A Future We'd Like to See 1.16 - Interview in Motivated Rock,
Issue #234, July
By Twoflower (Copyright 1993)

You'd have to be living in the crack of doom not to have
heard of Stomach Contents. Of course, according to metal haters,
old grannies, and PTA members, given the choice between living in
the crack of doom and listening to Stomach Contents they'd
probably pack up the asbestos suit and protective tailsmans
before you finished the question. But for those who love them --
and there certainly are many -- Stomach Contents are considered
musical demigods.

This obviously is an interview with the band, first clue
being them on the cover of this issue, second being the words
INTERVIEW WITH STOMACH CONTENTS in a bold font across the top of
the page. We at Motivated Rock caught up with them on the
Lollapowawakookoomungalikikilooza tour, where they were touring
with a number of other metal, rap, pop rock, and polka bands.
(Ed. Note - A review of the Lolla...etc tour can be found on page
34, along with with a list of foodstuffs included in the tour
which can provide vivid hallucinations). We chatted with them
with the goal of learning about the REAL Stomach Contents, the
ones we don't see on stage.

First to be interviewed was Joey, the lead bassist and
singer for the band. We met up with him near the coffee tent
during the tour, as the music festival sideshows and stages were
being set up.

JOEY:What IS this swill? You call this coffee? Seems like brown
water to me.
MOT.ROCK:Excuse me, sir?
J: Hmm? Oh, the reporter. Hi there, just getting some coffee.
Trying, at least. Whassup?
MR: You've been billed as the #1 band out of the C'atel music
scene. How do you feel about this?
J: Jumping for the heavy questions, huh? Well, I dunno. It's
fun at times, and a pain, which is pretty normal. Nothing
has changed for us, other than a few more attendees at
performances and a bit more money to work with. The music
certainly hasn't changed, it's still total swill.
MR: Your opinion on your own music is that it's swill?
J: Total. I mean, this isn't quality stuff. But it's got a
raw power to it, the sort of beat and tune that works like
audible adrenaline. That's what I'm aiming for on each
song.
MR: You mentioned the music hasn't changed since you started
out. How exactly DID the band start out?
J: Well, I had been listening to the local sound for awhile
