good episode is on. He’d back that up but he’s currently got 24 monitors hooked up so he can perform in 23 different bands all at once while keeping a close eye on Betty White.
5. Justin’s right foot ages backwards, just like Benjamin Button. You can’t really tell at the moment, but it was pretty noticeable when he was a baby with arthritis and bunions. When he’s old it’ll be all cute and chubby with cute baby-smelling skin, but it’ll still be gross ‘cause he’ll be like 85. What would happen if Benjamin Button lived to 100 but aged to negative 10? That movie didn’t make sense. Justin’s pretty good at cutting hair, too.
THE MORRISONS play The Old Bar on Saturday April 5.
