November's Issue of the free So Cal based punk 'zine, Skratch, features an interview with Nick 13, the lead singer of the Psychobilly trio Tiger Army. This happens to be the same issue of Skratch which features the "69" lists that the Smiths made it onto. The interview was brief but a decent portion of it had to do with Morrissey and the Smiths.

Skratch: So what's playing in Nick 13's ghetto blaster? ('radio', for the laymen)
Nick 13: I listen to all kinds of stuff. I buy CD's like every week, for sure. I wish I could get more new Psychobilly but all the CD's I see down here I already have. Once in awhile, I have to order it from England or Europe. I've been listening to a lot of pop music--but like darker pop from the '80s like Depeche Mode, Morrissey, and punk rock records that I couldn't that I couldn't find when I was a kid like Slaughter and the Dogs. I listen to a lot of Death Rock like Death in June
Skratch: You should do a Psychobilly version of "Girlfriend in a Coma."
Nick 13: That's an awesome song!
Skratch: What do you think? I'm giving you ideas, Nick.
Nick 13: We thought about covering a Smiths or Morrissey song. we just have to find the right one.
Skratch (3rd person): I hate Morrissey. I think he sounds like Kermit the Frog! He makes me wanna slit my fuckin' wrists.
Nick 13: I hate you!

they continue to discuss Nick's Family and how he's handling Radio/Video play, etc. Then they get back to Moz.

Skratch: Nick, if there was one band -- any band -- non Rockabilly, non Punk, non Psychobilly, what band would you love to share a stage with?
Nick 13: Probably Morrissey
Skratch: Are the Smiths/Morrissey a huge influence?
Nick 13: Maybe a little bit of an influence on the second album. During the years that i wrote the songs, for the first album, it wasn't something that i really listened to. But definitely for the second album. It influenced some of the production techniques -- on the second album

Skratch's website hasn't been updated yet but hopefully it will be soon so those unable to get a copy of the free 'zine can read it online.

  • They are the best psychobilly band out there! I wouldn't mind hearing a Smiths or Moz cover by them.

    P.S. How about coming a little closer for your Punks vs. Psychos Tour, huh guys?...say, The Galaxy here in Santa Ana?...c'mon. Please, please, please...

    Nick has been known to appear at many Moz related events around the So. Cal, including the Moz Signing, and Moz nites at a few clubs in L.A. He's also wears his Moz shirts out and about whether at his own gigs or out and about like here...
