Previously they had released on their own a rather precipitated LP that already showed the potential of the their degenerated minds crossed with the electric impulse of the seventies hard rock. After that they released a 7” with drugged covers of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, a small vinyl slice that cleared all the doubts we had about the band’s talent to create guitar acidity. Abnormal pilgrims into a scene plagued with scruples, the guys turn their amps on and offer free and easy manners that result specially amusing. That’s why interviewing them is so exciting. Trying to attack their virtues immediately starts their cursing machinery. I did not want to miss this special chance to find out more things about the band and, in addition, breaking every single journalism rule with an interview about an album and a band that is also meant to break every single rule… There’s gossip saying that you’re just some mama’s boys playing the rock & roll game, that you’re posers… That’s coming from faggot tongues, and faggots have a name. I am Leroy. Whose is that lying tongue? If you call me “indie” I’ll be upset, but if you call me “mama’s boy” I’m going to freak out. More than “mama’s boys”, Firehead and me I think we are “sons of a bitch”, and Brainloster is really a “mama’s boy”… he likes mommas… would you introduce yours to him? You’re really into the psychoactive drugs stuff, as if that was of any interest to anybody. Maybe you’re taking them because you’re unable to do anything without being stoned? Yeah, it’s hard for us to have fun when being sober. The only thing you get is getting lost on your own nebula. You should start worrying about writing good songs and quit all that bullshit. If you wouldn’t think that our songs are great you wouldn’t be asking this question. What the hell, this isn’t even a question; it’s a statement coming from the lowest bucket of rubbish of journalistic quality. Yeeahhh!!!… Maybe by accident you become a psychedelic band, do you actually know what psychedelic is? Psychedelia is the art to fuck with the Death through the music, but you have to be cautious, because it may become the ability of doing cow steaks with road flavour. Cretins call you stoner… I find that normal. I would define us as psychedelic hard (the rest of Mermaid don’t agree with this), I think it’s logical that they call us stoner. It’s something current that may be close in spirit to what we do. Moreover we affirm that bands like Kyuss have been a strong influence, that’s obvious.
We can play, drink, sniff… this on a musical level. Talking about other levels, well, the usual… be ignored, do it more or less ok without getting any recognition, put bombs… And those funny names that you use, where’s the joke? Your fucking name is funnier than mine. At least I have chosen mine. I’ve been told on several occasions that Brainloster is the worst in the band, that he can’t play guitar at all, only makes some noise and turns Mermaid into what could be and is not. What a contradiction! I am the worst in band. I’m bad, I could have been Venom’s puppet. Beware, kid, you’re going too far. Mr. Brainloster’s work is essential. Mermaid exists because of his work as a guitarist and as a motherfucker. What’s really funny is that you sound like bands that you have never ever listened to. Let’s see, besides of Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Blue Cheer, Mc5, Monstermagnet, Beatles and Rolling Stones, what else do you know? I don’t really know what the others are listening to right now, I don’t get along with them too well. Now I’m lending an ear to Morly Grey and the Quireboys. I’m trying to find WAIN’s first record, which is the side project of Steven Adler after “Appetite For Destruction”. If you find that for me, you’ll have a friend up north. You know, that’s important. Psychedelia is just the 10% of the music I’m enjoying at the moment. Who on earth is interested in listening to Hawkwind while partying with loads of chicks? Somebody bring some more beer and girls girls girls!!! Who of you is the most annoying when getting drunk? My bet’s on Firehead. No comment.
Yup. No attitude, no rock. Even someone that can seem quiet and simple as Neil Young has more rocking attitude than the noise cause by the falling of 25 trucks falling from a skyscraper right into the ass of a journalist asshole. Jeez, that’s attitude! Well, after all I have to say that your new record is much better than the first one and that your “stoner” stuff really rules. What’s happening here? Have you been sniffing coke during the previous questions? Trying to be nice now? About our first record, that was more of an extra-musical problem. Songs featured on “From Here to Nowhere” work perfectly well when played live, just like the new ones. What happened was that everything went too fast, we were young and what we wanted was to put something out and play. There’s at least 3 classics on that record. Three human wastes like you, what do they want from life? Because that millionaire thing and all the stuff you puked not too long ago on another interview is just as ridicule as forgettable… It’s ridicule, it’s forgettable, but that’s the way it is. It’s called ROCK. If you’re asking me about my aspirations, my answer will be that because that’s what I have dreamed since I was 9 years old and was amazed by Europe. We also aspire tow things: coke and speed. We also aspire to drink and fuck for free for the rest of our lives. If I’m going too far… will you take your razor blade out? By the way, that Leroy name… is it coming from the guy who dance in “Fame”? If you find that WAIN record for me, then I won’t be any trouble. The promotional photograph where you appear in front of ten Marshall stacks is just as believable as Turmix listening to Genesis. I’m saying this because, well, even if your families are wealthy, ten turbo-Marshalls… Who the hell told you that we had money? Someday all those amps will be ours. We got the power, we got the talent, we got the guts, it’s just a matter of time. I’m telling you again that our families don’t have money. Half of them are dead. And talking about Turmix, I guess he’s the one taking care of you… No. Only the press and my aunt Carmen take care of us. You’re the first progressive band to have their album released on his label, and still some people say that label is only interested in punk… That sucker is a lot of things, but he’s NOT stupid. He knows that he needs money and that’s why he has us there, to take him out of the well. Together we’re going to swim in gold. Anyway he hasn’t gotten so out of the way with us. WE’RE SAFETY PIN’S MOST PUNK BAND! I don’t know if you’re conscious that you’re getting dangerously close to metal. I don’t know what your problem is with metal. I guess the same Brainloster and Firehead have. Anyway we’re thousand fucking miles away from being metal. We’re heavy but not metal. If I tape some 70’s progressive records for you so you can check out the real thing, do you promise me not to tell anybody? And what if I beat your fucking mouth up and then fuck your mother’s holes, do you promise not to publish it? Anyway go ahead taping and maybe we’ll let you be a “merma-head”… someday.
