Larry and Colin
from Hundred Reasons

10 May 2001

How did you all meet?
Colin: The guy who manages us brought us together. We were originally in two different bands but weren't really getting anywhere so he had the idea of all of us joining together and it worked really well.

Where did the name 100 Reasons come from?
C: We liked the word 'hundred' so had an idea that we could use that. Then one day we were looking on the internet for inspiration and saw a list of 200 reasons for something, so we just used the number 100 instead of 200 and that was it.

So what do you think of Peterborough?
C: It's cool. It's a really good venue to play in, but kind of weird aswell. The people here are completely insane, which is always a good thing.
Larry:I think that it's the smallest we've played in for a while, but we prefer playing smaller venues, the crowd get into it more.

What's the biggest venue that you've played?
C:London Arena. We supported One Minite Silence and Nine Inch Nails there last year.

You're on tour at the moment. Are you enjoying it?
C:Yeah. We always enjoy it and we get to meet all our fans which is good!

Where's the next stop?
C:Oxford tomorrow. We're really looking forward to it. We've been there a few times and it's always the best gig.
L:The venue is quite strange and in a very unusual location, it's sort of stuck to the side of this buliding but we always get the best response there so it's good.

Have you got any festival appearances lined up?
L:Hopefully Reading
C:We've never played there, but have heard it's a really good gig to do.

How do you feel about winning Kerrangs! best newcomer award?
C:Very surprised
L:You know how usually whoever has won is told beforehand? Well we weren't! We didn't expect it at all and were so shocked when it was announced. It was an amazing experience just being there. We were sitting at our table with Marilyn Manson one side of us and Slipknot on the other and it was so surreal, we were just like 'what the fuck are we doing here? So to win an award was brilliant.

Slipknot! Wow! Did you get to see them without their masks on?
C:Yeah, and they were all surprisingly normal looking!
L:They're younger than you would expect aswell. Most of them are only in their 20s.

You toured with Idlewild and Turn last year, what was that like?
C:Really good, a great experience aswell. We're big fans of both bands so going on tour with them was brilliant. We've become really good friends with them now, I think I've still got Roddy's number on my mobile actually.

Oh my god, Can we have it?
C:No!

Can we have backstage passes for the Reading Festival then?
C:NO!!!

What do you think of some of the bands around at the moment? Have you got any favourites
C:Really like Weezer's new stuff. Rachel Stamp are pretty good aswell. But that new Shaggy song 'It wasn't me', is definitely a favourite at the moment

Are there any new bands around at the moment that you are really impressed with?
C:Douglas who are supporting us on this tour are really brilliant. We don't get muct time to listen out for new bands though.

Laura is a bit of an obsessive King Adora fan. What do you think of them?
L:I really hate them, and those short tops they wear just look really stupid, especially with all that belly button fluff they have - sorry!

Are you planning on releasing any new stuff soon?
C:No. We're never releasing anything again it's too much hard work.

They had potential to be such nice people, and if it wasn't for their compulsive lying, insulting KA and not giving us Roddy's phone number we might have still thought they were

Message for Colin from the band - we know what you did and we're not impressed! You're not funny, you're not clever and dont think we can't find out where you live!! However, we may be able to forgive you in exchange for a few Reading backstage passes!
