Twenty Questions with Love Camp 7 (1) Ok, Love Camp 7 is which three sexual
heroes and became incorporated as a haven for sex under what circumstances
and what time frame etc? Since we kicked Dave Mustaine out back in
'82, Love Camp 7 has been made up of several individuals. From least to
most recent there has been 960446, Gino Linguino, Reverened Negro Daddio
(the supreme leader of the church of Chris), DJ Biagio, Harry Connick Hitler,
Harry Chronic-Hitler and currently is comprised of Hertz van Rental, Luciano
Paparazzo and Chip Moonshine-McBrewski. The band formed as the result
of a concept scientists are now referring to as the 'Little
Bang', the chemistry involved is far beyond the mental grasp of Gulp readers,
so we will just let that one remain enigmatic for now. (2) Whats this about the legendary Daniel
Salter, rock god TM., trying out on drums? Come now sonny tell me yr story... Originally, Mr. Moonshine-McBewski was Love
Camp 7's second guitarist (never having played drums in his life) when
we were scouring the earth for drummers, Daniel was one of the poor souls
who auditioned. At the time he was still starring in 8mm B-grade pornographic
films and he was always too tired to rock. At LC7 we have a motto.....only
sissies are too tired to rock...... (3) Now you can tell me how yr hook up with
the TREND IS DEAD label (hey i remembered!) and what that means in the
future... We sent out demos under the strict supervision
of one time rock king Kelvin Craig. T.I.D were really into it and seemed
to be rather eager to get stuff rolling asap. To date, we have been included
on their most recent compilation CD, have a small bit of distro worked
out for Oddly Slightway and are releasing a full lengther ('Smell the glove')
which we are recording in about a month. This is as far into the future
as we are going to get....Kelvin quit the rock world to chase his dream
of being a Robin Williams impersonator. the last we heard, he was standing
in Hay Street Mall crying "Nannoo Nannoo" at the top of his voice (4) What school did u go to and learn all
yr rock moves? That behind the head guitar solo last night was rather impressive. Funnily enough, Chip (drums) taught Hertz
(guitar) how to play guitar and Hertz, in turn, taught Luciano. Chip and
Hertz dig the metal, Hertz and Luciano share a love of punk rock and Chip
and Luciano have a funk 'connection', Hertz hates funk, Chip hates punk
and Luciano thinks metal is for dickheads. If it weren't for the fear of
being laughed at by Luciano, I would play every song with my guitar behind
my head....I'd probably get a perm and don some leather pants too... (5) How come the great captain clean up hasn't
influence yr style, writing ability. or stage dress. We prefer to model ourselves on our drummer. (6) Sell us the cd(s) in less than 20 words.
why should the kids buy it Because we say bad words and downgrade women
and ethnic minorities...and worship Satan (7) Favourite show that you've played as of
now and whats the strangest or funniest thing that's happened at one of
yr shows Funniest thing that has happened (and there
have been many) was when Luciano and I got tangled up and fell to the floor,
legs and arms twisted and interlocked. A person in the crowd dropped the
mic down in front of us and we finished the song without missing a note... (8) What appears on the full length? alotta
new stuff or new and old (demo) stuff. We have decided on a list, but there are a
couple of new songs that might get added...here is the entire list of possibilities.....Cheap
Shot, Everything stops, If this is hell....then hell's a mighty rockin
place, Weekends are for communists, Why Ask Why, Wrestling is real.....how
could 20 million Americans be wrong?, The road to Elephantine, I don't
need no friends cos i got Jack Daniel's, Funkmeister Phil (he's a steamin'
French demon), I like it that way (Cruise-ship lounge version), Yokohama,
Trailer-park doggy-style slut (a redneck lovesong), Johan's Maintenance.

(9) What tricks can a cheese do on a skateboard? Pull a rabbit out of a hat and that thing
where you pretend to have pulled off the tip of ure thumb (10) How many words can you get from milli
vanilli I think the words 'milli' and 'vanilli' are
sufficient enough to aleviate the need to delve any further into their
chasm of shite to look for more. (11) How do the songs come about, who writes
em? what does chris do apart from get all the girls? Catches all the disease. nobody writes songs
in LC7, we simple rearrange an already perfectly written song and pass
it off as an 'original' (12) The name comes from some porno? We have a motto down here at the love camp.....praise
thy pornography.. (13) What bands do u most enjoy playing with?
who do u idolize? who do u want to play with? The best band we have ever played with is
the white trash....but just about every local band we play with currently,
we love playing with and idolize. (14) Which leads me too...dream bill of bands
would feature? ooohhh I LOVE this question...okay (in
no particular order) Metallica, Jane's Addiction, Faith No More, The Stone
Roses, Snuff, Green Day, The Shadows, Lee Harvey Oswald band, 3 Orange
Whips, White Trash, R.F.T.C, Kerb, The September when, Thin Lizzy, Lynyrd
Skynyrd, Bad Religion, F.Y.P, The Fireballs, Mojo Nixon and Lawnmower Death.
We would open, and then sitback and watch the rock n' roll explosion (15) Are u gonna move to Melbourne and sign
a 5 album record deal like another band from these parts? There is no reason to move anywhere. sounds
like someone has signed the first thing offered to them and are gonna regret
it for the rest of their penniless days...bands who have stars in their
eyes usually end up signing shithouse deals or have crap managers (16) How lame is the Perth end of warped?
i mean a band called love camp 7 are playing, what's this love shit! Love???? that's strictly for poofs (in best
bargearse voice). The local promoter has brought a good selection of bands
really....the warped thingy in general will be rather flaccid for a while
until some of these horrid musical trends (ie. swing revival, ska revival
and the 'everybody get a punk band together' trend) fade away and people
start writing good music again....the world needs its next Nirvana....if
anyone had a clue, Snuff would be that very band. (17) When do u play metros in the city? when they stop hiring fuckhead bouncers (18) You should wear whips and chains on stage
and have a dungeon in the background, what do u think? I think you should be our manager. we could
call you 'mistress' and you could refer to the three of us collectively
as your 'bitch' (19) Are u gonna record yr cover of that great
tune "do u want a root?" I am trying to talk the other two into putting
out a demo of some new songs before we put out 'Smell the glove', they
want to, but wanna wait till Oddly Slightway has stopped selling...the
proposed title of the demo is a toss up between 'You have the right to
remain stupid' and 'G marks the spot' If we put that out, then that song
will be on it. (20) So when do u start merchandising into
shirts and keychains and underwear? We have started doing shirts. Instead of printing
hundreds of the same design, we have about 10 designs to choose from (and
adding more) and we also do personalised shirts. These designs will be
put up on the website really soon Thanks for the interview cheerio big sensitive Morrissey hug mike
