Shat with The MIC

Band:SHAT
The Mic: What got this band together and started in
this business?

SHAT: I HAVE BEEN WRITING SILLY SONGS SINCE I WAS 14. EVEN IN 6 TH GRADE FRIENDS AND I WOULD COME UP WITH SILLY DIRTY SONGS. I REMEMBER STEVE MARTIN HAD "KING TUT" AND THERE WAS A SONG FROM THIS BAND AND IT WENT "YOUR BREAKIN MY HEART, YOUR TEARIN IT APART SO FUCK YOU" WE THOUGHT THAT WAS THE GREATEST, OUR TEACHER TOOK THE TAPE AWAY, C.D.'S WERNT INVENTED YET, THIS WAS 1981. I WOULD ALWAYS HAVE NEW SILLY SONGS ON MY OWN THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, IT WASNT TILL MIND ERASER 1992-1996 THAT THIS BAND STARTED INCORPERATING SILLY LYRICS OVER REDICULIOUS FAST HEAVY MUSIC, MIND ERASER WAS WAY AHEAD OF THERE TIME. BEN FROM DILLIGER ESCAPE PLAN USED TO SOME TO OUR SHOWS WHEN HE WAS 15 AND IF YOU READ EARLY DILLINGER INTERVIEWS, HE STATES THAT IF IT WASNT FOR MIND ERASER, DILLINGER'S MUSIC MAY NOT HAVE EXISTED. AFTER MIND ERASER I PLAYED BASS IN M.O.D. AND THEN DILLINGER FOR A WHILE. DURING THIS TIME I WAS FINDING OUT ABOUT BANDS LIKE MUCKY PUP, MURPHYS LAW, THE MENTORES, ECT AND SEEING THAT FUNNY, FUN HEAVY MUSIC WORKS TOO AND IT WAS WHAT I WANTED TO DO, JUST TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND BEYOND SO I CAME UP WITH THE CONSEPT OF SHAT. STARTED WITH ABOUT 13 SONGS AND ASKED A GUITAR PLAYER AND DRUMMER FROM A BAND CALLED "SLAPJAW" TO LEARN THE RIFFS I HAD WRITTIN AND START THIS BAND SHAT.



The Mic:Who writes and produces all the material for
the band?

I WRITE MOST ALL THE RIFFS AND INDEAS I DO HAVE OUTSIDE INFLUESNSES FROM FRIENDS BUT I TELL THEM THEY WILL GET NO CREDIT, THEY DONT CARE THEY JUST WANNA HEAR THE SONG OR ILL JUST BE HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE AND A SONG IDEA WILL POP INTO MY HEAD, BUT MOSTLY THE SONGS ARE WRITTIN AFTER I HAVE LIVED THEM. PERFECT EXAPLE "STEPPED IN SHIT" IT WAS LIKE IT HAPPENED AND THE SONG WAS BORN. YOU CAN HERE ALOT OF THESE SONGS LIKE THIS ON THE NEW C.D. "CUNTREE". THIS IS WHY IT TAKES A FEW YEARS TO COME OUT WITH A NEW C.D. GOTTA LIVE IT FIRST. ALL THE SONGS I PUT ON MY MINI HAND-HELD RECORDER, EVEN RIFFS, ILL HUM THEM FIRST THEN WRITE THE GUITAR RIFF FROM THAT. BUT YEA SHAT IT PRETTY MUCH ALL ME AND THATS GOOD CAUSE WHEN SHIT DONT GO WRITE THE ONLY ONE I CAN BLAME IS MYSELF.



The Mic:The band played in front of or with any acts
our readers would
know from the Mainstream?

OH YES. SHAT IS HUDGE, PROBABLY MORE SO THEN ILL EVER KNOW. WE DID 2 U.S. AND 1 EUROPEEIN TOUR WITH DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, AT THAT TIME BEN , GUITARIST FROM DILLINGER WAS PLAYING DRUMS AS "MANGINA" AND DILLINGER'S SOUND GUY MIKE "SLOPPY SECONDS" WAS PLAYIN GUITAR, WE HAD NO BASS PLAYER LIVE, I PLAYED BASS ON THE FIRST 2 C.D.'S. "CUNT PARM" AND "CUNT FLAVORD LOLLI-POPS". THAT WAS HUDGE FOR SHAT GETTING THE NAME OUT. THEN WE OPENED FOR CKY AT THE BIRCH HILL AND THATS WHEN BAM AND HIS BROTHER DISCOVERD US. BAM IS A HUDGE SHAT FAN, HE EVEN MADE A VIDIO FOR US YOU CAN SEE IT ON YOUTUBE JUST SEARCH "BAN-I FUCKED YOUR WIFE" ON YOUTUBE AND YOULL FIND IT, ITS ALSO ON OUR MYSPACE www.myspace.com/shatpunkrock ITS NEW HE DIDNT EVEN TELL US HE JUST MADE IT AND WE FOUND OUT, BUT HE HAS PUT ONE OF OUR SONGS ON HIS C.D.S THAT HE GIVES OUT WHEN HE SELLS HIS DVD'S OF THE SHOW VIVA LA BAM, HE CAME TO A SHOW WE PLAYED NEAR HIS HOUSE, AND PUT A TRACK OF OURS IN HIS NEW MOVIE COMMING OUT. THERE HAS BEEN A FEW BIG SHOWS WITH BANDS LIKE THIS BUT I FORGET WHO THEY WERE. WHEN WE PLAYED WITH DILLINGER IN L.A. MARK MC GRAPH FROM SUGER REY CAME UP TO ME AND WAS LIKE I HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF YOUR C.D.'S , GAVE ME 20 BUCKS TOOK THE C.D. AND WALKED AWAY WITHOUT TAKING CHANGE. IT SEEMS THAT I HEAR ALOT FROM BANDS ON THE ROAD AND ALL OVER THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS LISTENING TO SHAT, THATS PRETTY COOL. OUR DIY TOURS OVER THE LAST 6 YEARS ON OUR OWN HAVE REALY HELPED TOO. DIY IS THE WAY FUCK COUNTING ON SOMEONE ELSE. NO ONE IS MORE INTO YOUR OWN BAND BUT THE BAND ITSELF. ANYONE SAYS THERE INTO YOUR BAND AND WANTS TO HELP, ITS BULLSHIT, SOMEWHERE OR SOMEHOW THEY ARE DOING IT CAUSE THEY THINK THEY WILL GET SOMETHING FROM IT EVENTUALY AND IF THEY DONT THEY BAIL AND YOUR FUCKED. DO IT YOUR FUCKING SELF. ITS THE ONLY WAY AT THIS POINT IN TIME.



The Mic:Where can people access your music on the web?

HAD A WEBSITE BUT I OWED DUDE MONEY AND IT EXPIRED, EVERYONE USEES MYSPACE AND IF YA DONT THEN YA SHOULD, ITS A FREE WEBSITE AND A HUDGE COMUNITY FOR BANDS. YES OTHER THAN THAT ITS , WHATEVER, BUT WE ARE AT www.myspace.com/shatpunkrock

OUR OLD MYSPACE OF OVER 150,000 HITS GOT DELEATED IN 2008 AFTER THIS CHICK PUT UP PICS FROM A SHOW IN LONG BEACH C.A. IT WAS LIKE CLOSE UPS OF MY BALLS AND SHIT. I DIDNT HAVE THE SPACE SET TO APROVE PHOTOS SO THEY WENT RIGHT UP, I WAS ON TOUR AND DIDNT SEE THE PICS FOR LIKE 3 DAYS, BY THEN TOM OR MYSPACE SUCERITY SAW THEM AND BANNED THE SITE. IT WAS HORRABLE, ALL MY SHIT THAT I WORKED FOR WAS ERASED.

THIS MAY BE THE ONLY REASON THAT THE SHAT WEBSITE WILL BE BACK UP SOON. BUT THE NEW MYSPACE HAS ONLY BEEN UP SINCE FEB 2008 AND HAS OVER 50,000 HITS, THATS PRETTY COOL. BUT STARTING OVER AGAIN REALY SUCKED ASS.



The Mic:Any embarrassing moments on stage?

EVERY MOMENT ON STAGE IS EMBARRASSING. WE WE EMBARRASS OUR SELVES DILIBERATLY. I THINK THE MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENTS ARE THE MOMENTS THE AUDIENCE IS EXPERIENCING WHILE WATCHING US PLAY.

EM-BARE-ASS , I LIKE THAT WORD. ONE TIME WHEN THE GUYS IN DILLINGER WERE PLAYIN WITH ME I WAS YELLING AT THEM CAUSE THEY FUCKED UP, WICH WORKS FOR THIS BAND, BUT BEN DECIDED TO JUMP OFF THE KIT AND TRY TO TACKLE ME, THEN MIKE TRIED WRESTLING ME AND I WAS KICKING BOTH THERE ASSES WHILE 300 PEOPLE WERE LIKE WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING.

SO MANY STORIES SO LITTLE TIME. YOULL HAVE TO READ MY BOOK. CANT WAIT, GONNA WRITE IT WHEN IM 50.



The Mic:Any good stories you want to tell us?

THERES 1000'S FUNNY THING IS BEN FROM DILLINGER REMEMBERS EVERYTHING, THE PRO'S OF NOT DOING DRUGS I GUESS, ONCE HE BRINGS SHIT UP I CAN REMEMBER, BUT DAMN.

MMMMMM. ALOT OF STORIES CANNOT BE SHARED TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE INVOLED BUT LET ME SEE.....HERES A COOL ONE FROM WAY BACK. SHAT WAS ON TOUR WITH DILLINGER IN EUROPE, WE PLAYED A SHOW IN ENGLAND AND THEN THE NEXT NIGHT WASNT TOO FAR AWAY AND THE SAME PROMOTER. IT WAS AT A CHURCH AND AN ALL AGES SHOW, IT WAS SUPOSSED TO BE US, DILLINGER AND THE ICERUS LINE CAUSE THAT WAS THE TOUR, WE WERE IN AN AWSOME DOUBLE DECKER TOUR BUS FOR 2 AND A HALF WEEKS. ANYWAY THE PROMOTER SAID SHAT CANT PLAY, ALL AGES, CHURCH BLA BLA BLA. SO I GOT ON MIC BEFORE ICKKY LINE AND MADE A SPEACH IT WAS INSPERATIONAL, SO I HUNG OUTSIDE AND CHATTED WIT THE BITCHES AND FANS AND SHIT, THEN !!!! TOM DILLINGERS MANAGER COMES OVER AND SAYS "JEFF THIS CHICK HAS TO PISS AND SHE WANTS TO PISS ON YOUR FACE" SO I WAS LIKE "A-K". REMEMBER THIS IS RIGHT OUTSIDE THE CLUB LIKE IN THE WAY IN. SO I TOOK OFF MY SHIRT AND LAYED DOWN AS THIS CHICK FROM ENGLAND PUT HER CUNT RIGHT OVER MY NOSE AND TRIED TO PEE. I WAS WAITING FOR LIKE 10 MINS AS A CROWD GATHERED AND CHEERED HER ON. SHE TOTALY COULDNT DO IT, SO SHE STARTED POUNDING WHISKY AND BEER AND WHATEVER. MEANWHILE DILLINGERS MERCH GIRL, "MONICA" ,WHO IS A WHOLE OTHER BOOK TO BE WRITTIN, SAYS I CAN DO IT, ILL PISS ON YOUR FACE, LET ME DRINK SOME WATER AND ILL LET YA KNOW WHEN IM READY. ..K.. SO WHILE WAITING FOR MONICA TOM GRABS ME AND SAYS "THE PISS CHICK IS GONNA PUKE" AND I WAS LIKE FUCK IT, THIS WILL BE FUNNY OR WHATEVER, I CANT NOT DO IT, CAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE ME LAME, SO I GOT DOWN ON MY BACK AGAIN AND THE CHICK THAT WAS TRYIN TO PISS, STICKS HER FINGERS DOWN HER THROUGHT AND PUKES RIGHT ON MY FACE, IT WAS 4 FULL PUKES AND EACH PUKE WAS LIKE A GALLAN OF PUKE. AFTER THE 4 TH ONE I SMELLED A BIT OF IT AND ALMOST PUKED MYSELF, BUT I HELD IT IN. I STOOD UP AND SAW A NOODLE ON MY CHEST AND I ATE IT. KEEP IN MIND THERE IS LIKE 40 PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE CLUB WATCHING AND A FEW THROUGH UP THEMSELVES JUST BY WATCHING IT. THEN !!!!! OUT OF NO WHERE MONICA COMES RUNNING OUT "I HAVE TO PISS, I HAVE TO PISS" SO I GOT BACK DOWN AND SHE PISSED THE PUKE OFF MY FACE, AT THAT TIME I DIDNT CARE CAUSE SHE WAS MINT AND I GOT TO STARE AT HER MINT GASH AS IT CAME OUT. THIS IS ALL ON VIDIO AND WELL BE ON MY DVD/MOVIE TYPE THING THIS YEAR I HOPE, SO YA GOTTA SEE THIS TO BELIEVE IT, ITS REALY FUNNY AND DISTURBING.



The Mic:Who is the bands musical influence?

WELL WE KINDA WENT THROUGH THAT THE INFLUENCE COMES MORE FROM THE LIFE I HAVE LIVED AND SHIT THAT I HAVE SEEN OR DONE JUST BY LIVING MY LIFE IN GENERAL. IVE SET MYSELF UP TO BE IN A POISION THAT I CAN DO THE THINGS I DO, GO ON TOUR, GO TO PARTYS, SHOWS, ECT, BY NOT SETTLING DOWN AT A YOUNG AGE OUR AGE IM AT, BY GOING THE MARRIED WITH CHILDERN ROUTE.

THERES ONLY SO MANY ROUTES TO TAKE IN LIFE AND IM JUST GLAD IM SAFE, HAVIN FUN, AND HAVE ESCAPED DEATH ONCE BY LIVING THROUGH GETTING SHOT DIRECTLY IN THE HEAD IN L.A. IN 1992 AND HAVING THE SUPPORT FROM MY CLOSE FRIENDS, BAND MATES, AND BANDS THAT HAVE DONE SO MUCH TO HELP AND WE TRY TO DO THE SAME. ITS THE PATH I CHOSE AND IM RIDIN IT OUT. IT HASNT BEEN GLORIUS BUT FOR THE MOST PART THE HARD WORK HAS PAYED OFF AND IS STILL PAYING OFF AND IM STILL HAVIN FUN 80 PERCENT OF THE TIME. YOU TALKED TO MARRIED DUDES WITH KIDS AND WIFES AND ASK THEM WHAT THERE % OF FUN IS.





The Mic:How did the band get together?

KNDA COVERD THAT WITH GETTING THE GUYS FROM SLAPJAW TO PLAY MY SONGS AND RECORD AND DO A FEW SHOWS, STARTED OUT IN JEANS AND T-SHIRTS THEN WHEN PEOPLE STARTED TAKING NOTICE I JUST KEPT STEPPIN IT UP A BIT AND THE GUYS FROM SLAPJAW COULDNT TOUR SO THATS WHEN I GOT THE GUYS FROM DILLINGER ON BOARD. THEN DILLINGER HAD 2 YEARS OF TOURING TO DO SO I HAD TO PUT TOGETHER A BAND. TOOK A WHILE AND THEN IT HIT ME MY 2 FRIENDS TERRY AND RICH FROM A BAND CALLED ANGER, WHO ARE STILL AROUND, AND THE OLD MIND ERASER DRUMMER ROB PALOTTA, WHO I WAS ALSO IN A BAND CALLED TICKLE T WITH 1997-1998. WE TOURED DIY WITH THAT LINE UP FOR 5 YEARS. THEN LAST YEAR TERRY "BABY WIPES" AND ROB "GRANDPA" RETIRED FROM SHAT TO FOCUS ON THERE OWN THINGS , TERRY WITH ANGER AND ROB NOW WITH THE METAL BEE GEES TRIBUTE "TRAGITY". ROB FOUND DRUMMER PETE " BABY SPINACH" DRUMMER OF 25 TA LIFE AND HIS OWN BAND CRIME LAB, ON CREIGS LIST. I WENT TO SEE CRIME LAB AND MET PETE AND TOLD HIM HES IN, THAT NIGHT I ASKED THERE GUITAR PLAYER GREG IF HE WANTED TO COME ON TOUR AND HE SAID YEA. KEEP IN MIND THIS IS 3 WEEKS BEFORE MY 40 DAY IN A ROW TOUR STARTS. I WAS SHITTIN, THOUGHT I MAY HAVE TO CANCIL THE WHOLE TOUR. THESE GUYS LEARNED 30 SONGS IN 4 PRACTICES OUR 5 TH PRACTICE TOGETHER AND 5 TH TIME WE EVER MEET EACH OTHER, WAS OUR FIRST DAY OF TOUR, THATS HOW CLOSE IT WAS. COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASSTER CUASE RICH "BABY FAT" WHO REMAINS ON BASS FOR 7 YEARS NOW, AND I BARLY NEW THERE GUYS. BUT IT WORKED AND WE KILLED IT. IT WAS A GOOD TOUR. GREG WENT ON TO JOIN A BAND CALLED RUIN AND I HAD TO FIND OTHER GUY AGAIN FOR THIS PAST TOUR AND JUST PUT SOME BULLATINS UP ON MYSPACE AND SPREAD THE WORD ON THE SCEAN AND DAVE "BABY JESUS" LONG TIME FRIEND ON THE LOCAL NJ SCEAN CONTACTED ME. I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THIS GUY PLAYED GUITAR AND IVE HUNG OUT WITH HIM FOR 10 YEARS. ANYWAY DAVE CAN PLAY, AND HES TOTALY ON BOARD AND WE ARE ALL IN A POSITION WARE WE CAN DROP EVERYTHING AND GO ON TOUR FOR HOWEVER LONG WHEN THE OPERTUNITY COMES. FOR NOW WE ALL DO SEANONAL WORK, GET LAIED OFF AND COLLECT DURING WINTER MONTHER, AND TOUR EVERY YEAR AT THE SAME TIME FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS FEB/MAR. UNTIL SOMTHING BIGGER COMES ALONG AND IT WILL.



The Mic:What is your musical background like?

BACK GROUND ? LIKE ELEVATORE MUSIC ?

I DUN O IM SURE EVERYONE THAT LISTES TO SHAT AND USES SHATS MUSIC IN THERE LIVES DOES IT DIFFERENT WAYS. I HEAR STORIES ALL THE TIME ABOUT FANS AND WHERE THEY WERE WHEN THEY HEARD THIS SONG OR PLAYED THIS SONG FOR THIS ONE YADA YADA YADA. BUT YES MY FORMULY IS QUICK CHORUS AND OUT OR VIRSE CHOES QUICKLY , ALL THE GOOD PARTS THEN DONE, NO FILLER TO MAKE IT 4 MINS. OR RADIO FRIENDLY OR ACCEPTED BY THE NORMAL EAR. IF YOU WANT TO USE A SHAT SONG IN A BACKGROUND JUST SEND ME A CHECK AND DO WHATEVER THE HELL YA WANT. BUT THERES 65 SONGS ON "THE BEST OF-THE CUNT CRONICALS" AND 69 ON "CUNTREE" SO IM HOPING THAT THE LISTENER CAN RELATE TO AT LEAST ONE OF THE , WAIT WHATS 65 + 69 ?,,, SONGS THAT I HAVE.



The Mic:Any other members in your family that are
musicians?

NO I WAS ADOPTED. I WAS ORDERD A YEAR BEFORE I WAS BORN. MY SISTER WAS ADOPTED TOO. I BLESS MY PARENTS FOR GIVING ME UP AND THE PARENTS THAT RASED ME IN A WONDERFUL HOME. MY HOMELIFE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SHAT. SHAT IS THE BLESSING THAT WAS CREATED WHEN I WAS LET OUT INTO THE WORLD. SHAT IS NOT ALOWED IN THE HOUSE. MY PARENTS RESPECTED THAT I WANTED TO BE A MUSICIAN AND PUT ME THROUGH MUSIC SCHOOL IN L.A. FROM 1988 TO 1992 AND SUPORT ME IN THAT WAY, BUT THEY DO NOT SUPPORT THE BAND SHAT, BUT THATS O.K. THEY SUPPORT ME.

LIKE WHEN BRITNEY SPEIRS LAWERS SENT MY FATHER AND I A SCEAST AND DISISSED LETTER CAUSE I USED BRITNYS FACE ON THE CUNT FALVORED LOLLI POPS C.D. COVER OF HERE HOLDING A LOLLI POP WITH A SPRAD WIDE SPANISH CUNT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. I GUESS THE EAST COAST ROCKER REVIEWED THE C.D. AND PUT THE PIC IN THERE, BRITNYS LAWERS SAW IT THAT WERE PISSED, SO WERE MY PARENTS, I DIDNT KNOW HAT I SHOULDNT PUT MY PARENTS ADRESS ON THE C.D. AT THE TIME, I WAS LIVING THERE.



The Mic:What is the TOP reason why you want to play
music?

I DINT KNOW. I JUST DO. ITS PRETTY MUCH ALL I KNOW, ITS JUST WHAT I DO, I FEEL PROGRAMMED TO IT. THE ONLY OTHER WAY I WOULD KNOW IN MY HEART WOULD BE WIFE , KIDS, DOG, HOUSE WITH FENCE POOL, MABEY SOMEDAY.

DEFFENATLY NOT B ACCIDENT.


The Mic:what's your stance on file swapping?

IS THAT LIKE WIFE SWAPPING ? I'M DOWN.


The Mic:what is the process of making a cd?

EXPERIANCE THINGS IN LIFE, SING A MELODY TO THE WORDS THAT DISCRIBE THAT EXPERIANCE INTO MINI RECORDER, TEACH MYSELF THE RIFF, BRING TO PRACTICE AND TEACH AND FINE TUNE ARRANGMENT.


The Mic:how do you get the word out about your music?

TOUR, TOUR SHOWS, TOUR.

TOURING IS THE WAY. BUT WE HAVE HAD OTHER HELP

THROUGH A SMALL LABLE CALLED BUDDYHEAD RECORDS OUT OF L.A.
