Inger Lorre!!
Well, we moved out here from New Jersey as a four piece band and then two members got scared and went back. So me and Bobby found replacements; Alex from Canada, Geoff from Southern California, and Rob, Rob Graves, who was in 45 Grave. Rob is in Thelonius Monster but he's playing with us in all of our shows.
HIP: What's all this talk we here about you guys mooning Bono?
We were on a break while recording a demo at A & M. Alex was walking out of the bathroom when Geoff mooned Alex, grabbed his cock and like did a really grotesque gesture. At that time Bono(U2) was walking down the hall, he saw what Geoff did, got really mad and called the head of A & M which is Herb Alpert. He was told that we were all drunk, having an orgy, and running down the halls naked. It got really exagerated. They thought that we were totally insane and kicked us out.
HIP: Not to change the subject but what about touring? What's on the agenda?
We're going to tour with Soundgarden pretty soon but right now we're touring with Soul Asylum. We're going up the coast with Soul Asylum and on the way back we're hooking up with Soundgarden. Soundgarden is really intense. Like the Butthole Surfers are a Sabbath psychedelia, Soundgarden is a Zeppellin psychedelia. They're both super, super-heavy.
HIP: What kind of sound would you guys say you have?
We sound more like
The Stooges
go pop. I don't know if anyone can picture
that. We have all the grudge and sludge, but then on top of that we have
my female voice, so it gives it a little bit more dynamics and acceptability.
That's our biggest problem too because that one tiny bit
of mainstream in my voice makes everyone want to turn the whole thing into
Blondie or something.HIP: What makes The Nymphs so controversial?
What makes us so controversial is that we do everything our own way on our own terms all the time. We're like bratty children, and people don't like it. We don't kiss any ass. Like this guy who did Michael Jackson's video wanted to do a video deal with us for absolutely free. He wanted to put me in this video with a white dress. I'm like, "white dress? No sorry, I don't wear a dress. Like what the hell, I'm not Stevie Nicks. Think of me as one of the guys, would you put Bobby in a dress?" and he said "No bud." and I'm like "No bud nothing. Do anything with me that you would do with one of the guys". So we lost the deal and our management was really mad because it was like a ten-thousand dollar deal to top off what we did at A & M, but if you can't pull your fucking pants down in a rock recording studio then what the fuck is the meaning of rock music? It's not like we're shooting up our necks or something!
HIP: Do you think The Nymphs will be different in a couple of years? You know, like the music, the attitude...
The music I'm sure is going to progress but the attitude will never leave. We're brats, that's why we all joined rock bands. If you can't be a brat in a rock n roll band where can you be one? Like in the L.A. Rocks interview everybody thinks I'm a satanist or something. I said that my microphone is my phallic symbol and they asked this stupid question like "Do you wish you were born a guy?" and I'm like,"Oh yeah, but that's okay because my mic's my penis!" (laughter) My mother wasn't too pleased with that.
HIP: Briefly, what are your lyrics about?
They're all based on insanity.
