Q&A: Jika

jika.jpg

Name:

Jeffrey Ortiz Raul Castro.

Define your genre in five words or less:

Schizophrenic freestyle grooves.

How long have you been gigging and writing.?

We have been smashing that shit since 1998. Jika started as a bright-eyed try hard grunge band, then I joined the band in 2001 and taught those mother fucking pussies to grow some hair on their balls. Then Zane Rosanoski joined the band in 2003 and that’s when we started playing in time and mixing steroids with coke.

What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?

Pretty fuckin’ easy, just swallow lots of cum and make your band sound like shit.

Where would you like to be in five years?

Owning an island in Dubai, we’ll call it Jeff’s Paradiso. Only members of Jika will be allowed to live there. The population ratio will consist of  ten females to every male. I’ll probably stay there til the day I die which will be about one or two years max.

Why should everyone come and see your band?

You shouldn’t come to see us play. You should come after we play for our after parties which we have grown our reputation for. We have a post-show party bus ready to go along with crack, speed, coke, booze and strippers.

What inspires or has influenced your music the most?

Groupies, group sex, sex without condoms, blow jobs, boob jobs, nose jobs, foot jobs, finger jobs, fun jobs, lying to our girlfriends, lying to bookers, lying to the press, lying in general, cheating, starting fights, having sex with bricks, being inconsiderate and arrogant, brotherhood, pissing and shitting on the side of the road, making fun of the shitty support bands, being really drunk and starting fights, and in general feeling like we are better than other bands.

When are you doing your thing next?

Saturday May 11, Gershwin room, The Espy. $15 entry.
