All of us at Allston Pudding ask a lot of questions. It’s time to turn the tables. Enter “Bands Ask, Bands Answer,” where—you guessed it—bands ask each other questions, and sometimes get an answer or two. We’re hosting a show with Out of the Blue coming up this weekend and we wanted to ask the artists some questions in preparation. Warning: these questions may, or may not, be Halloween themed???
Want some good times and pleasant tunes? We’re heading over to Cambridge to host a party with Out of the Blue Too Art Gallery featuring some rad art and some rad music, including: Salty Greyhound (FKA Brazil), Mini Dresses, Castle Danger (FKA Indian Twin), and Sports Coach. You should definitely check it out because who doesn’t love a Saturday night filled with art and music? You can find all the details on the event page.
Are you ready?

Mini Dresses: Worst Halloween costume you’ve done?
Sports Coach: Myself, I do it every year and its terrible. Almost no one likes it.
Castle Danger: If your band was a candy bar, which would it be and why?
Sports Coach: Sports Coach would probably be Kit Kat if it were a candy bar because if a giant hand picked me up it would surely snap my back in half, which would make a big cracking sound, then it would eat me. I’m also almost always covered in chocolate.
Allston Pudding: Worst thing received trick-or-treating?
Sports Coach: A hand grenade from grandma.
Allston Pudding: If the show on 10/17 turned in to a horror movie, what would happen at OOTB and who would survive?
Sports Coach: The talking dog from the movie “Up” would come in and eat all the art and then tell everyone it can fly. The dog would attempt to fly through the ceiling but it would loosen the very structure of the building. The building would then tumble to the ground and everyone would die by loss of oxygen because at the same time all the trees in the world died. The only person that would live would be those 2 goldfish OOTB has in the corner by the PA head because they don’t even need any oxygen.
Allston Pudding: Who had the worst Halloween costume (ever)?
Mini Dresses: Worst Halloween Costume Award: Lira, in high school, dressed up as Elliott Smith, complete with homemade “I </3 Metal” shirt (à la this one), and a (fake) syringe. Did I mention it was high school…?
Allston Pudding: If the show on 10/17 turned in to a horror movie, what would happen at OOTB and who would survive?
Mini Dresses: If the show turned into a horror movie, it would be like CUBE, in which the gallery morphs into a deadly booby trap-ridden Rubik’s cube, with thousands of rooms that turn and shift in any direction at any given moment, defying the laws of physics, as if by the hand of some unseen entity. As they try to escape, the show-goers start dying one by one in increasingly gruesome ways; our only salvation lies within the mind and paws of OOTB’s resident giant dog, XO, who knows how to solve the riddle of the cube…but no one knows what he’s trying to say because he’s a dog. So everyone dies. Except for XO. The end.
Sports Coach: Are you my real dad?
Castle Danger: We can’t remember birthing you exactly, but we think we saw you cross the drawbridge over the moat and head for distant hills some time ago, so maybe, who knows?
*** When presented with a question, Salty Greyhound simply responded with “Yes.”
Come out to OOTB this Saturday Oct. 17th for some good times and pleasant tunes!
