LittleBook: Why did you start a band??
Deeper: cuz Ozzy made us.
LB: How did you find each other??
D: match. com and speed dating.
LB: What's your most memorable moment as a band??
D: We were @ kimos and tried out a new song. we started it over 3 frekkin times because we kept gettin it wrong. And when we finally got it...the crowd just loved that we fucked up and made up for it!!! we were so frekkin frustrated, but the finish was like whip creme. ahhhh.
LB: Favorite pre / post show; food, indulgence or ritual??
D: We like to starve ourselves before any show so we have that emaciated look that all the kids are into these days. it's all for the kids. After the show, there's always a bummed cigarette or two for Kristy whose trying to quit...bob will usually get stoned....and Eric chuggs some beer (generally tecate) and we'll stare speechlessly at eachother and realize that if the 3 of us were 1 person....we'd make a pretty cool being.
LB: What do you drink at practice??
BOB-H2o.

BOB-H2o.
Eric-Tecate in a brown bag.
Kristy-H2o and coffee (occasionally simultaneously)
LB: What's the hardest thing about being a Band in the Bay Area??
D: Lots of bad drivers here that wanna run us over continuously. like when we're loading in gear ..people go out of their way to run us over and shit. I don't get it.
LB: What do you want people to know about your band, what are you doing next??
D: We're gonna continue to play out and record this fall. Also, We want YOU to know that Kristy is really NOT from Korea, purchased from Korea, or borrowed from Korea. so many of you peg her for being Korean because of her defined cheekbones. She is 1/2 Japanese & 1/2 English. Eric is the one purchased from Korea. although he looks a bit Nordic. And Bob is NOT black-he just has a horriffic natural fro when he lets it grow out. DON't LISTEN TO THE RUMORS,....I'm tellin you the truth right now!
LB: What's up with your CD where can I get it, where did you record it??
D: We have an 4 song EP available to purchase for $5 on Kunaki through the link on myspace: www. myspace. com/deepermusic The EP/CD was recorded at shakesound recording in Emeryville. Jeff Bowron owns the place & its a small shop, but we really wanted to support our local recording studio....they're the ones really struggling with everyone having their "do it your own" kits. JB really extended his services and went above & beyond what we could afford. He's also a huge fan after working so closely with us.
LB: Favorite Bay Area Band or a memorable show??
D: Mamatus @ the Hemlock was pretty far out....those guyz fucking output some heavy shit! Triple Cobra always puts on an amazing production heavy shows. Most Memorable tho was when we played with Puppies & Ponies @ the Utah. Ollie was SO hammered & on mass narcotics....he basically fucked up all his equipment into the 2nd song, broke everything on stage....combusted and QUIT. It was like being face raped by a tornado. We were like in total awe of his caos. I think he's in rehab somewhere on the East Coast. Bless his soul.
LB: Favorite venue to Play??
D: Anywhere that has a decent PA. Hell. We'd play in your bathtub if we'd fit. Acoustics in a bathroom always amaze me.
LB: Have you ever played the stork club Before?? What do you like about it??
D: The STORK ROCKS. We've played there several times in the past and it's always barbie-liscious awesome. Sound is always bueno...folks @the club are hospitable...vibe is condusive to what we do as a rock band. The place has edge. its a well greased monkey that we like to feed.
LB: Do any of the members ever take their shirts off at a show or at practice??
D: No. But Bob & Eric always want to. I don't think you'd want THEM to. They're Ron Burgundy harry. Like ape men. They'd really have to plan a wax first before I'd allow that shit.
LB: Who's the smelliest member after a sweaty gig??
D: Me. Kristy-but the smell is sweet like cotton candy like. it's not bad at all. most guys dig it & don't mind. Eric is strange. he gets ueber sweaty-but does not stink. There's something not right about him. BOB smells like the ocean. He surfs, so he's saturated with salt...which seeps from his pores when he sweats....thus his name "salty dog". We occasionally cook a good paellia after a show seasoned with Bob's body salt.
LB: Where do you think live music is heading??
D: I hope somewhere good. Live music must continue to exist....Fans need to connect with artists. It sheds reality and solidity to the emotions that are triggered when they have the "experience" of seeing a band live. We live in a world today where we're so taught to not feel and replace those emotions with something other than the obvious. Like it's wrong to feel. Music allows us to feel together...and be ok about it..like you are NOT a freak or pussy for banging your head to something rad, or feeling a bit reflective when there's something heavy...live music brings strangers closer on common grounds. It can end disconnect. And in full circle...we as artists need to connect with our fans too. Regardless if its 20 fans, 5 fans, 1 fan. ....and for Deeper, it brings meaning to what we do. Thanks for supporting the local music scene, yo!
LB: How do you feel about people downloading your songs for free , do you offer free downloads??
D: Here's my take. if someone wants your music without paying for it.....they WILL FIND A WAY to get it. We don't have free downloads available....BUT if you are at one of my shows-and want a fucking CD......and can't afford the $5...I'll GIVE IT TO YOU!!!. I want you listening to Deeper if you dig it. Burn it for your friends. Share it. Give it away to someone else.... free downloads are a natural evolution for where we are in time and technology. I say don't fuck with nature....but then again....If I were making a shit load of $$ off my music-it would then hold significant weight. So right now. I'm poor. We ain't rich. And the economy has us all by the balls. Or your job by the balls. Here's the pitch: come out and let us ROCK YOUR FUCKING HEARTS OUT....and FORGET ABOUT IT ALL FOR a few hours. WE WANT YOU.
