Another drunken interview, it was fun and a fun show as well. We got to hangout after the show for hours. Great time and Enjoy!!

Travis Jhue: How's Blag Dahlia doing today?
Blag: I’m a Rock Legend. The sooner I die the better it will be for all of us.
Travis Jhue: Hewhocouldnotbenamed. Could you elaborate on the kick ass hoax started in 1993 about the guitarist "HeWho CouldNotBeNamed's" Death?
Blag: HeWho has transcended the normal rules of life and death that apply to mere mortals. He’s a Rock Icon, beyond Good and Evil and even beyond mortality itself.
Travis Jhue: That led to you guys being dropped from Sub Pop right?
Blag: We had a 3 record deal with them, which was only 3 records too long. They are allergic to paying royalties, it’s called St. Music Industry’s Disease.
Travis Jhue: How was the transformation from your 1986 debut release "Horror Stories" to the incredible sounds of "Blood, Guts and Pussy"? How did all that happen?
Blag: We are the only band that understands garage and punk and pop and surf and the whole goddamn thing. Once we do one thing, we try something else. All the albums are different, unlike the tedious ‘integrity’ bands who do the same thing, poorly, over and over again.
Travis Jhue: How are the shows going? Also any bands playing that you are excited to share the stage with?
Blag: I like bands with girls in them, because when they suck and can’t play at least there is something to look at. Unless they’re from San Francisco!
Travis Jhue: Banned from anywhere? I'm assuming you are, where and why?
Blag: CBGB’s, that’s why we closed them down. Fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke!
Travis Jhue: Excited about the Vienna, Austria- Rebellion Festival?
Blag: Oh, yeah. Austrian girls are cute and we’re the best punk band ever. It’s a match made in Hades!
Travis Jhue: A lot of rip ass bands are playing I've noticed.
Blag: We plan to shoot up dope and talk big with all of them. Then we’ll change the whole world through music!
Travis Jhue: How does it feel to be the greatest band in the world?
Blag: Thank you for asking. It can feel like a burden at times, I’ll admit. But with all the artificial stimulation and teenage women, we muddle through. It means making a better record when you could make the same one over and over. It means playing a better show when you could stand and gaze at your feet for the same money. It means, in short, being the motherfucking Dwarves...forever!
Travis Jhue: How does it feel to know all other bands suck?
Blag: It’s like yin and yang, the duality of the universe. Without them sucking, our being so great would have no context. As Busta Rhymes once said... "To all you motherfuckers that are falling off...keep falling!"
Travis Jhue: What do you think about the current state of punk rock?
Blag: It’s been worse, but I really can’t remember when. If I was young I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole. You can always judge music by the girls who show up. I suggest dance music for the actual vagina!
Travis Jhue: Any new bands out that you are getting into?
Blag: Mickey Avalon and Beardo. Also, Quit Your Day Job from Sweden.
Travis Jhue: Whats some of you favorite bands and influences?
Blag: Cab Galloway, Bill Monroe, the Mills Brothers, Guys and Dolls, Tiny Tim, Wu Tang Clan.
Travis Jhue: When do you guys plan to take over the world with artificial stimulations from little girls, nudity, blasphemy and "Blood, Guts and Pussy?"
Blag: On June 4, 2012. So be ready and watch out, I'll save you a seat if you want. Then maybe you could possibly play with The Dwarves cause Hewhocouldnotbenamed might die again and be reincarnated into a mere mortal, which if thats what happens then you are in the ride my friend, we'll shoot dope and dance with little girls all day long.
Travis Jhue: Sounds good to me, I'll put that in my calender.
Travis Jhue: Any Last Words Blag?
Blag: We love you Travis and a good interview indeed, did you know that I am now writing for Rolling Stone? so yeah, that came from the gratest journalist in the world so keep up the good work! and thanks for listening. Check out the free songs and dirty pictures at
