PEANUTS
– HOW HE GOT HIS NAME!
Peanuts told us this story in his email!!!
Which brings me to the reason I have the nickname "Peanuts".
Casey Spooner (the frontman of FS) and I were in the theatre
company Doorika together. In a play called the Forgery, Casey
addressed me on stage as Peanuts, then did so during the FS
show at Gavin Brown Enterprise Gallery. The show was a success
and the name stuck. I also wear a flimsy pair of red vinyl briefs
during the song "Turn On" so the name REALLY stuck- no mystery
there...."
SWEET THUNDER
Lizzy and Casey were both in the band called The Sweet Thunder.
This is what Lizzy said in her email to me: "All of our songs
were inspired by Niagra Falls. We did indeed record a full CONCEPT
album that was produced by Bobby Conn – if you don't know
him you should track his stuff down and TOTALLY buy all his
CD's as he is a genius! Unfortunately, we never actually finished
production/ mixing, etc., cause Bobby was on tour, no money,
blah, blah, blah. . . Along with a bunch of other downtown NYC
freakzoids such as. . . Jody Mechanic – of Mona Trona fame
(another awesome musician) Kelly Kuvo (who co-founded the band
and ran the show – she was in a Chicago bands called the
Scissor Girls. . .) Heather and Peter, keyboards and trumpet
respectively – they live in
India now, Gavin (the other co-founder – he has a
magic act called The Magic Satin) and Alex Eiserloh who is in
an on-going project with me, called StarTime – we sing
sort of R&B influenced disco – we call it FALSEGHETTO.
Kelly Kuvo and I are planning on blowing the dust off the tracks
and finishing up the record this year – but don't look
for us on Amazon anytime soon. . . "
QUOTES
"If Fischerspooner fails, it will be in hypnotic, erotic, or
passionately imperfect ways."
– Jerry Saltz, The Village Voice
