SKATERS (New York City)
What’s your favorite NYC memory?
One day when I was 18 I was walking down Leonard st near the old knitting factory, with my friends Richard and Mikey. Mikey went to buy his 5th ice cream of the day and we saw this dude getting out of a car. It was Lou Reed. He had on a tie dye shirt on and a cast on his right arm. He greeted us with a tip of the hat “fellas” We must have looked like such goons just staring with our jaws at our feet. Mikey came out of the shop and perhaps a little too stoned said “who’s that old guy you were talking to?” Lou hears this and laughs as he walks away down Leonard st. That’s one of my most vivid New York memories.
If you could ask André 3000 one question, what would it be?
Would it be copyright infringement if I changed my name to Andre 3000? Maybe 3001?
What are some tips you have for festival goers?
Try and get as drunk stoned and dehydrated as early in the day as possible then stand front row in the sun all day and don’t use sunscreen or drink water or else you’re a pussy!!
Tell me about the most awkward gig experience you’ve ever had.
We once had some dick doing the worm during our show in Cornwall. Luckily a girl had just puked on the floor and he ended up with sick all over himself. What a wanker. #karma
