Mcqueen and the Art of Dying Sound Off
MCQUEEN
Sounding off with Leah Duors (vocals)
XSBS: If you had your own reality show, what would it be called and why?
LD: ‘Bloodbath’ obviously not a family show!!!
XSBS: What one material possession could you not do without and why?
LD: I dunno, I’ve been thinking about this question and I can pretty much live without everything I own… I’d be bored fucking shitless which would lead to trouble, but I can do without material things…
XSBS: What’s your secret guilty pleasure?
LD: I’m addicted to 24. I’ve seen every single season on DVD.
XSBS: Your most embarrassing moment on stage?
Leah: One time I was onstage and I went to address the audience and I honestly had no clue where in the UK we were. It was a real “where the fuck am I?” moment and it was embarrassing because I wasn’t even that drunk!!!
XSBS: The most frequently played song on your mp3? (Name and artist)
LD: At the moment??? Serj Tankian ‘The Unthinking Majority’
XSBS: When is a fan a stalker?
Leah: When they dry hump your leg like a wild terrier!!!
XSBS: If you had to go a round in the ring with one of your band mates who would you choose and why?
LD: My band mates are among the few people on this planet that I have absolutely no inclination to smack up the mouth. I’d like to see Cat (de Casanove) fight our tour manager King Caeser Hylands… I reckon she’d kick his arse!!! Ha, ha!!!
XSBS: Any new tour, CD, or band info for 2008?
LD: No… Now we’ve done our first album, we’re taking twenty years off, we’ll be back for a reunion tour when I can afford botox ha, ha!!! Just kidding… We’ve got fuckloads coming up… We’re working on the new album, we’re always, always, always touring somewhere in the world so keep an eye out on www.myspace.com/mcqueen for up to date info.

ART OF DYING
Sounding off with Jonny Hetherington (vocals)
XSBS: If you had your own reality show, what would it be called and why?
JH: “Keeping it Together” - I think everyday in the life of Art of Dying, and Thorny Bleeder Records is a reality show in itself. There are so many obstacles and so many personalities involved in running a label and being in a band… It’s a traveling gong show! I love every minute of it… Of course, if there was a camera following us around most of the footage would have to be saved for the “Too much for TV” DVD version.
XSBS: What one material possession could you not do without and why?
JH: It’s a toss up between my guitar and my Mac. I feel completely lost without both.
XSBS: What’s your secret guilty pleasure?
JH: Kenny Rogers has always held a secret spot in my heart. Plus the man makes a mean bird… it’s the wood that makes it good!
XSBS: Your most embarrassing moment on stage?
JH: Ahhh… there’s so many. One time I puked on stage in Seattle in between lyrics… I bailed ass over tea kettle over a monitor in Edmonton at the starlite room… Did an entire set with my fly opened at Jet in Edmonton… hmmm what’s with Edmonton? I’m going to have to remember that for next time. I’ll have to do the entire show in the Grizzly Suit (is that what it’s called??) to avoid any mishaps.
XSBS: The most frequently played song on your ipod? (Name and artist)
Cannonball - Damien Rice
JH: When is a fan a stalker?
I’ve never been stalked… maybe we’re not stalk-worthy?
XSBS: If you had to go a round in the ring with one of your band mates who would you choose and why?
JH: Definitely Greg, when he punches it looks like a little girl trying to throw a baseball (this is not a generalization… only information gathered from actual experiences). Watching Greg throw punches is gut wrenchingly funny. In fact, one time we pulled over in Idaho for a piss, and all threw rocks with our left hands for at least an hour. Very similar experience!
XSBS: Any new tour, CD, or band info for 2008?
JHL We’re playing CMW in Toronto in March and touring back to Vancouver that month. Dates will be listed soon… Be on the lookout for a new acoustic EP from Art of Dying as well.
