[Psychedelic Horseshit @ SXSW Brooklyn Vegan day party]
Washington Post: Vivian Girls, Wavves – why is everyone in a lo-fi band now?
Psychedlic Horseshit’s Matt Whitehurst: I have no idea. I don’t know. It became in vogue sometime in the last year due to a few figureheads talking a bunch of [expletive] on Terminal Boredom. And now it’s exploded into this thing there where Wavves is getting $30,000 to [expletive] crank out this [expletive] generic [expletive].
There’s a lot of one-person things now.
Right it’s one person with GarageBand and a few chords and like — Wavves to me sounds like [expletive] TV on the Radio. That band sucks [expletive]. It’s one of the worst bands to get popular in a long time. They [expletive] trump No Age because I think it’s worse than No Age. No Age is just like, [expletive]. It’s really [expletive].
But you’re playing at least one show with Wavves down here.
Three of them, yeah.
So how do you reconcile that?
We made “Wavves Suxx” t-shirts with it spelled S-U-X-X. We got tons of people taking pictures with us in those. People are all into it. And actually Wavves came up to our drummer and our drummer had no idea it was Wavves. And Wavves took like six pictures with Rich with the “Wavves Suxx” t-shirt on. So, you know, that little [expletive]’s probably into it or something. And is probably like, Oh, it’s like hip-hop, man!
People could know nothing about you but your band name and it would be pretty easy to figure out you’re probably not going to be indie rock superstars.
I guess not. We’d love to be but I guess we picked the wrong name for that. We should have named ourselves Wavves. We’d be rich now if we would’ve. We’re better than Wavves, he does the same kind of [expletive].
Check out the rest of the interview at the Washington Post’s site. I’m a fan of both Psychedelic Horseshit and Wavves’ tunes so this interview just caught my eye, thought you may find it interesting. For those unfamiliar with either, here are some tunes for your enjoyment.
