Tragic Kingdom interview with Pat Wilson, Brian Bell and Scott Shriner - March 23, 2002
Questions asked and answered after the Southampton gig.
The Tragic Kingdom: Do you like it in Crappy England?
Brian: Um...it's okay.
TTK: I like the Space Twins but I can't find any of your albums.
Brian: That's because we don't have any albums.
TTK: It says (on the handout) Maladroit is being released in April. Is that the English date?
Brian: As far as I know it's an April date.
TTK: What's the deal with Rivers beard?
Brian: I don't know, I've never asked him.
TTK: What was Rivers saying (during the gig)?
Brian: I don't know.
TTK: Are you playing Reading this year?
Scott: Yeah hopefully, I will try and persuade the guys to come back. I like it here.
TTK: Were we louder then the Scots?
Scott: I was gonna say, I didn't think it was possible to enjoy myself more then Edinburgh, but I did.
TTK: What's going on between you and Rivers at the end of the "Photograph" video?
Scott: Here's the deal: We were practicing in the little room and I couldn't find the door and I was too embarrassed to say I couldn't find it and Rivers kept saying, "It's behind the curtain!" But all there was were sinks, so in the end I pretended to get mad. He had kept taking the piss out of me and that's why I say, "You've made a fool out of me for the last time this half hour."
TTK: Did you hear what Rivers was saying?
Scott: No I didn't.
TTK: What was Rivers saying?
Pat: I don't know. I was singing "Ask" by The Smiths.
TTK: You're a great drummer.
Pat: Thanks a lot.
