What can you tell us about this new european tour? how it is?
Well it is not really a tour, it is just some Festivals thet we play.
We did four or five shows in France in February and they were all great.

Could you tell us about the Captain Oi Records’reissues cds “Midnight Madness and Beyond” this year, “City Baby Attacked By Rats” and “City Baby’s Revenge” in 2002?
Not so much to say, they re-issue a lot of stuff mainly for people who wants the CD version opposed to the old vinyl ones.

Are you satisfied of the result?
Yes

Can you tell us about the The DVD 'City Baby Attacked By Rats' ?
Well it was a show we did in London with our old friends, Peter and the Test-Tube Babies, some guy wanted to film it, so we let him, it is not the best performance we ahve done, the venue was strange, it was an old cinema and the roof was very high, making the sound on the night not very good, also there was no atmosphere in the club and we were very drunk!!!
The interview and extras are O.K.

About « Punk Junkies » your last released, Captain Oi Records made some new arrival of cds, with new sound treatment, what do you feel on that?
I was not aware they had changed the sound on it.

It is quite flattering for someone to play our songs.

Nothing ! ............ Just like Edith Piaf ! No regrets.

What do you think about the international Bush’s politics, inside and outside the USA?
Bush is an idiot, i think many, many people know this, and he is a dangerous idiot. He has so much power and he abuses it with his own people as well as others around the world, for example the Kyoto agreement on global warning and climate change, and of course Iraq.

Do you know the new european punk scene? What do you think about it?
I'm not sure what you mean by "New punk Scene", i think it is basically the same as the old one, punk has always been about making friends and having a good time.

Yeay , "Goldblade" are probably my favourite, at the moment "The Godawfuls", "The Bronx", "Mad Sin", they are new bands coming out all the time.

More live shows, and we have written a new album that, when we have the time we will record.
