Fun Fest Interviews: Quasi

It’s almost here people.  That’s right, Fun Fest is just a mere 2 days away, and ATH is of course pumped for the weekend.  As usual, we hit up a few bands prior to the fest to ask them a few questions about life.  First up on the list is veteran act Quasi.  Follow the jump for more.

Answers coming from Janet Weiss.

ATH: Nathan loves Ted Leo, past labelmate and touring partner, a lot.  Any stories you want to share to get him excited?

Janet: Sorry, Nathan but I don’t have any exciting Ted Leo stories. That is not to say he is not exciting. He is a top notch guy who is whip smart with a great sense of humor.

ATH: With all of the other projects you are involved in, what two words would each of you use to describe the first time you play together again as Quasi?

Janet: Fresh fudge

ATH:  If you could have only one type of food for the rest of your life, what would it be?  And no, Hot Pockets are not food.

Janet: Japanese food. That was easy.

ATH:  Politically charged songs, when you look back, what topics are you most proud of recording about? Any you wish you could reinterpret to the present climate?

Janet: We recently recorded a cover version of War Pigs by Black Sabbath. Possibly the best politically charged song ever written.

ATH:  Have you scoped the lineup for the fest yet?  Anyone you’re excited about seeing?

Janet: This is the best American festival lineup I have seen in years.   I’d like to see MIA, Julie Ruin, Descendants.

Thanks again Janet for the time.  You can catch Quasi at 6:25, Saturday on the Yellow stage.
