Dinner And A Show With 7 Year Bitch
By Shawn Durant

Continued from Part 2:

Fizz: It's cool to hear about Stefanie from people who really knew her.
Liz: I want to say something else about Stefanie. Stefanie was a great guitar player. So many people will come up to me and say something about her guitar playing. I always talk to them because Stefanie's not here anymore, and I think she was really under-appreciated and under-rated as a guitar player. If Stefanie was alive today, she'd be kicking so much ass on guitar. She was really great. Even the record doesn't capture how good a guitar player she was. When we would play live, she would do all this crazy noise shit on stage. She had a real charisma on stage.

Fizz: What's been one of the weirdest places or one of the weirdest shows on this tour?
All: (in unison) San Antonio!!!
Liz: We played at this big, heavy metal, heshin palace. There were tons of people there. I was really amazed at how many people showed up.
Selene: It was only a dollar to get in! They had one-cent beers until ten o' clock and then it went up to 50 cents. So there were a lot of really fucked up people there. And then, apparently they [the rest of the band] didn't see it, but this guy got up on stage, pulled his pants down and jumped into the crowd! I was just like, "What a fucking weirdo!"
Liz: That's like something you'd see at an L7 show; people do that at L7 shows.

Fizz: You keep saying that, what do you mean? I always see guys at L7 shows telling them to show their tits—or something intelligent like that—but never naked and jumping off stage.
Liz: People say that to us, too, but people don't deserve to see our tits! No, but anyways, at the San Antonio shows I think there were a lot of people on acid there. Because about four people offered me acid that night, so I figured they were all frying and maybe that was their problem. It was really weird, I kept having all these non-sequitur conversations with people.

Fizz: I haven't eaten acid for years and probably never will again. I just had too many bad trips in a row.
Liz: I've never had a bad trip.
Selene: I have! It makes me feel like the world's coming to an end when I take acid.

Fizz: What are your guys' favorite drugs, or drug of choice?
Val: Speed...amphetamines.
Liz: Pot! I like pot more than anything, more than alcohol even.

Fizz: OK, so speed for Val, pot for Liz and...
Roisin: Whiskey for me.
Selene: I like downers of any sort. I like things that make me feel more mellow, you know, stuff like that.
Roisin: Actually I like MDMA, because that's the no-matter-where-you-are-everything- is-great drug.

Fizz: I've never tried MDMA before. For me, it's mostly pot; I'm a huge stoner!
Selene: Yeah, pot's always good. Pot's a good staple drug. (stoned laughter)

Fizz: Oh yeah, before I forget, did you guys do the back-up vocals on the Gits record, for the song "Drunks" before or after Mia was gone?
Selene: Well, they [the Gits] didn't finish that record until after Mia had died, so they used scratch vocals and pieced it all together.

Fizz: They did a really good job with the production on that record, I thought. What about a band called Steelwool, have you heard of them?
Selene: Yeah, they're friends of ours.

Fizz: (to Selene) Did you do the back-up vocals for a song of theirs called "Eat My Dust"?
Selene: No, I haven't done any vocals for them, but Steelwool is one of my favorite Seattle bands.

Fizz: That song is off an Empty Records sampler I got, and there's a lot of other cool bands on it, too.
Liz: Steelwool is a really good Seattle band—Juned is too!

Fizz: I guess that kind of segues into my last question: who are a few of the bands you guys have been listening to lately?
Liz: GIRLS AGAINST BOYS!!!
Roisin: I like Gas Huffer a lot...and the Supersuckers.
Liz:...Los Hornets!

Fizz: (to Liz) That's cool, I like Girls Against Boys a lot, too! But they're more sexual, like, good music to have sex too or something.
Liz: They are really sexual, they make me want to masturbate.

Fizz: Or fuck, or suck, or...
Liz: Well, that's me. That's my lifestyle, you know—masturbating is my lifestyle. (laughter)

Fizz: You don't have a boyfriend?
Liz: I don't need a boyfriend.

Fizz: Well, too bad for all us boys.
Liz: Yeah, but, you know, you gotta do what you gotta do at the time you gotta do it. That didn't make any sense, but it's just one of those axioms, you know?
Selene: Are we done? Because I want to go get another drink.
Liz: Selene doesn't want to hear me talking about masturbating for another half hour. (laughter)

Fizz: I guess that's it unless there's anything you have to say to all those out in Fizzland.
Selene: Fizz is a pretty cool magazine. I like it a lot and...I read it!
Liz: Yeah, we think it's going to be a lot better with those two "z"s.
Selene: Yeah, I'm excited about those two "z"s.
