Interview with Texas Terri

Interview by: Dod M
Big Wheel Overseas Correspondent

Did you listen to Punk before you started your band?
Texas Terri: Yep. I grew up in Austin, Texas. The local bands that I loved the most during that time were The Dicks, The Next, Sharon Tate’s Baby, The Droogs, and I always loved anything Biscuit of the Big Boys did. I eventually started a punk band there called The Other Guys. We actually covered "Pure Mania" by the Vibrators. I don’t remember what year that was or how long that lasted cuz I was too fucked up on drugs and alcohol. Then before I moved to Los Angeles, I did a Read more

Interview with Kevin Seconds of 7 Seconds

Interview by: Corrina P.
Big Wheel Music Scene Reporter

How does it make you feel knowing 7 Seconds is a huge part of Punk rock history as well as being one of the first bands to adopt the name "hardcore"?
Kevin: I’m glad we were a part of the first wave of hardcore bands that came out in 1980, ‘81.  We might not be as well-known or as influential as bands like Black Flag, D.O.A. and Minor Threat but it’s been an amazing 30 years for us and we’re psyched that we were there and experienced the hardcore scene from the very start.

Dappled Cities Interview

Interview by: Carl Pocket
Big Wheel Music Scene Reporter

I had the pleasure of having the chance to interview the Australian group Dappled Cities before their early set at the Aussie BBQ at The Echo recently. The Australian quintet consisting of Tim Derricourt (guitar and vox), Dave Rennick (keyboards, guitar, and vox), Alex Moore (bass), Hugh Boyce (drums) and Ned Cooke (keys), got a late start over to the venue due to the time change (thanks daylight savings time) and a night out drinking. The hung-over bunch, all adorned in sunglasses, chatted with me out on the streets of Echo Park. Read more
