Interviewer:Sergio Interviewee:Kevin

Sergio: Well, lets give people a little background info and current info on the band. You know, who, what, when, and so what type of stuff.

Kevin Fetus Eaters has being making fun of grind since 1995.Members of the band include. Ross-guitar, Erich-bass, frED Johnson-drums and sarcasm, and myself doing the screams and assorted noises, (sazaphone, trainwhistle, jaw harp, harmonica, etc).

Sergio: Fetus Eaters,eh? Why such a "controversial" name? Are you guys pro choice or pro life?

Kevin Fred came up with the name when he started the band, we did it just for fun, just to play fast music, and have a good time...he chose the name cuz it was so stupid... Pro choice.... Fuck, at the moment, I am pro Joyce,(a sweet looking middle eastern girl at my work). Abortion should not only be legal, but mandatory, this world is filled with to many fucking people, most of whom should have been ripped from the womb via heat suction.

Sergio: Damn...do you have any other beliefs? Maybe political ones?

Kevin I dont really keep up on politics, Erich and Ross do, they seem to care about whats going on in the world, while I am more concerned with my depression.

Sergio: Tell me about "vomitcore". What exactly is it that makes people puke at your shows?

Kevin The sheer intensty my friend, the smell of putrified babies in rusty buckets, once one person starts to vomit, it cause a chain reaction, soon everyone is puking up large venomous chunks of last nights beans and polish sausage.

Sergio: Is Fetus Eaters a multimedia assault on the senses? Complete with costumes, fake blood, and gorey imagery or just a straightforward kickass grind band? in other words, do you have a gimmick?

Kevin On halloween we bust out costumes, but for the most part, we just get up and aurally assault you... we dont have a gimmick, other than the 4 fools that we are, and that seems to attract people.....sorry, I am hungover, to much Jagermesiter with Couvasier chasers.

Sergio: You spew forth all this madness with non traditional punk instruments as well as the traditional ones? Why?

Kevin Why not?, I mean, all the other grind bands sound the same, we wanted to throw a different element into our music, and that is what sets us apart. Not that we are some revolutionary band, but I dont think we sound like all the other simple grind bands out there. Some people dont like that we use the weird instruments, and thats fine, they are entitled to their opinion, not that it's a valid one, fuck em...scumbags.

Sergio: Youve played Sunday Mass,isnt that a 21+ club? What do you think of bands playing 21+ spaces?

Kevin Well, it was held at a club that was 21 and over, but has since moved to another venue, where they let younger kids come in.. It doesn't matter to me if we play a 21 and over club, or backyard party, I am there to have fun... it's better when the kids are there though, because they seem to have all that energy, and want to slam, while the older crowd just drinks and smokes outside.

Sergio: What are your lyrics mostly about? Is it your run of the mill murder/gore stuff or does it have more substance?

KevinLyrics?...c'mon, i used to have lyrics, but I gave up on em, cuz no one can understand the words anyway, it's about intensity, going out and delivering a show that people are going to remember.... I am in this band, cuz this is the type of band I would want to see, I could give a fuck what someone is screaming about, whether is politics, gore, porn, emotions, I jut dont care...so I dont do it.

Sergio: The song "Shave and a Haircut(for Jesus), is that a hint that you guys are clean cut Christians? Whats your stance on religion in hardcore or religion in general?

Kevin Fuck all religions, if you wanna sing about Jesus, or Ala, or Buddah, or Jah, go ahead, just dont fucking preach about it in between songs, chances are, I am going to make fun of you, and if I get my ass kicked because of it... then fine.Religion is stupid.People cant belive in themselves, so they follow the "words" that have been re-written so many fucking times, that no one knows the real meaning of anything anymore, fuck, this hangover is killing me.

Sergio: What other bands are Fetus Eaters members involved in?

KevinI play guitar in a band called WATCH ME BURN, and do some assorted noises in a elcetronic band called Spacey Cakes (with Ross and Erich). I have some other things going on, but I cant divulge them at this point.

Sergio: Do you think that grinds kind of diminishing in popularity as opposed to the early 90's scene in OC, Oakland and LA?

KevinNot diminishing, cuz there are a ton of bands doing grind all over the place, but it's hard to get a show happening.Clubs dont want to deal with the crappy turn outs, and if you throw a backyard party, chances are it's gonna get closed down before the first band finishes.

Sergio: Whats something youve always wanted to be asked or you wanted to say but never had the opportunity to?

Kevin:"Would you take this gun" ( interviewer hands me a hand cannon) and please blow your brains out all over this blank canvas with the title " ahh, happiness"... I havent been asked that one yet.... my answer would be a " Yes"

Sergio: What do you think of George Bush and the war on countries with rich oil supplies AKA "terrorist states"?

Kevin It's all bullshit, we are promoting a double standard, we have biological weapons, and weapons of mass destruction, but no one else is allowed to have them? I dont think anyone should have them, everyone should just kill themselves, me first though. Fuck G.W. Bush, that fuckin asshole cant say more that 3 or 4 words with out pausing to read his next line.

Sergio: If Georgie were at a Fetus Eaters show what would happen? Would you beatbox him to death?

KevinI wouldn't care, maybe I'd tell some drunk chick that George called her a slut, and see if I could get her to talk some shit to him, that guy is in serious need of a golden cocktail.

Sergio: Do any of you have kids? or did you eat them?

Kevin:NO!!!

Sergio: Could you go through your releases and any upcoming stuff?

KevinWe're hoping to do some shows soon. We have released 2 demo tapes ("Do you wanna get pregnant?" and the "We Win/Split 7").Then a cool kat from Austria (Didi from Hamerwerk records) wrote me and wanted to put out a 7" for us, so we comprised tracks from both tapes, and Hammerwerk pressed 1000 copies. We then recorded some of those songs again, along with some new ones, and put out our own cd on our own lable "Vomitcore Records". We then did a split 7" with Finlands Irritate, that came out on Vulgar records in Germany, 500 copies pressed. Then last year, RSR records wrote us and wanted to put out a cd for us, so we wrote 28 new songs, and sent them off to RSR, who just put the cd out.I think 500 copies were pressed.

Sergio: I saw a copyright notice on your demo a while back. Do you guys belive in copyright? Whats your opinion concerning this issue?

Kevin:At our level of suck-cess, it makes no difference.

Sergio: Any rock en espanol albums from you guys? The crossover thing is getting pretty popular? Didnt NSYNC do one?Are you the next NSYNC?

Kevin: NO!!!
