David, hi
Thanx for the note, I'd forgotten I'd sent the interview actually!
the un-edited one reads (and sounds) much better but Max insisted on
removing one or two...err lets say grey areas!
They were on good form that night both musically and socially, Ive known Pat
for many years so the interview didnt carry the first night nerves
thing..which made it a lot easier. Similar thing actually I interviewed
Bauhaus in L.A (for U.S Mag "Seconds") during the initial re-union shows in
'98. Now this band were "IT" for me from 1980> I wrote a book that was
published via Beggars Banquet in '97 and was contacted via a friend from NYC
by George (the editor of Seconds)
to ask if I would interview the band for them, I think the reasoning was 1)I
was English and 2)Already had the knowledge etc so they would (Seconds) get
the REAL interview and in many ways they did as the band were very open,
very honest and VERY friendly which was the point I was making about first
night nerves...because these guys meant so much to me when I was younger and
have followed everything since I was NOT looking forward to the interview AT
ALL!...anyway.
You asked about a web site; not yet I have big plans but no time (full time
job, wife, two kids etc etc) so it will be on the backburner I'm afraid.
Apollox is a mail order fanzine that is mainly a vehicle for Love and
Rockets (when the band existed)and we always cover everything that related
inc JBC, Stranger Tractors, Wilson etc as I am and have been a fan of Pats
music since Bath / Scandal and still love it today, so we always give his
stuff space in the mag.
There are other interviews done over the years that I should (one day)
transcribe these include Alex Green for a feature on Sinister Ducks (this
one is actually up on David's site)Pat for Stranger Tractors and JBC, a
couple with David J, one with Kevin Haskins and one or two others.
I actually filmed the Wilson gig in Leeds (the first one at Brudnell)
and recorded & filmed bits of the Pat & Max show (the one the interview was
done in April I think it was?)which is nice to watch especially now they are
a lot tighter than they were.
Its late...
Thanks for putting the interview up, I'll let you know if anything of
interest to you comes up.
Best
Andrew J.Brooksbank
