DIRECT FROM AFRICA:THE DEADITES RETURN TO THE LUCKY DOG

(August 6, 2003) Continuing what has become a quarterly tradition before all Deadites performances, Wormtown.org continues its ongoing conversation with the legendary Dynamo Habib, Deadites frontman, who talks about his band's recent visit to Africa and this weekend's show at the Lucky Dog Music Hall.

WORMTOWN.ORG: Are you excited to be playing with Thinner?

DYNAMO: Hell yeah. Anytime I get to hang out with a couple of midgets in drag its always a good time.

WORMTOWN.ORG: What do you have planned for your show this Saturday?

DYNAMO: For one, we will busting out our new jam - "Underground Sky." It¹s so hot I got five indecent proposals before the first line was even done.

WORMTOWN.ORG: Speaking of songs, you played a Huck song at the last show. Wha...

DYNAMO: Wait a cotton picking minute here, more pop is my jam - Scott big bootie could never write on such a big emotional scale.

WORMTOWN.ORG: I thought more pop was about - wa...

DYNAMO: Apartheid.

WORMTOWN.ORG: Pardon?

DYNAMO: Apartheid - More Pop is about apartheid.

WORMTOWN.ORG: are you kidding?

DYNAMO: I¹d never kid about such a serious issue Ass clown. A lot of people thought Scott apootchie wrote it, but in fact it was one of the last songs The Velvet Whores wrote while we were on tour in Africa. When we got to Ethiopia, we were so moved by those folks plight, we changed the name of the tour and donated all of the proceeds. Needless to say , the f.s.f.u.o.r.b.b.b.k tour was a huge success.

WORMTOWN.ORG: f.s.f.u.o.r.b.b.b.k ?

DYNAMO: Food, smood, fill up on rock, bloated bellied black kids tour.

WORMTOWN.ORG: Anyway, you¹ve been getting a lot of flack on the Wormtown.org message board from Michael Thibideau.

DYNAMO: Who?

WORMTOWN.ORG: OK then. Next question. Rumor has it you missed the Green Street Calling show because of extensive burns to the inside of your throat. Is this true?

DYNAMO: Yes.

WORMTOWN.ORG: What burned your throat?

DYNAMO: Fire.

WORMTOWN.ORG: Fire?

DYNAMO: Yes fire. Ever heard of it? It's wicked hot and I - we - Wormtown - this isn¹t a subject I want to talk about with you.

WORMTOWN.ORG: I have got one more question for youŠdo you feel threatened now that your arch nemesis Eric Godin is playing music again?

DYNAMO: What the hell band is he in?

WORMTOWN.ORG: Giraffe.

DYNAMO: So let me get this straight - he names a band after himself and I¹m the most egotistical guy in the city - that¹s Necronomicon for you.

WORMTOWN.ORG: You're getting a little plump yourself Dynamo - I wouldn¹t mock anyone else¹s looks.

DYNAMO: Yeah, but while Godin is a freak of nature, I have a goal on my long hard road to obesity. My one true calling is beaconing me.

WORMTOWN.ORG: Oh yeah? What would that be?

DYNAMO: Vegas baby - Vegas.

WORMTOWN.ORG: Vegas?

DYNAMO: That's right daddy-o its like front man heaven out there. Diamond Dave, David Cassidy. Alcohol, buffets, women, gambling, alcohol, Did I say alcohol yet?

WORMTOWN.ORG: yes

DYNAMO: It's air conditioned outside for me sakes. I¹ve done a lot of research and this extra 25 pounds is my ticket in.

WORMTOWN.ORG: Terrific. Good for you. Hooray. Any parting words

DYNAMO: This Saturday marks the beginning of my world domination. You can forget about Wormtown, you can forget about the music scene, you can even forget about the rest of the Deadites. This year will go down as the year of the Dynamo. If you show up on Saturday, you can tell your kids that you were there the first day of the beginning of it all. Woo. Funky like a monkey never a junkie 2002 you thought I was through 2003 will be named after me.
