Saliva is really back to roots rock. I’m curious about what you grew up listening to. I grew up listening to a lot of different stuff. I wasn’t really allowed to have rock ‘n’ roll records, but I listened to a lot of Randy Rhodes, Ozzy, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Metallica, and stuff like that.…

Roni Size and crew Reprazent broke open the world of drum ‘n’ bass with the phenomenal album New Forms. Roni learned the fundamentals of hip-hop through the area’s sounds systems, house parties, and underground clubs. It was in Bristol where he hooked up with labelmates DJ Krust, Suv, and DJ Die at the 1990 Glastonbury…

Tonight you have a huge show. Are you doing a lot of shows or things here and there? Mostly here and there right now. We just flew in from Australia yesterday and we did a big opening for the rugby season. That was cool. It was in the stadium where they had the Olympics and…

How’s life? Great. We’ve been on the road for the Big Day Out tour, which is the big festival here in Australia, and we’ve had some great bands with us. Limp Bizkit is headlining and we also get to play with Coldplay and Queens Of The Stone Age. I really envy you right now. How’s…

How has touring life been for you guys? Long. We play a couple of tours a year. It’s easier now that we all live in the same city (New York) and not all over. Generally we go a month in, then a month out of playing. It takes us a long time to do the…

How’s it going? Pretty good. Just getting ready to go out on the road for hopefully the rest of the year. I was just on pollstar and it looks like you’re doing a tour with Papa Roach. Yeah, we’ve had that lined up for a little while. They’re with the same management, so it’s been…

I read that you are from Windsor, Ontario? Yep. How far is that from Toronto? Well, about a four-hour drive or a forty-five minute flight on a little prop plane. I haven’t figured out the Ontario thing. It seems like every time I hear Ontario I think people are closer than they are to me…

Have you prepared yourself for America? I think so. (laughs) Have you had to spend a lot of time away from home? Over in Germany and Europe it’s different because it’s not as big. If you have a hit record and have to travel, it’s not that difficult to get home. But I came over…

I heard you’ve been pretty sick. Man, I got knocked down with the flu really bad. I haven’t been that sick since I was in high school. We had to cancel shows. It was a gnarly fever and I couldn’t even get out of bed for three days. It has to effect you more now…

As she got ready for Politically Incorrect, I had a chance to chat with Vitamin C. You’re pretty busy now. Yeah, really busy. How do you like the hectic schedule? I don’t mind it. You can never complain about being too busy, I guess. Now that films have taken up more of your time, do…
