1. how old
are you ?
26.
2. How & why zulu
as kono ?
Because it was the
right time and we needed something to do. Zulu as Kono is the vehicle
to get our ideas out to the world.
3. What do you
do in your lifes - zulu is yr principal outlet ?
I am a screenprinter
by trade. Zulu as Kono is the principal creative outlet for musical ideas.
4. You have a
7" & few shows with SICBAY... can you tell us your meeting & your way
to appreciate them ?
We met Nick(Sakes)
the first time we played in Minneapolis. After this meeting we played
with Colossamite in Austin and have gone back to Minneapolis a couple
of times. We communicate thru e-mail off and on. I appreciate Sicbay,
not only because they are excellent musicians who write music that I like,
but they're also good guys.
5. Your second
album is over now ? Where do you want to go (musically) if you know...
Our second album is
out. As far as our direction musically we'll continue tomove forward doing
different things not confining ourselves to a certain sound or something
the listener expects.
6. What do you
think of music industry in the usa ?
I don't think of the
music industry in America. If you want to make the music we make you have
to pretty much do everything yourself. If somebody comes along and wants
to champion the cause then great.
7. Are There a lot of places to play for your style of music ?
We've toured quite
extensively the last two years and have found that yes there are alot
of places to play our music and most of the greatest, most appreciative
places to play are small towns that want to get a little crazy and have
some fun.
8. Do you already have problems with the audiences ?
We have no problems
w/ the audiences. They are very receptive. They seem to be listening and
responding positively most everywhere we go.
9. What do you think of the success of your neighbour At The Drive
in (el paso) all over the world...
Other people's success
is good for them. As far as me thinking of it, I think it must be neat-o
to have someone else, some other financial entity, help put out records,
book the tours,etc. So that all the band has to do is concentrate on the
music, but other than that good for them. It must be nice. I've seen their
posters everywhere,but don't think that I've heard them.
10. You live in
Texas (austin?), a place sadly known in europe for its racism, kkk & its
reactionnary side ... how do you live that ?
Racism is everywhere,
not just Texas.
11 . Texas is
the place G.W. BUSH manages... what do you think of capital punishment
... And texans in general ?
It's unfortunate that
people kill people. It's even more unfortunate when an innocent man is
put to death for a crime he didn't commit.
Texans are Texans.
12 . How do you
live these presidential elections... are you interested by that ?
I voted for Ralph
Nader. George W. Bush had already won Texas before the election started.
Iwanted Nader to get the 5% popular vote so maybe he could get the federal
funding needed to compete with the scumbags in Washington D.C.
13. Yr future project
? (musically or not)
More recording and
touring.
14. Last questions
concerning yr new 'artistic' discover these times...
Huh?
15. ZULU will be
soon in europe ?
Hopefully Zulu as
Kono will tour Europe. That's definitely a goal and with the folks we
have met thru the Internet and the more we get the word out the more feasible
this will become.
Thank You.
Aside from question
11, I understood them all.
