Why should people be interested in what you’ve got to say?
Because we’re a loud obnoxious bunch of pricks, and if you ignore us, we’ll just yell louder. We don’t have anything particularly intelligent to say, but you will listen.
If one was to ignore their ears, what does your music smell, feel, look and taste like?
King Parrot smells like the sticky carpet of the Tote floor, it feels like that scene in the old Indiana Jones movie where the guy gets his heart ripped out, it looks like a Siamese giraffe with a beak, and tastes like garbage juice.
If you had to talk someone into seeing you live, how would you convince them?
I’d probably just grab them in a headlock, punch them in the face and drag them to the show. Honestly though, we don’t need to convince anyone. Once you’ve seen King Parrot, you keep coming back.
Do you believe music can make a difference in the world?
If it wasn’t for music we’d all be in jail, so it has made a difference in our world. We figured the rest of the world is fucked anyway, so we might as well play some brutal ugly tunes to roll with its demise.
Have you got a release out, and if so, what would you recommend as the best activity to pursue whilst it plays?
We have a release out, The Stench of Hardcore of Hardcore Pub Trash on Impedance Records/Rocket distribution. Burying cats up to their necks in dirt and running over their heads with a lawnmower is something most King Parrot fans do for fun.
When’s the next gig and who else is playing?
The next gig is our EP launch at The Tote on Saturday September 3 with Frankenbok, Subjektive and Maniaxe.
