A question is
asked about what gigs the band have had a chance to go to, studio
and touring commitments have left them little time to watch
other bands.
"We went for Sizzla big time," states Master D "He's
a Jamaican artist who mixes reggae with ragga."
Chandrasonic saw Alabama 3 last week. An inquisitive Pandit
G asked what were they like? "It's an idea you might have
when you're really stoned and you'll forget about in the morning
only they remembered". He begins to reinact his own interpretation
of how the band formed in a stereotypical stoned manner. "Wouldn't
it be a great idea right, to have a southern American preacher
and lets get him up in a cowboy hat and we'll get him to go
on about stuff in a south American preacher accent and we'll
do it over 410 beats per minute fall to the floor. We'll bump
some alloys on it that will be a laugh won't it?"
"Is it big beat in style?" asks Pandit G.
"No, no it's like Transglobal," starts Chandrasonic
he then imitates the guitar sounds and then breaks into a southern
American preacher accent. "Okay all you people out there
I'm going to tell you about this here revolution, this is the
church, the Elvis Presley church." He drops the accent.
"It's too pretentious for me."
Pandit's questioning continues "How many are there?"
"A lot of them actually, twelve I think..
"So why are they called Alabama 3 then?"
"Maybe it's the third time they formed it," injects
Master D.
"I had a lot of ideas for bands like that," begins
Chandrasonic "thousands in fact lucky though I forgot them
all." The room erupts with laughter.
Did the band get up to much mischief on the recent NME tour?
"Yeah we did," laughs Chandrasonic. "We dared
to have jungle and bass lines on an indie tour. We're the naughtiest
band in the world. No one really got up to any mischief on the
Brat tour all the journalists just stood in the corner and told
everyone that they did.
