1. Sime bumped fists with Snoop
At the Big Day Out, we were walking out of the artists’ compound as Snoop and his boys were walking in after their show; he was about 20 deep and right at the front. Sime put his fist out and said “big Snoop Dogg”. Sime got a fist with eight gold rings like Shabba Ranks on it and the reply, “Legend every day”.
2. Really, there are six people in the band
We have a friend named Ricky that pretty much does as much as any of the rest of us in the band, including performing and playing on recordings. He doesn’t really get paid though.
3. Our old man’s truck was in the film clip for Working Class Man
Good track. This is what I’ve been told but I have never actually seen it. I can’t be sure that it’s completely true. He also just made a complaint to the company “French Fries” claiming they had changed their recipe. They replied, “We haven’t change our recipe”. Then he said, “Well you have”.
4. Our sound guy crashed our car and missed a flight on the last tour
He had never done either of these things before that and has been on billions of tours with heaps of other bands. This was his first tour with us and he managed to both miss a flight and ding our rental van. It’s all good though ‘cause he taught me how to play Sweet Emotion.
5. We have new songs coming!
We are heading in to the studio soon to record some new stuff. We’re not really too sure what is gonna happen with it yet but we’re pretty excited about getting back in the studio!
LOON LAKE play the Corner Hotel on Thursday April 3.
