Nashville’s Natural Child sets its tales of fear and
loathing to a distinctly Southern garage sound that’s
packed with the driving howl of shifting moods. We
got the trio to gather around the computer and collectively
answer some questions via email, but we don’t
know when they were telling the truth and when they
weren’t.
“Nobody Wants to Party With Me” from the recent
Bodyswitchers album seems like the kind of story
that’s happened to rock & roll people before. In fact,
a few of your songs have that late-night-turned-ugly
vibe to them. Do you write these songs the morning
after these things happen? Kid Rock wrote those
songs. We’re not really allowed to say anything
else about it. We chill with him as much as we
can.
Tell me about “The Jungle,” the song you recorded for
the Scion A/V Garage 7” series. This real nice guy in
New York recorded it. We all met him. We wrote
it late one night together. We like to party. It’s
about that, but you know, in the jungle.
You make references to classic rock like Pink Floyd
and the Stones. Are you fans of those bands? Pink
Floyd kinda suck, but the Rolling Stones are our
favorite band.
What are some other bands in Nashville worth
checking out? What are some of the better places
around town for garage punk bands to play?
D. Watusi and Denney and the Jets. They’re
both awesome and real hot right now. We
like to play at Glenn Danzig’s House and
the Springwater and other houses and stuff.
