6-Pack Interviews
Bulemics, Mad 3, The Lizards -- Top

Bulemics PO Box 49467 Austin, TX 78765

1. List your band members, their instruments, and favorite beer.
Gerry- Vocals, Bud Ice
Gabe- Lead guitar, Chimay Grande Reserve
Wes- Guitar, Lone Star
Jay- Drums, Bud in the bottle
Craig- Bass, Lone Star

2. Tell me about the first time you got drunk.

I was 14 at a Motley Crue concert. My Dad is a big writer for a local paper, so he scored me and a friend two backstage passes. Vince and Tommy got us both drunk and somehow talked two bleach-blonde metal sluts into having sex with us. Two very important firsts in one night. No shit.

3. What records do you have out?

Two singles and an LP on Junk. A 10"/CD on Man's Ruin. Upcoming LP on Scotland's TSB. Shitloads of comp appearances and much more to cum.

4. Tell me about the drunkest you've ever been or something you did while you were drunk that you regret.

At my parents house. Me and a chick split a bottle of Everclear worth of Jello shots. Don't remember shit, but woke up with a bunch of shit broken at their house, and two weeks later I learned that I had contracted clamidia from that fateful evening. The disease is long gone, but the emotional scars will live forever.

5. What are your favorite songs about drinking?

"Drinkenstein" by Sylvester Stallone from the movie Rhinestone. "I Never Cry" by Alice Cooper". "Sleeping in My Piss" by GG Allin. "I Wish You Were a Beer" by the Cycle Sluts from Hell.

6. Describe some unique beer brands, laws, traditions, or rituals you've encountered at home or on the road.

At home here in Austin everyone partakes in cheap shitty beer- Lone Star, Busch, etc. As far as on the road, I thought it was cool you could drink on the street and go in and out of bars with a beer in hand in New Orleans. I dug all the freaky drinks they served in Long Beach in the Reno Room. I also am a fan of cheap wine.

The Lizards

List your band members, instruments, and beer.

Dave- Guitar, vocals, root beer.
Jay- Bass, Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Hal- Weak ineffectual drumming, Boones Farm or Redtail Ale or Full Sail Oktoberfest.

Tell about the first time you got drunk.

Jay- I drank a bunch of MGDs and ate a ton of Oreo cookies and threw up on some dude's Led Zep shrine. That was '85…dude.

Hal- I already destroyed those brain cells, so I forgot. Dave- I got drunk on rum and dressed like Jackie Kennedy.

Describe some unique beer brands, laws, traditions, or rituals you've encountered.

Hal- When Sewer Trout for President came out, my parents bought me and my bro' (both Trouts) a twelve-pack of Schaeffers each time they saw us for 9 months. It was the Trout's Law.

Jay- Lawn darts, man!

Dave- Beer vending machines in Japan.

Any fights or violence at your shows or on the road?

Jay- I once pulled my pants down in front of some folks and said, "Kiss my ass. I'm a fagot!"

Dave- Some skinhead cornered me in LA and I thought he was gonna kill me, but he just said, "You got pretty lips."

List your band's discography and upcoming projects.

Hal- A split 7" with the Love Pigs and a retrospective CD should be out in 1999 sometime. See Lizards/Elmer split 7" for discography.

Has anyone been drunk at one of your shows?

Hal- That time we practiced for the first time in months and I'd been drinking since 9 AM and by the time we played I could hardly play. People said I was tackling girls and biting their feet…and I sucked on drums.

Jay- I was at the Purple Onion and it was pretty crowded. The easiest way to the bar was behind the guitar and bass player and in front of the drums so I went that way to the bar and got some beers. On my way back the bass player flipped and hit me in the head with his bass. I laughed and said, "Just passing through." Then some of the crowd and the singer came over and called me names and decided to leave me alone. After they finished playing I went up to the bass player who apologized and bought me a beer.
