Interview with Brody Dalle
How old where you when you started playing the guitar?
I was 13 years old . My uncle frazer was a muso and surfer , he had a 1960's rickenbacker that i used to drool over and a couple of old acoustics , one of which he gave me . He taught me a few chords the easiest being e major and e minor , i would play these chords over and over and over for hours , until my fingers were severly blistered .
When did you move to the U.S from Australia?
April 8th 1997 , i'm coming up on 10 years ! And i plan to partey for 24 hours straight .
Have you ever met a kangaroo?
Yes . My mum took me to a kangaroo park in brisbane when i was just a sprout with a blonde fluffy wig-do , you get to hand feed em , they are pretty laid back as you can imagine , you'd be a fat lazy bastard too if someone hand fed you and scratched your belly all day long . The wild ones are knarley, they box eachother , they could kick your ass and some of them stand 6 feet tall . I 've eaten roo , although i'm not much a fan , tastes like poo mix with bush ( as in the australian countryside ) , it's a bit gamey for me and tough to chew , I don't eat much meat these days anyways.
Who are you biggest musical influences?
ahhhh too many to name. At the moment - misfits , roky erickson ( always ) , my bloody valentine , black flag , joy division ..........jesus don't get me started .
what are some musical differences between The Distillers and Spinnerette?
Think of all the differences between a girl and a woman - Spinnerette is a full grown woman , smart , good looking and opinionated . She's refined without being anal .But she'll still knock you around and get drunk in front of your mom , oh and she loves puns.
Are you planning on a U.S tour anytime soon?
As soon as humanly possible.

The Lot Six , eagles of death metal we took them to england with us , the donnas - i love those girls , peaches , THE FUCKING PIXIES ( kim is the real ) , Qotsa - mainly cos i got to be with my man and because they are sick fuckers - they are the T - rex of rock'n'roll ( the dinosaur not the band ), The fucking stooges , primal scream ( booby is such a slut ).
What is the craziest show you've ever played?
2am tokyo japan , 16,000 screaming japanese - THE STOOGES AND PRIMAL SCREAM . That show was definately the coolest thing we've ever done.
If your band was a beverage what would it be and why?
