interview with BUKOWSKI FAMILY
What´s the name of your band?
Piggy: You want Piggy to give a name to this bandaid? Well that's pretty wierd thing to do if you ask Piggy but for you sonny Piggy will find you a snail. Ok...lets see here...you can call this bandaid...Susan! Say hello to this guy Susan....Well Piggy thinks that Susan is a mute.
Mimi: Piggy's favorite is Susan today.. But our farm is called fleshfarm and we are the BUKOWSKI FAMILY.
Fats: We are simple folk so we use our family name.
How was the band formed?
Piggy: Theres gotta be like tons of reasons why Our Family should be banned, probably the main reason is that Piggy and the rest of the retards in this Family are so loving but not christian people...thats gotta be it.
Mimi: Mommy, where am I?
Fats: We were deformed at birth.
Can you tell about your band?
Piggy: Shouldn't you be doing that question for the popsicles who gets The Family banned in a first place...You just can't leave it alone, can you....
Mimi: We are the most loveliest neighbours you can ever have.
Fats: We never tell. A rat will always be a rat. In a way we always tell about our family in our songs. Does a bear shit in the woods? Not necessarily.
Where are all band members from?/Who does what in the band?
Piggy: This is a bad one....Piggy isn't sure that is the Piggys father the Uncle or someone else...But there has somekind of female that somebody put it's loveknucle and after that a bluebird brings the Piggy in to the porch...Piggy is a miracle, they say, a stinking pile of miracles! Piggy does allkind of things, you know, midgets, female, rotten female, ducktaped kind of women....love monkey....also Piggy has this BBQ-recept... it is awesome shit!
Mimi: From Uterus! Here are "Fats", "Piggy", "Frank", "Roman", "Wiktor" and me.. Mimi!! I have kitchen duties because I'm good with the knives, scissors and shit.
Fats: And these are the cunts I have to live with. Uncle needs his diapers changed so that’s usually Roman’s gig. Frank is detained in some shithole small town sheriffs office even as we speak. Wiktor made a new drum kit from a Winnebago full of scientologists heading for some enlightenment conference or some shit like that. Their driver made a nice snare drum.
What was the ambitions of the band when you started?
Piggy: ....Isznar! Piggy have to say like.... three or four ambs? Yes?
Mimi: Isznar? Spierdalaj ty glupia pizda!!
Fats: I was always intrigued by human anatomy and I just love taking shithead fucktards apart so I wanted to take that to another level and share the fun with my family. I am currently teaching Piggy how to shit down someone’s neck so that is ambitious I’d say.
Could you explain your music to someone that haven't heard you?
Piggy: No, but Piggy can't explain how the flowers grow either so Piggy thinks thats fair enough. What Piggy know about stuff is that...there's like the Family and...some instri..intsra...the FUCK! These fucking shitflies and bugs are making Piggy go insane!!
Mimi: If you haven't heard or seen about us and you still have your ears and eyes left. Be thankful. Just be thankful.
Fats: Take a frog, cut it’s hind legs and sew them to it’s back, shove the frogbird up your ass and burn your hair or scalp if you are bald. Then build a barn, fill it with corpses and make a nice flesh couch to sit on. Lay back and listen to some nice classical whilst sewing a pretty face to your own. Taste the drying blood upon your lips and imagine you were the bitch you are now wearing. Are maggots lower life forms or do they perhaps guard a deeper knowledge about the ways of flesh? Who are we to judge those who consume us!
Where was your first gig?
Piggy: Chick? mmmmm...it have to be Sally....ooor...Barbara...Piggy goes with Barb on this one.
Mimi: At circus near our town.
Fats: Inside.
Where was the latest gig?
Piggy: She's ducktaped and gaged in Piggyland. Or if you prefer Basement instead it ok for Piggy...Ain't got no name for that shitbitch, yet...
Mimi: I guess Piggy talks about this Carne Humana feast what we "taped" as well.
Fats: A small town in Ukraine.
Who writes your songs?/ who writes the music who writes lyrics?
Piggy: People, usually somebody from the Family, shops Piggy some thongs...but it just ain't tha thing for Piggy...their allways in the asscrack and Piggys balls are hanging out all the time. that's just nasty, you know...Piggy prefer to be buttnaked, covered in shit an' bits of flesh.
Mimi: Who write sons?..now that's a question. We skin and carve everything.
Fats: Death is the best writer, a discordant mind is the best composer. The Family is a mere vessel that channels the grim truth.
Who has the best since of humor in the band?
Piggy: Well...sure there's like few moles here and there but Piggy is pretty sure that there's no tumor...Pretty sure...yes.
Mimi: ?
Piggy: Pretty sure....quite sure....is this a scratch or...do this scab smell funny?
Fats: Stop that fucking scratching you moldy piece of flea-bitten cancer!
What's good/bad with the band?/What genre do you feel you are?
Piggy: Good thing is the Family. The bad thing is the Family. Piggy does allkind of genres...blacks, jews, christians, aboriginals, you name it. Piggy ain't picky!
Mimi: That's well said by the Piggy.
Fats: The vastness of expressional liberty is both a blessing and a curse. We create what other’s cannot, will not, dare not, want not, care not. We create what other’s deem disgusting, horrid, illegal and even childish. A gimmick they say. There’s no gimmick here. We are what we are. Can’t say the same about many others. We are death, crude, plain and simple.
Why did you pick that particular style?/What are your songs about?
Mimi: We are born this way. Stories from the farm.
Piggy: What? 'cause Piggy haven't find any other genres...maybe someday Piggy will skin a alien...You know those FIFA-men or what you call them with them flying sausages!
Fats: I picked the face because I’m not into clothing so much. I like wearing faces though and in that way I am stylish! Our songs are about life at the farm. The Family diary in a way.
Do you write your own material or mainly covers?
Mimi: We cover furnitures with the new flesh and skin and shit like that, but those are our own material when once peeling off ... someone or something.
Piggy: Mainly lovers. That's what Piggy is.
Fats: Everything we create is original, our own. Be it a table, song, toy airplane, a rocking horse or a wall mural of flesh.
Have you made any albums?/If yes what are they?
Mimi: We have lots of photo albums. All Bums, you know? Good memories with the family. Full-lenght trips with acid and Ayahuasca.
Piggy: Isn't there someone to do these kind of...printing and shit? Piggy means that it's probaply pretty hard to print those albums...maybe there's somekind of special machinery for that...does anyone know where we can steal that shit?
Mimi: Bukowski Family, Dig your own Grave, Initiation, Unpleasantries Abundant. Words after words...sentences after sentences....stories after stories.
Do you have any clips on YouTube?
Piggy: Yes. Piggy loves clits. Small, large, dark, light, pink, yellow, covered wit flies...you name it.
Mimi: Piggy loves clits.. we have loads of clits saved on a Piggy's lubetube.
And indeed we have clips.. we using those for drying the skin sometimes.
Fats: There is some footage on YouTube, www.youtube.com/bukowskifamily and since we have received quite a few threats and demands to take our shit down we have since started to haul our shit over to Vimeo. Carne Humana is watchable at http://vimeo.com/97001063
How old are you?/What got you started in music?
Piggy: This much. When Piggy heard Michael Bolton for the fist time.... it was love. Now the Family has their own fatchicks!
Mimi: Who counting the number of days, months or years in the basement? I have noises and voices in my head all the fucking time. But those are nice to me and that's the reason I'm not lonely ever.
Fats: I am 16. Or was it 61? In the basement it makes no difference as long as your face isn’t rotting there and then.
At what age did you start playing?
Piggy: Young. Piggy was just a little Piggydipig then...
Mimi: Playing with dead since the early childhood. I can be a virgin...surely a whore..but thats for my own pleasure!!
Fats: I don’t play. I mean everything I say and do. I am not the one to screw around unless it is with a screwdriver in your kneecap.
How old were you guys when you first stood on stage?
Piggy: ? What? The Old Geezer allways stares at Piggy.
Mimi: They put me into stage when i was really young. Those old fucking sweaty truck drivers just stared at me...with money on their hairy hands.
Fats: I was 12 when I first grabbed the titties of a stripper. I stripped her good.
What year was the band started?
Piggy: This bandaid has been there like ages...Piggy had others too but usually they fall of in time to time...
Mimi: What day is now? Actually what year is now?
Fats: Who gives a shit. The ball is rolling and there is nothing to stop it.
Best/worst gig you've played?
Piggy: Isnt it like the worst gimp is the best gimp? Right? Because the agony of a poor gimp gives you your best filling of a sadistick mindgames.
Mimi: Worst is the best for another and best is the worst for an another. Pure raw meat is always good.
What places will you be playing in in the imidate future?
Piggy: No...Piggy is born an bread here! Piggy ain't no fucking imigrant! Damn...what is this cross exam? How about if Piggy ask you something...like...something about....
Mimi: Intimate..that's the word Piggy...INTIMATE!! This girl is lost with the questions.
Piggy: ....about...How long is this? JAJJAJAJAJJAJJA! No who's who now? ...And who is this who....is who a doctor?
Fats: We will be intimidating every place everywhere.
Where have you played from then till now?
Mimi: Everywhere?! What the fuck? !!
Piggy: When? Now? Where? In a form of a Family or Piggy just alone? Piggy is just playing with...well...little Piggy...
Fats: How can we be sure we are here and not in the now now? Is there such a thing as time? Can we go back and kill again? That would be something!
Witch band is the best you´ve seen?
Piggy: Have to say that Piggy ain't much for the witchcraft.. Our Aunt Hjårt was kind of witch or southern medicin specialist or something like that. She had these chicken bones an' shit everywhere in the house, some wierd ass puppets and stickfigures... creepy as hell...
Mimi: Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra.
Fats: I saw a band of rebels approaching a tiny rural town in our Hungary. They butchered the township, children, women, men. They raped the men. That is when I decided that if I ever get to be in a band I need to make a few changes to their script. Never rape the men. Also Frank’s chain gang is something to check out!
Is it always the same songs live?
Mimi: NO!!! I hear other voices too, But can be that sometimes those same things repeating in my head everyday. Maybe even weeks or months.
Piggy: Sometimes, after like two or three months of wearing those goddamn thongs Piggy actually thinks that the thongs are alive... Piggy ain't shitting you guys..Sometimes you can hear them whispering...
Fats: Yes. Always the same old song. Who makes a difference in the environment where it’s hot, damp and smells like a dead camel’s rotting crotch. As long as we are entertained it’s all good.
What has been the best/most promising gig so far?
Mimi: I've said this before to something else..but Uncle’s rocking chair diaries. They who were involved… We never forget!! quate from Fountain of Woe “They cannot speak anymore, clamor replaces speech”
Piggy: It would be romantic to say that the first one...Barbara. So Piggy goes with the Joe, this old drunken truckerwho liked to put some girlyshit on. A truckstop promqueen.
Fats: Probably something we did in the 70s?
Have you had any bigger tours from start to now?
Piggy: We are starting tourette?! Fuck yes! Piggy can't wait! Cockshitfuck!
Mimi: We touring all the time because of FBI and so.
Fats: We had a tour of Japanese tourists for Christmas dinner back in ’86. Those small pebbles of human’s are tasty but they don’t fill a grown man. Makes you angry that’s what they do.
How big crowds do you usually play for?
Piggy: Three or four...maybe sometimes up to twelve. It depends how scary the scarecrows are that Frank has been building. But it not a big problem at all.
Mimi: we are 6 people plus Uncle. Sometimes there are more witnesses.
Fats: We don’t play. We destroy.
What are the plans for the rest of the year?
Mimi: Making our farm and the family more known.
Piggy: Maybe Piggy should grow some corn also...humans and corn goes like chicks and a cat.
Fats: Maybe fuck?
Where do you usually play?
Piggy: Don't mind if Piggy do! Everywhere! In the closet, by the dried pool, on the porch, in Wictors car....
Mimi: Where ever feels like.. sometimes at our farms playground...sometimes at the gas stations toilet with some truck driver. Taking fucking guts out..because is too heavy for me to drag or carry whole fucking body with me. If im just stealing someone's heart.. there is not much time to to play with it anyways. You know..I collect hearts. Would like to have yours too sweety.
How do you get psyched up for a gig?
Mimi: How to get fucked up would be better. You are fucked up with these questions boy.
Piggy: How does Piggy know that you're not a psycho? Does Piggy seem psycho to you? what? It's like many of the people judge each other very easily in todays world. It's sad 'cause it makes so many conflicts to happen..you cannot be aby different than the grey mass that tells us how to dress, what to listen and what to eat. If you're any different that those, you're fucked, alone and starving without human contacts a little human wilts away in agony.
Fats: We are psychotic enough to just start tearing up the place. If you mean rubbing each other’s asses and sucking nipples and shit like all the jock types do, that’s gay! Besides, it’s gay!
What are your goals with your music?
Piggy: After seeing this documentary from these Albine Ibex males, Piggy decides to grow a few goats and will train them just as agile as those albine ibex... It would be awesome! Piggys own herd. Humbing around in stinking pile of corpses...
Mimi: Human experiment.
Fats: Fuck shit up. If we succeed I want to hear a South American sweaty fat fucker yelling GOOOOOL as we punish the herd on stage.
When did you decide to go all in for the music?
Piggy: Who's saying anything about the mussika? Piggy is going all in for the hunt of fresh Meat.
Mimi: Jewish Deicide
Fats: When we heard Justin Bieber is making filthy shit and is so popular.
Is it easier to get your inspiration from older bands or from bands more modern?
Piggy: Well...sometimes baldys are more fun but...Piggy don't know...either way, hair or no whore it all the same to Piggy. They taste the same. Well not the Same or what ever they calls those yahoos in north of that thing called Scandalnavication. They probaply tasty like shit. 'cause all the tar and rainbeers...
Mimi: Not sure how ancient those voices are in my head.
Fats: The older the better. I would fucking resurrect Mozart if I could!
What are your sources of inspiration?
Mimi: Voices in my head...noises and all things from the farm and our daily life.
Piggy: Dislocated shoulders, the Family, naked ladies, Naked Piggy, national geocrappy, tv-shops...poetry.
Fats: Mushrooms, DMT, moonshine and manual labor. When you go home, sit back and sip a cup of brew you just let it all go.
What's the first step when making a new song?
Piggy: To get food and beer. A lot of beer and ducktape. Get away from the Basement.
Mimi: Ducktape is really important. Moonshine and mantra for the dinner. "There's nothing you can do..so eat your fucking soup...there's nothing we can't do...we always eat our soup."
Fats: Pickup truck and a baseball bat. Find a chick or dick, bounce them and begin creating.
How do you feel about the downloading of music instead of buying albums?
Piggy: ....Piggy steals all the Michail Bolton albums...
Mimi: What I feel? Nothing.
Fats: Doesn’t matter. Everyone will die eventually and in that state your ass is grass. Good for you!
What would be your dreams for the band?
Piggy: What are dreams? Is it same as the fotograps in your head that spin around an' round?
Mimi: Piggy!! Dreams are those when you ask that if you may get some new lovestick for playing or something else like that.
Fats: A five week Hungarian fucktournament with catering by The Family. We could have events like wifeflaying, groupsexmeatgrinding, gangbangflamethrowing and uberfucker live grenade catching. Wiktor could run a shooting gallery with live targets such as Westboro Baptist Cunts and some Islamic goatherders not forgetting the Somali. Hopefully we get Frank out of jail to do some fleshwelding.
Besides your own music, what genres and bands do you listen to?
Piggy: Have Piggy not been saying shit about the Michael...This redcross thing is gettin on Piggys nerves.
Mimi: Still those voices are in my head.
Fats: I listen to Somali market clamoring and Islamic prayers. Makes one want to rip someone’s arms off with bare hands and then beat the fucker into a pulp with his own floppies.
What do you hold most dear?
Piggy: Yes, Piggy can hold your beer.
Mimi: Our Family.
Fats: The Family.
What would be your greatest fears for the future?
Piggy: To become a precident. Of Moldova. Those fuckers are like animals, they smells like cabbage and whooping cough... Piggy hates them. If you furniturized them, those shitstinking sofas cannot be used even in the garden..
Mimi: Maybe to get touched by jesus in a mexican prison.
Fats: That meat ends and we need to use weeds and flowers for sustenance. Can’t have that!
When you are on stage, what do you fear most then?
Piggy: Fear? What is that?
Mimi: Psychotic mind needs human contact.
Fats: No fear.
What songs and what years were they released?
Piggy: What what thongs? Piggy don't know ask somebody else....
Mimi: What sons and what ears were they replaced? Like what the fuck.. sons and ears...sons without ears.. only tears.. those are what are left behind us and tears can't replace. Are beautiful as morning dew.
Fats: You got me confused, you tell me!
Have you been part of any other projects?
Mimi: Wiktor has lots of targeting projects going on. It's pretty entertaining.
Piggy: There are rejects in the Farm...The Herd is one big rejects captured in one place...
Fats: Some Frank’s projects yes. I told him he can shove them.
Have you been in any other bands?
Piggy: The one called Piggys Joint and one called Piggylovesyoutopieces...the last one was this romantic ballads kind of experimental thing.
Mimi: In the hands of others... I have been. Yes.
Fats: Wiktor was in a rebel band in rural Hungary way back. Me, not so much.
What do you work with outside of the band and the music?
Piggy: Been working in the Flesh Farm all Piggys life. Gonna work there till Piggy dies and join the Meat. That's how the Family does the funerals. It natures way of sayin' that we ain't nothin' but Meat. All of us.
Mimi: Loving my family.
Fats: If I told you, I would probably lose my job and be incarcerated because they would be horrified by the fact I am among them.
What would you do if there was no music?
Piggy: Probably be deaf. They don't have music, you know.
Mimi: Piggy said it all.
How important are your fans?
Piggy: Very important! Very important indeed 'cause the heat can get so depressing and gets you down 'cause it's too hot to do anything. That's when Piggys fan-collection comes in the picture! Piggy has couple of huge fans and few of those smaller ones...Frank usually fixes those up, he's the handycap-man in the Farm..
Mimi: A couple of ceiling fans helps sometimes pretty much.
What's the funniest/most memorable thing a fan has done for you?
Piggy: Almost chop Piggys dick off! That wasn't funny at all but all those other assholes living in upstairs had a blast.
Mimi: HAHAHAH.. Piggy...we love you.
Fats: And that wasn’t the only time. Piggy, you slop-eater, you!
How often do you rehearse?
Piggy: Rehearse? ....what...oh.. re-herd? Yes, we as the Family try to keep the herd in that condition that it is useful for us at least couple months or so...
Mimi: Piggy..it must be re..HEARSE...you know HEARSE!! We won't use that. Others do.
Fats: Ummmm…No.
Where do you rehearse?
Piggy: Like Piggy said we probaply chain the Herd like in couple of months or so, It depends with so many of things, like is it raining all the time or is a heatwave or shit like that. Sometimes the whole Herd needs to put down 'cause of some dicease or maybe just because they are so fuck up in the head that they cannot take another biting anymore. Or just for the reason that we can.
Mimi: Hearse is usually at the yard of a casket shop? Isn't it?
Fats: If we gave you the exact location that would seriously compromise our business.
Name 2 of your own songs you like at the moment?
Piggy: Difficult to say but Piggy goes for the 6teen and Discipline of the Flesh Sculptor...They are kind of personal for Piggy.
Mimi: I don't have any sons!!! Carne Humana is tasty always and keeps belly full. ..and.. as their hope slowly fades...the flayed skin tapestry is made!!
Fats: Everything we have done kicks ass.
What do you feel is the best live band you've seen?
Piggy: Gotta go with Bolton. And good second place gotta go for this Hungarian small band called Penèszes Bèl Uhu.
Mimi: I go for gummed paper bands this time while taking acid.
Fats: I once felt Rockbitch.
What drives a band that isn't all that famous and renowned to try to make a living on their music and to keep playing?
Mimi: Frank got arms for driving. Uncle is famous between me and my brothers.
Piggy: You gotta better idea to collect a herd full of people to use as furniture, tapestry or for food and torture, by all means, tell us.
Fats: Pure disdain towards the human race.
Do you have any webpages?
Piggy: Webs, spiders, bugs, shit like that...
Mimi: Yes.. lots of spider webs.
Any pearls of wisdom for all other bands out there?
Piggy: Keep dying. In the end it's the only thing we all are good at.
Mimi: I think Piggy said it all.
Fats: Here’s a little shitnugget of Hungarian folklore that applies to each and every single one of you. “A cock crows when the green leaf bears witness to the parting of skies.”
Would you like to add anything else?
Piggy: Adds are nice, sometimes Piggy reads those underwear collection adds...well not reads but touches the pictures...
Mimi: ADHD doesn't increase the amount of numbers.
Fats: A little salt, some onions. Simmer for 3 hours.
Describe your show, visually and musically
Piggy: Fat chick goes like this, like that, still a skanky looking twat...And then Piggy does this spinning thing....like this.... see it, embrace motherfuckers! And the song goes like digadigadigadigaaagraaa!
Mimi: Some people say Carnage..I say just a moments with a loving family.
Fats: A gimmick to get us money.
How do you view the musicindurty of today?
Piggy: You guys know these binoclaculators...you put a coin in it and a view is open! Smart and efective way of viewing the...view...
Mimi: I see them starving. Hungry and fucking starving.
Fats: They won’t stand a chance when The Family rolls out!
What advice would you like to give other bands?
Piggy: That thing which throws tennisballs or baseballs...Thats a nice device..Or electric knife, it's quite handy when cutting the Meat and also its retro...you know, it's cool to use those retro things!
Mimi: TENDERIZER " Before your ow skin, flesh and bone..you have to choose one of your own...now who's the lucky piece of shit..pont a finger and make the pick!! We know you're all eager (as we are) but somebody is always the first one. "
Fats: Just give up.
What are the biggest obstacles for a band?
Mimi: If the glue does not hold the paper band itself?
Piggy: The Cage. Not Nicholas, although he weird looking fellow...that guys skin is just...it's just not right! Too smooth and whats with the teeth man...nope, gotta go that he ain't making the best looking corpse. Also he is not Piggys best of choice for the...whats ti called...Factors quild?
Fats: Piggy’s obstacles. It’s like a giant pear growing hair.
What is best/worst with playing the clubs?
Mimi: You know there are always gals' who don't know how to do their job.
Piggy: They are boring. They only make this klank-klank-sound. They are just big sticks...nothing else. The best thing is that you can find them in almost any small forest or ditch. And you don't need a ear for misic when playing with that shit. Piggy would even say that they are for retards.
Fats: I still don’t play. I use clubs to tenderize the meat. Makes a nice slapping sound when you hit a fat fuck in the belly.
Tell us about upcomming gigs and why we should be at them?
Mimi: Never know these geeks what comes but you should definitely eat them.
Piggy: You will join the Family either voluntarily or internally. Or you could be furniturized also.
How would you describe your sound in one sentence?
Piggy: It's a life-sentence without a chance of a parole.
Mimi: Disraptive at the moment...these voices keeps talking and talking.
What is your favorite crappy instrument?
Mimi: Rusty scissors.
Piggy: Humans.
Mimi: Yeah fucking humans too!
What was one of the most quarrelsome times for you in the band?
Piggy: It's chaos all the way. There's nothin' like quiet times. There's always someone yelling and screaming in the Basement or in the Barn or the fucking Herd cryies for the water or some other shit...Chaos. Always a fucking Chaos.
Mimi: Yes chaos indeed...everyone wants to have first bite.
Fats: Trying to make Uncle understand that there is no point in burning people unless you cook them for eating.
Whats your Pre-show ritual?
Piggy: Peep-show rituals?....Well basicly same thing like the rest of you Piggy thinks...change a twenty to quarters, get a few tissue and choose the crappiest looking skanky-ass bitch that you possible can find and just enjoy the show..
Mimi: Fresh cunt with some veggies on the dinner table.
Do you have anything to add?
Piggy: Roman is one weird looking mutherfucker... He is not right in the head you know...
Fats: Did we forget pepper?
Mimi: Things that are worth to see.
