01:10 AM - Goes Cube interview by the numbers
The lineup for this Saturday's After The Jump Fest is a diverse one. Though some of the acts might not make a lot of sense together on your average show, getting to see all sorts of acts in one place is the beauty of a festival. If anything is certain, it's that Goes Cube will be the loudest band of the day. I don't usually interview bands (though the Bling Kong BBQ&A was fun - they're also playing the After The Jump Fest Day Show) but I've made an exception here for the distinction of being the first (and hopefully, according to Dave, the last) to conduct an interview with Goes Cube in the most obvious manner possible: by asking them numbers. I figured that a band whose song titles are all numbers should be up to the challenge, and of course the trio came through with some hilarious (maybe a few too informative) responses... Goes Cube - "Song 30" 3. 2? 4. 88? 5. 11231? 6. 11? 7. 3? 8. 50? You can see Goes Cube for free this Saturday at the After The Jump Fest at Studio B in Brooklyn. They're on EARLY. Hey, did somebody say something about Slagkicks? myspace.com/goescube / goescube.com Other bloggers are catching up with the bands playing After The Jump, here are a few recent interviews:
Earfarm's video for "Goes Cube Song 34" - proof that they are great jumpers
* Stereogum just posted a new exclusive track: Goes Cube - "Song 46"
1. 24?
Dave: Hey, "Goes Cube Song 24" was the first song we wrote as a trio (Kenny
had just joined the band).
Matt: What is 3x8?
Kenny: Fucking horrible show on tv starring the guy from the Lost Boys.
2. 37?
D: According to Wikipedia, 37 A.D. was the year an earthquake destroyed
Antioch. But, also, according to Wikipedia, Stephen Hawking's nickname
is "Ol' Dick and Balls." So, you know...take it with a grain of salt.
M: Prime number.
K: The number of dicks Dante's girlfriend sucked in the movie Clerks
D: I prefer the more formal II.
M: Never heard of it.
K: My up-to-date testicle count
D: Show me a number that doesn't look better on the back of a football
jersey.
M: Fingers Louie
K: when Doc's Delorian hits that speed, "you're gonna see some serious
shit."
D: BROOKLYN, WHAT?! CARROLL GARDENS, WHAT?!
M: Where I answer this from.
K: Roughest neighborhood in Brooklyn... and by roughest, I mean most
candy-assed
D: The thing is, Bryan, you're really coming at us with the hard-hitting questions. And I just don't know if I can answer something like this
right now.
M: I agree with Dave. This is too personal to answer.
K: My soccer number in high school... Also the age I lost my
virginity... just kidding... or am I?
D: Nothing compared to 23. Donnie Baseball, baby.
M: Leave it to Dave to admire a baseball player who is a goddmaned
hippy. Cut those sideburns Mattingly.
K: The number of guys in our band... also the number of "gays" in our
band.
D: Is that a request? OK, we'll play "Goes Cube Song 50" at ATJ.
M: What Dave said.
K: fifty dowwa bill... FIFTY DOWWA BILL!!!! FIFTY DOWWA BILL!!!!
