EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: CatFood (The Band)
The following is a transcription of an audio cassette which was found inside of a rusted metal tin can. The writing on it simply said “CatFood”. I was unable to hear the interviewers name, so we will just call him “Phil”.
Phil: How would you describe your live show?
Chris: I try not to describe it at all.
Landon: Really awkward and loud.
Ben: It falls somewhere between watching someone jumping off of a bridge and a water skiing squirrel. Horrifying, yet you can’t look away while at the same time being ridiculous and utterly pointless.
Phil: Do you have any crazy road stories?
Ben: One time in Ashern we ate lunch at the Chicken Chef and then watched a mid-day movie marathon of Rocky I to Rocky V. It was a pretty wild afternoon. Once in Brandon some guy named Kyle started touching my face and then he got unreasonably mad when I told him to stop doing that. Hi Kyle!
Chris: (laughs)
Landon: (laughs)
Phil: What advice would you have for somebody young wanting to start a band?
Chris: You can be terrible as you want to be. Remember that.
Landon: Think up a dope band name like Cat Food but totally different.
Ben: Stop trying to horn in on our racket! We’re at like a C+ rating, we don’t need no 13 year old virtuosos to come and show us up. Take pity on us!
Phil: What’s one thing that the fans don’t know about the boys of CatFood?
Landon: We aren’t cats.
Chris: We aren’t boys.
Ben: One of us possesses the sacred amulet of K’raal’nith’uoq AND WILL LEAD THE ARMY OF UNDEAD TO BEGIN THE UNDOING OF ALL THINGS! Also, Chris can juggle.
Phil: Does it bother you that people are confusing you for the Food, instead of the Band?
Chris: Wait… There’s also a CatFood (The Food)?!?!? Oh right. The Food, for Cats.
Landon: That’s why we picked the name, we hope some grocery stores pick us up for some gigs.
Ben: Does it bother Seal (the recording artist/stud) to be confused with a seal (the animal) when his voice is so goddamn silky smooth you could put kittens to bed in it?
Phil: Are you guys fucking serious?
Ben: Sort of? Not really? Maybe? I’m not if Landon’s not.
Landon: I’m not.
Phil: You’re on death row, what’s your last meal?
Ben: Is immortality juice a thing? If not, maybe a cheeseburger.
Landon: Maybe a little saucer of milk.
Chris: Lasagna.
Phil: Do you have any final words?
Chris: (shakes head) Nope. Whoops, I guess that is a word. Uh oh. These are all words. Now I’ve said a lot of words. MAKE IT STOP!
Ben: Spork. Jiggle. Grungo. Wiffle. Corking. Halibut. Chimichanga. That should do it.
Landon: Bye-Bye
