Fish Schticks

Summary by Gordon Lamb

This is the first year Athens-based riot grrrl band Fish Schticks will play the Athens PopFest. The band has a frenetic sound that places them firmly alongside many of their philosophic peers. Imagine the enthusiasm of Bratmobile matched by the lyrical honesty of the proto-indie Shaggs.

Five Questions with Fish Schticks

1. What are your five desert island records?


The band - Bratmobile Pottymouth
Eileen (vocals) - Garbage, her own compilation
Casey (guitar) - Hole Live Through This
Blake (drums) - Beat Happening Turn Me On
Trevor (bass) - Modest Mouse Good News for People Who Love Bad News

2. Could you classify your sound for people who haven't heard it before?


The sound of being fed-up and brownies baking in the oven.

3. What is your favorite place to play, and why?


It's a toss up between the kitchen and the laundry room (we mutli-task).

4. What is the weirdest thing you take on tour?


Trevor

5. What should people expect from your Athens PopFest performance?


Combat boots, fishnet tights, and the beginning of a different conversation (one that doesn't involve trading recipes).

XOXO
