INTERVIEW WITH OLAF STAGE BOTTLES

1. Hello guys, could you tell us about your band's history?

The Stage Bottles were formed in 1993. I’m theonly original member left in the band.
The first line up also included a female singer, Manu. Manu left the band in 1999. After that it was just me singing(before me an Manu were singing). But I continued playing the saxophone, ofcourse. So Stage Bottles still had and have a special sound comparing to the majority of other Punkrock- and Oi!bands. We played a few hundred gigs in Europe and did a tour in Canada a few years ago.
We already released 6 albums and several 7’’.And we took part on many compilations worldwide.

2. Is there any meaning to your band name?

That’s a difficult thing to explain in English.Our first bass-player, Eric, suggested to call the band “freebeers” in germanlangaguage (“Feibier”). So many people would come to our gigs ‘cause they’dexpect beers for free. We had English lyrics right from the start so I suggested to use an English name. In german you can call a person “bottles”. It means kind of the person is a loser. So I suggested “Stage Bottles”. The loserson stage.

3. are politics your musical influence? are you left wing band?

Yes, we are a leftwing band. We were very much influenced by bands like Blaggers ITA, The Oppressed, Angelic Upstarts, TheNewtown Neurotics, Kortatu and many other political leftwing-bands especially from England. We’re also influenced by classic Streetpunk-bands like Cocksparrer, The Cockney Rejects, The 4 Skins, The Last Resort and so on, ofcourse. But we always wanted to make a political stand. We’re part of asubculture. And being part of a subculture like Punk or Skinhead alwaysincludes a critical attitude to the mainstream-society. Punk and Skinhead can’t survive in rightwing-system and shouldn’t try to. And everyone from everywhere is welcome to join it. We are a product of the capitalistic society. But we are completely different and we don’t want to adapt. And that’s why we are against it. Otherwise we would be normal people heading for economical success and being racists for chucking out others for that they’re not taking our money.That’s not the way the Stage Bottles want to be. And that’s what we talk about and that’s what we fight against.

4. do you have a new album?

Yes. It was released last month on Mad Butcher Records. It’s called “power for revenge”.

5. what do you think about un-poltical bands and right wing bands?

There are bands existing who call themselves “non-political” but the way they act is okay. They make a stand against rightwing and racism without being anti-leftwing.
Some bands call themselves “a-political”. Theydo politics with telling people not to be political. At the end they tell people to adapt to the mainstream-society. Being a Skinhead or Punk is just anexcuse for drinking and having fights. Most of them are stupid and don’t understand dynamics in society and even not in their scene. The problem is:They are fucking useless.
Right wing-bands are bullshit and the real enemy. They want to destroy most parts of the human being including people likeus and people who come from somewhere else. They want to take freedom from many good people. They’ve got nothing in common with our scene. We are fighting for freedom.

6. besides the band, what do you guys do?

I’m a social worker, Kimba (bass) aswell,Marcel (guitar) is working in an office, Olaf No. 2 (drums) is anmotorbike.mechanic, and Slavko is working at a school.

7. Have you had any trouble with the police?

Well, we got contacted by the police as a band a few times ‘cause we were involved into concerts where fights happened. Personally I think we all had problems with the police yet. Some of us more,others less and for different reasons.

8. how is your punks/skins scene right now?

In Germany the scene is very big. But I’d not say it’s a homogen scene. There are many discussions about politics. Even in between non-racists. But you can see nearly every band in Germany you want to see. From all over the world. There many alternative places where good events are happening. Football also matters. And football is big in Germany. So part sof the Skinheads, Hooligans, Punks, Psychobillys and so on are all together.But it’s more like an entertainment-scene at the moment, I think. It was better a few years ago.


9. new flag, what does it mean?

It seems there is no political alternative to capitalism at the moment. The idea of a socialism kind of died with the Stalinism. It’s good that Stalinism is gone. But the problems are still the same. And we all are concerned in a globalised world. Have a look at the financial crisis one year ago. Our system worldwide still continues to makerich people more rich and the poor more poor. Freedom in this system just means the freedom to be allowed to get as rich as you can. So we need a new flag to build power against this kind of selfishness. And everybody should know what this flag stands for. The red flag was a strong symbol, but it was misused manytimes. So many people would never follow it. That’s understandable but also the result of Stalinism and conservative propaganda.

10. do you have any plans to play to south east Asia, including Indonesia?

If you’re going to pay it, yes, but I think you can’t. We are not a big band. And we’re not rich people, so we can’t pay the journey ourselves. We don’t even know if we’re big enough for people turning upat our gigs. There are obviously some people interested in to the Stage Bottlesin Asia. But enough people for doing gigs? I don’t know…

11. do you have any comments for webculturezine?

Dear readers: If you’ve got anymore questions just ask: olaf@stagebottles.de.
We’d love to come to Indonesia. We heard you’ve got a big scene. So collect money to pay our flights, food and drinks (is beer allowed in your country?), tell us one year before and we’ll come over!

Cheers

Olaf and the Stage Bottles

INTERVIEW WITH BAD MANNERS

Hey Readers check this out!!! An interview with the one and only Buster Bloodvessel himself from the legendary Bad Manners!

1. could you tell us your bands history?
Buster: Bad Manners started in 1975 at school and the first live performance was at Stonehenge festival. As I really need to go to prison to write the book, I'm not sure how much history I can give you.

2. who plays in the Bad Manners now?
Buster: The American version is Buster Bloodvessel, Lee on bass, Justino on drums, Jake on guitar, Pablo Fiasco on keyboards, Matt on saxophone, Josue on trumpet and Jonny on trombone. In the UK, the band is: Buster, Lee on bass, Bingo on drums, Leroy on guitar, Ross on keyboards, Treackle and AIDS on saxophone, Colin on trumpet, Dave on trombone, Russell on congas.

3. do you have a new album?
Buster: I have been working on other projects, so I have put Bad Manners on the back burner, but I promise to have the new album out for next year. Also we are going to re-release quite a lot of old classics that have never seen the light of day on CD.

4. besides the band, what do you guys do?
Buster: Masturbate. Sometimes we eat, sometimes we drink.

5.do you have any plans to play in Asia, or Indonesia especially?
Buster: No, we would love to have some sort of contact there. Maybe you could help us by introducing us to some promoters! I remember a few years ago, signing a lot of stuff that was destined for Indonesia. So I know we have fans waiting for us to come.

6. do you have a 'best gig' experience? If so where was it?
Buster: Making 110,000 people dance in a crazy way - enough to make the trees dance with them. That was in Rotterdam at a big festival.

7. what do you think about racism and fascism in the scene?
Buster: I've never agreed with racism and I think there a lot of misconceptions of people in our scene that would even contemplate such a thing. I think ska stands up for itself and states what side of the fence you are on.

8. we heard your song called “skinhead love affair”, and "lip up fatty", are they your original songs? and what does 'lip up fatty' mean?
Buster: They are my original songs. "Lip Up Fatty" was an expression used at our school to tell people to shut up.


9.if you were to cover a song, which song would you want to cover?
Buster: "From a Jack to a King" or "Gossip Calypso".

10. how is your punk, rudeboy and skin scene right now?
Buster: Absolutely fabulous! And next year, I hope to host ska/punk/oi festivals in London.

11. Do you have a comment for webculturezine and for webculturezine readers?
Buster: Keep supporting Two Tone and ska in general!

Special thanks to Matt Mason for conducting the interview!

INTERVIEW WITH DAVE (EX PLAYER OF THE WARRIORS)

1. After joining The Warriors, what do you think about the whole experience?

- I was glad to be asked by Saxby to join as their guitarist, it was a slow start but we all got there in the end. It was a great experience! loved every second of it.

2. What is your favorite Warrior's song?

- The Last Resort, John Fila, Predater, Working Class Kids.

3. Who are your favorite bands?

- Slayer, Black Sabbath, Pantera, ACDC, Led Zeppling, Hendrix, Soulfly, Machine Head, SORB, anything were the guitar is out front basically.

4. Why did you leave The Warriors?

- I had to leave The Warriors; I moved to far away, my wife got a great new job as a scientist. I technically have not left The Warriors, if they are stuck for a guitar player for what ever reason; they know they can give me a call anytime to help out.

5. Do you have plans to join another band in your new city?

- Yes I do sooner the better, I am in the process of checking out the music scene here, lets see what Swindon has to offer.

6. Do you have any favorite experiences at a gig? If you do could you tell us, what, when and where they were ?

- Punk & Disorderly in Berlin was fantastic, the venue, the fans, the organisation was the best. Rebellion at Blackpool was good also because this was my last gig with The Warriors as their permanant guitarist.

7. Do you have any comments on the UK punk and skins scene?

- Yes I do! Unite The Scene. There is little or no money in the UK to put gigs on, no one really can afford it, less is more if you understand that philosophy. Rebellion is the daddy of all gigs in the UK. Europe has the right idea especially Germany they seem to still like lots of gigs and they love English bands so there is plenty of opportunities to play in the EU if your an English band.

8. And the last question, do you have any comments for webculturezine readers?

- Yes sure, be awesome to eachother. What ever it is you do in life, career or hobby; do it to the best of your ability, never, never, give up on the things that make you happy.

INTERVIEW WITH VICIOUS RUMOURS

1. could you tell us your band's history?

Vicious Rumours formed in 1979, we've had a few changes in musical direction aswell as members over the years,
as do most bands Over such a long a long period of time,
during the early eighties we were involved in the oi! scene that swept through Britain and europe
either supporting the major bands of the time... BUSINESS, 4SKINS, PATTTB, ANGELIC UPSTARTS etc
or headlining gigs with the 'second wave' of oi bands that emerged.
We stopped playing in 1988 after 'the main event' gig at the astoria due to
being disillusioned with what was happening at the gigs, (fighting, politics, etc) It stopped being fun.
We got together again in 2000 briefly, with shows around europe and the USA. However due to us all being in different countries by then it was
almost impossible to continue as we wanted. John M did some shows and recording in the USA in the early 2000's
We have recently decided to Get together again, well, as much as we can. And look foward to concerts and recordings starting in December this year

2. who plays in the band now?

John Mundy...guitar vocals, John Coupé...bass Vocs, Danny Shoobert....Drums.
We will be using another guitarist for shows.

3. do you have a new album?

Farticus will be released in the summer, It's a collection of demos,
and recorded songs that were previously only available in the USA

4. besides the band, what do you guys do?

John M is a personal trainer, and runs his own business in TEXAS, Dan runs a scaffolding firm,
And I am a builder/decorator

5. Do you have any plans to play in Asia, or Indonesia especially?

We've never been approached to play there, but if someone was to offer us a tour or something then
absolutely! I love to travel, and if we can do it with the band then even better!

6. we heard your song called “one thing's on our minds”, what is it about?

It's a song about only ever thinking about women and sex!
No matter what time of day, or situation.
a lighthearted look at the male's constant thoughts towards fornication!
Apparently men think of it every 3 minutes or something?
.....we think of it about every 3 seconds!

7. if you were to cover a song, which song would you want to cover?

We have done a few covers in our live shows over the years,
Bad Man by the cockney rejects,
If the kids are united by sham 69
Chip on my shoulder by cock sparrer
I'd like to record versions of some of my favourite songs, as a tribute
for the love of OI! by section 5
True punk and oi! will never die by resistance 77
outlaw by chron gen to name a few, there's a lot more!

8. what do you think about racism?

I don't agree with it, but we don't dicuss politics. There's too many idiots out there who
want to label us one thing or another

9. and how is your punk and skins scene right now?

Where I live it's a very small scene, but I live in a small town.
London, however is becoming good again, with lots of concerts happening

10. Have you had any trouble with the police?

As a band? not really, we never had reason to get involved with the police
we were escorted from gigs before after crowd trouble at a few gigs
It's not something we either sung about or were involved in
Violence is pretty pointless.

11. Do you have a comment for webculturezine and for webculturezine readers?

Thanks for the interest in the band,
It's nice to hear from people in countries that we know very little about their 'scene'
Especially nowdays, the internet has opened up a whole new world
Thanks a lot

And these are our questions:

Hello! Thanx a lot for your interest and questions!

We plan to go to UK in December

2.What does your band's name mean? Is there a history behind it?

- The name came after first rehearsal in March 2001, we decided to play the beat like devils are doing in hell - and so it went out like that!

3.We got your cd album called “ Second Date”, what does it mean? Is there a story behind that?

- Second album - is like a second date with a girl - we've put a story on the last page of booklet about that. The boy - is the band, and the girl is the audience - actually it's just for fun, and no real serious concept in it!


4.Who are the players right now?

- Mike Bogdanov on the double bass and backing vox, Andy Lougovoy on the guitar and lead vox, Teo Nikolaev on the drums

5.Any new albums?

- We plan to release a new album in the end of this year. The songs are ready, but the title of the album is in process

6.If you were to cover a song, which song would you want to cover and why?

- We are doing a lot of covers of our favourite old-school psycho bands and also doing some funny remakes of non-billy bands. I like our covers of Batmobile - Mad At You, Sharks - Hooker, Blue Cats - Heaven's Gate

But there bands in other towns of Russia & Ukraine as well. A lot of new people are interested in the music, though the scene is young. About your second questions - here - like everywhere in the world - many people are coming to the concerts with different social and political views - but we don't mix politics with music - and so does the audience. There are no problems with that here.

9.Is there a 'best gig' you've had? When and where was it?

- Every new gig is the best for us actually - fresh impressions and drive! We can remeber the bright moments - when we played at Pineda Psychobilly Festival in 2009 - it was out first European gig!

INTERVIEW WITH MAJOR ACCIDENT

Hello Droogs, This Time Webculturezine had a chance to interview With Major Accident.
So check this out:

1.First of all, could you tell us about your band? When was
it formed?

- The band was formed in 1977 at the time of the first wave punk music in Britain.

2. Who are in the lineup?

- The current line up is Paul Larkin Vocals, Con Larkin bass, Laze drums, Ian guitar and Andy guitar. Paul and Con are now the only remaining members from the original line up.

3. As a band, who/what are your influences?

- In the beginning it was probably the clash. Paul bought the Clash’s first album and had gotten together with original guitarist Dave Hammond with the idea to form a band and when Con heard the album he decided that he wanted to play too.

4. Does the band's name have a meaning?

- There is no meaning to the band name but there is quite a funny story to how the name happened. It goes something like this: After many weeks of trying to make music, much to the amusement of Paul’s father, he said to Paul “so Paul what are you going to call this great band of yours”? Paul replied “Accident” Paul’s father paused for a moment and replied” Accident more like Major Accident” which was a reference to the noise that they were making at the time as it was so bad and that was how the name Major Accident came to be.

5. How many albums does the band have?

- There are 7 albums by the band:

Massacred Melodies.

A clockwork legion.

Tortured tunes which is a live album.

Pneumatic Pneurosis which is a compilation of the bands singles.

Crazy.

The ultimate high.

Cry of the legion which is a split album with Foreign legion.

6. Please describe the sound of your band to those who are not familiar with
you guys.

- We are a very loud and fast punk band.

7. Can you tell us about the album called massacred melodies? Are there any important messages behind
it?

- Massacred melodies is very much an album that was about the time we were living in and what was happening at that time. Some of the songs are about what we did and what happened to us where as other songs were about events that happened in the country. A good example of this is brides of the beast that was loosely based on the notorious Yorkshire ripper, this man found fame by killing prostitutes in various evil ways.

8. Tell us about the scene over there

- The scene over here apart from big festivals like rebellion is very much underground now but it still exists which is a good thing. There are a lot of bands in the UK playing some very fine punk rock that deserve to be doing a lot better than they actually are and also deserve to be heard but are not. So in one way the scene is good because it still exists and they are still good bands to see but it’s also not good the gigs are not as big as they once were.

9. How many gigs has the band had? Tell us about the best and the worst gig
you've played.

- There have been too many gigs to give an honest account of how many we have actually played but there has been a lot. The best gig was probably during the American tour of the east coast but we also had a great time in Germany and there were good memories in France too. The worst gig was probably Belgium during the ultimate high tour when after getting five songs into the set the gig had to be stopped after a big fight broke out. We never got to finish the show and were very disheartened afterwards.

10. Have you had any problems organising gigs there?

- We don’t organise gigs anymore, we have somebody who does that for us. This is good for us as it fits around what we do outside of the band. This means we can pick and choose what we do and when we do it.

11. Have you guys ever been invited to play abroad? Which countries do you guys
want to visit?

- As mentioned earlier we have played America, Germany, France and Belgium and we have also been to Poland and the Czech Republic and we were invited to play in France last December which we did.

Further to this we have had offers to play Spain and Italy and we are hoping to go back to America in the future.

12. Have you heard about The Indonesian skinhead/punk scene? Any plans to play in south East Asia especially Indonesia?

- We know the scene exists in Asia and did receive an offer to play Japan several years ago but due to various reasons beyond our control it never happened.

13. What record label is the band signed to?

- The band are not currently signed to a label but Captain Oi carry all our previous releases with the next one to released being the ultimate high and cry of the legion.

14. What are the bands short term and long term plans?

- We are just having a good time at the moment but we do hope to go back to America very soon and possibly even record some more songs.

15. How can we contact MAJOR ACCIDENT? Do you guys have a website or an email
address?

- We do have a website but it has not been updated for years so the best way of contacting us is via our MySpace site as this has all the latest up to date information about the band and what they are doing.

16. Do you have any comments for webculture zine?
WEBCULTUREZINE

- Thanks for your interest and good luck with the webzine....

INTERVIEW WITH YUNG (LAWEN STARK and SLIDE BOPPERS) upright bass player

1. How are you connected with the Jakarta scene? Did you have friends here already?

- Well, I have a friend that I met through my band's myspace profile called Tri aka Enji from Bintaro, so we kept contact and shared our music interests. Then we met in August 2009 and now in 2010 as well. He showed me around and took me to lots of Ska and Oi concerts.

2. You play rockabilly, do you like Ska and Oi! also? What do you think of the Jakarta Oi! And Ska bands?

I always had a big passion for Ska and Oi! because I used to be a skinhead in Belgium as well. I must say, the bands that I saw here are all bands of super quality!!! What I like is traditional music, so I really dig that the Jakarta bands keep the music traditional. Not only are the Ska bands great quality but the Oi bands are as well. They always offer a wild concert with lots of energy and I love the crowd going wild and singing along to the songs.

3. When will Lawen Stark and Slide Boppers make a new album?

When I return to Belgium, we are planning to record our first album. About time!! hahaha! We played around all over Europe already for 4 years now without any album so we were kinda lucky...

4. Do you have plans to play in Indonesia with your band soon?

- Well, I definitely would like to come and play in Indonesia haha.

5. I heard there's Indonesian musicians and some bands from Indonesia that are really famous in Europe, is that true?

In Europe, especially the Netherlands, of course, Indo Rock was pretty famous in the 50s and 60s. Indo Rock is a name they gave to Indonesian bands playing Rock 'n' Roll or Surf. One of my favorite bands is The Tielman Brothers. Concerning James Intveld: He is a really famous singer/song writer that comes from holland but moved to the United States. Both his parents come from Indonesia as well. He is the man behind the "Cry Baby" Soundtrack, a movie starring Johnny Depp

6. Do you have any comments for this webculturezine?

- Well, the only thing I can say is, continue what you are doing!! It's damn great hahahah!! I have a ball everytime I go to a concert here

7. Could you please tell us a little bit about your family also?

- My parents are Chinese Indonesian but they moved to Belgium to study and they stayed there. I was born in Belgium but I feel really close to Indonesia and I would like to come and live and work in Jakarta haha!

INTERVIEW TO REAL McKENZIES

Hi, nice to meet you again. This time I will interview to the band called Real Mckenzies

- Who are the members of Real McKenzies?

1. Paul McKenzie, Karl Alvarez, Mark (The Bone) Boland, Dave Gregg, Matt MacNasty, (Dirty) Kurt Robertson, Sean Sellers, Gord Taylor

- When was the band formed?

2. Various reports indicate different dates, but I think 1992 is the answer to your question.

- What are your activities (other than the band)?

3. Drinking, drugs, sex, rock and roll...wait...that's mostly band stuff...Actually, I think 'the band' is our lives. We only have 3 weeks off between our Eurotour and Canadian tour, then after another 3 weeks, we go back to Europe. There's really no time for anything during our offdays except a little sleep and maybe some sex.

- We like the song called "Smokin' Bowl" from the album 10,000 Shots. Can you tell us a little about that song?

4. Smokin' Bowl is written based on a poem written by the Scottish poet, Robbie Burns. This song is often confused for being about drugs, but actually, the poem was originally written about a bowl of oatmeal.

- When do you plan on releasing a new album?

5. We have a new acoustic album coming and DVD coming out in 2010. The acoustic album is called 'Shine not Burn' and the DVD is called 'The Real McKenzies Love You'. Myself and Dirty Kurt are going to start writing our new electric album (Probably due for release in 2011) at the beginning of March.

- What was your best show?

6. All of our shows are our best shows! That's part of being a Real McKenzie! Every audience is different and we're the type of group that always find the most amazing times anywhere. The Real McKenzies are all about a positive attitude and having fun, and we could never say that one show was better than the other just because of how many variables there are. For example, Russia had a huge amount of fans who were absolutely wild and fun and rock and roll, but in Dusseldorf we played a laid back acoustic show for about 70 people were so intimate and awesome. We were actually talking to each and every one of them during the concert! in the coming months, we'll be playing for the St. Pauli Football Club's 100th anniversary and will be playing for 30,000 people. That will be an amazing show too for different reasons! We've heard that Indonesian fans are truly the best though, so until we play Indonesia we want to hold back our answer on what our best show was :)

- Do you have any plans on touring Southeast Asia, specifically Indonesia?

7. No. We really want to come though, but we need to find people who want to hire us, and a booking agent willing to sacrifice his or her good name in order to build us a bitchin' Southeast Asia/Indonesia tour! Do you know anyone?

- How would people be able to contact Real McKenzies?

8. People can contact the McKenzies via our website, www.realmckenzies.com, our myspace page, www.myspace.com/realmckenzies and our forum and fan page, http://z4.invisionfree.com/The_Real_McKenzies/index.php?act=idx, http://www.real-mckenzies.com/

Do you have a message for Indonesia and webculturezine?

9. Yes. WE WANT TO COME TO INDONESIA!!! IF YOU GUYS CALL WE WILL COME!!! CHECK OUT http://www.realmckenzies.com/Contact.html FOR BOOKING INFORMATION :)

Thanks for your time !

INTERVIEW WITH THE OPPRESSED (RODY MORENO)

1.How many times have you been in clash with the cops since the first time The Oppressed started?

- All the clashes back in the 80s were between our lads (the Cardiff crew) and the lads from whatever town we were playing. It was just football violence but at a gig. The police would turn up at the end and escort us back to Wales.


2. What would you do if you were to play in a gig, that was sponsored by a corporation, which funded the war, but you just found out minutes before the gig, and meanwhile your fans had been waiting for you to play?


- That's easy, I'd play the gig. Not playing would make no difference to the politics of war but it would piss off the fans.


3. Is a skinhead always trapped in a consumerism? Such as having to wear fred perry polo shirt and Dr. Martens boots. Apparently both are quite expensive, if you know what I mean.

- You don't have to wear Fred Perry or Dr Martens. Any cheap polo shirt will do. The important thing is to look sharp.


4. Many Oi and punk bands have reunited again. What do you think makes them reunite? Do you think it's factor of money, or truly their passions to rock out the world with the old and young punks and skins?

- I think it's a bit of both. Of course people want to earn some money but you've still got to love it. Even if a band only reforms for the money it's OK if they produce on stage and keep the fans happy.


5. Any last words for the Indonesian Oi! Scene?

- Always fight to keep your scene free of Fascists. Ignore them and they will steal your culture. "FUCK FASCISM BEFORE IT FUCK'S YOU".
