Darkfaery Exclusive: Rough Hausen Interview

by TristaLou

So where was I the night of January 29th? I was at the Rough Hausen show in Tulsa at the Eclipse!!! I got to interview some members of the band and see a kick ass show as well. So grace your eye’s with one of the strangest and weirdest interviews I have ever done. I myself can not even figure out what was their true answers to my questions so I will let you the reader decide……

Denni- Listen I can do this interview in 30 seconds, ok. Don’t believe a word that any of us say, we will say anything for alcohol, we will do anything for alcohol, and uh… did I miss anything??

Jeff- You described us as a whore, quite aptly as a whore so ya, your all right.

Denni- Ya

Jeff- That’s Denni by the way. EG. He has done work on every Rough Hausen since Agony of the Beat. He’s done something. He’s either written songs with me, done production.

Trista- So you have been involved for quite some time.

Denni- Ya I guess so. Like 30, 40 years, I think.

Jeff- Ya he knew my mom really well.

Denni- Ya, ya, well everybody does.

Trista- Wow I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Denni- Oh well it’s a good thing. (as he proceeds to make the sounds of a bed moving)

Trista- How’s the tour going?

Jeff- Lots of driving, Lots of Stupidity. Good, Bad, Ugly, Great.

Denni- We’re writing down quotes.Our favorite quote for every state.

Jeff- Ya.

Denni- Tell me you wouldn’t like to see this on a t-shirt? This is Texas.

Jeff- “Dude, quit fucking my pumpkin.”

Denni- Can you ever imagine a situation in your life that you would have to say that phrase?

Jeff- There’s a long story to it, and it is awesome.

TristaLou- I’m thinking a horror house.

Denni- No, no, no.

Jeff- Noooo….It was a show. But every state we’ve got a quote like that, where someone has said or done something so outrageously stupid that I had to write it down. But think of the shirt..”Dude, quit fucking my pumpkin.”

Denni- and then Rough Hausen 2011 US Tour.

TristaLou- That would be an interesting shirt. I’d get it for my husband. But I don’t think I’d wear it myself. I tend to not cuss so much.

Jeff- But would you stand beside him when he was wearing it?

TristaLou- Okay maybe not.

Jeff- Well that part (of the tour) has been fun. Collecting the quotes.

Denni-  Oh ya. No we have had a lot of fun. For real.99% of the people that we have ran into have been really cool. Midwestern people are laid back and nice. In most cases.

Jeff- We’ve had two outrageous assholes out of the hundred and twenty we have met. That’s a pretty good ratio.

Denni- Ya. If it was the East Coast it would be different. Everybody is an asshole on the East Coast.

Jeff- Your from the East Coast.

Denni- Shh

Jeff- LA wasn’t that much fun.

TristaLou- Why, what happened there?

Jeff- No great details just cause that’s not nice. But LA was not much fun.

TristaLou- But we like dirt.

Jeff- I like dirt too, but I just don’t like to be the purveyor of dirt. I like to be the consumer of dirt.

TristaLou- Oh okay.

Denni- We were all graduates of Emily Post. We know our etiquette. There hasn’t been a truck stop that we have stopped in that we didn’t say Please or Thank You. We go to church on Sundays.

TristaLou– You do not.

Denni- As a matter of fact we went to a chapel right above he men’s room at one stop.

Jeff- And the quote for that was…. Naw I’m not going to.

Denni- oh ya it’s a little dirty. What’s the age group of your readers here?

TristaLou- Um it actually ranges quite a bit.

Denni- Here is proof, absolute proof (that we have been to the chapel above the men’s room). ( He then shows me a picture of Jeff standing in front of a picture of Jesus in the chapel. You can find this picture on the facebook in their tagged photos)

Jeff- The waitress was awesome there.Every single person in that restaurant above 40 was looking at us with seriously disapproving eyes, but the waitress was awesome. I sat on their Jesus and I did my little (makes a clicking noise with his tongue), they didn’t like that. Apparently they didn’t have a sense of humor.

Denni- That was the place with the nastiest bathrooms. You walk into the men’s and women’s bathroom and awaiting you is
some beautiful graffiti.

Jeff- Modern day poetry.

Denni- Which we have been collecting as well.

TristaLou- So what has been your favorite part of the tour besides collecting the quotes?

Jeff- Scottsdale, Arizona we played a show and the first words out of my mouth the audience stood up and moved back twenty feet.

Denni- No, You got to back up. We didn’t play a show. We crashed an open mic night. We bombed the open mic night. We walked in there. Hey how you doin?

Jeff- All smiles. Cute little Asian bass player.

Denni- We wait our turn.

Jeff- The first fucken words out of my mouth they stood up and moved back.

Denni- Tables go back (makes the sound of tables being moved back). It was great.

TristaLou- So what were the first words?

Jeff- I’ve got a black skin suit.

Denni- See nothing offensive.

Jeff- But I believe it was the volume of the first words out of my mouth.

Denni- And the vocal effects..

Jeff- But they were really polite afterwards. They were “gah that was good”.

Denni- See the act before us was a very classy traditional blues bassed guitar duo. You know Eric Clapton meets, Jeff Beck, meets Jimi Hendrex.. So everyone was doing their own free bird thing and all of that.

Jeff- And then I stepped up and that was funny. I enjoyed that.

TristaLou- I bet you did. So what are some of your other stops for the tour?

Jeff- We have another one in Colorado and one in Utah, and two in California, and then we are done. this is sorta the tail end of the tour.
We are going home soon. It’s been almost a month for me. So I am ready to go home. I’m ready to go home and see my wife and kiss my dogs.

Denni- In that order.

Jeff- Well my dogs are pretty hot.

Denni- Ya I know. I’ve seen em dude.

TristaLou- What made you contact Darkfaery for this interview?

Jeff- It was actually facebook, me starting to post about the tour and then someone said if you are going near this place you need to contact these people, and I believe the exact words they said was, “These people are fucking cool”.

TristaLou- I don’t believe that.

Denni- Really?

TristaLou- No, but that is really cool.

Jeff- So I sent out the email and the email I got back was concise and professional and they knew the scene, and I had to follow up on that.

Denni- Now are you sure you didn’t find that on a truck stop lavatory?

Jeff- Pretty Sure.

TristaLou- So what are some other bands that you would like to tour with?

Jeff- NSYNC, Backstreet, I’d really like to do some work with Bieber.

Denni- We’re shooten for the stars here. I mean you gotta think big, you gotta hope.

Jeff- What’s that girl that sang that song that I like so much?

Denni- Whitney Houston?

Jeff- Ya that one.

Jeff- Thrill Kill, I think would be great to tour with. KMFDM would be amazing. Uncle Al would be awesome.

Denni- Ya Uncle Al would be awesome.

Jeff– Kenny and Download would be an awesome tour.

Denni- Yes that would be cool. What about Ogre?

Jeff- Fuck ya! Of course I’d like to tour with Kevin. I would happily roll around in his bloody mess.

Denni- We saw that Kenny Rogers was touring again. We’d like to open for Kenny. It’s the Face Lift Tour.

Jeff- Kenny Fucken Rogers, Mr. Crazy Face Plastic Surgery. It’s a freak show.

Denni- (singing) “You got to know when to fold’em”

Jeff– Ah Dude…

After a little more banter the opening band was starting (or so we thought) so we ended the interview there. So there ya go. I hope that you all enjoy reading this very random interview. Oh and just for the record. The picture taken during this interview that is on facebook I am not disgusted… I was just appalled at the current topic of Asian tattoos and how they are so wrong usually. Apparently you can get something you think says flowers and actually it could say whore. I would have to say this was the most entertaining interview by far, but not good for me since I am such a gullible person and fall for anything, but thanks to the band anyways for the interview, and I advise anyone to go see the band preform when they come to your town. You will not be disappointed.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Boys and Girls!

Step right up and welcome to the Carnivale! Immerse yourself in a world of splendor and delight, where things might be similar, but no two things are alike… 

Inside our tented walls beyond our midway, a Grand Exhibition hall awaits with Merchants persuading you to stay. Baubles, trinkets, and jewelry for sale. Don’t forget your gadgets and gizmos, guaranteed never to fail! Snake oil for the weak, the tired, the old. A cure for each, for a handsome price sold! 

A few steps further on, your ears catch a voice. A Talker on the bally, presenting you with a choice. For one slim coin, 1/10th of a dollar, a Mercury dime…come see a world, past the rules and the forbidden line. Death defying stunts, Strong men, and Ladies on the highwire. For an extra dollar, see a Fakir survive a mouthful of fire! 

With all of the wonders you have seen, we assure you that none of it was a dream. The lights flicker out as the music begins to fade. Beauty begins to disappear, natural and manmade. We thank you for this great premier, and look forward to seeing you the following year…
