Interview With Mr. Nancy
by Steve DIY

I´ve been a fan of Fabulous Disaster for ages now and my first interview with that band was done by Mr Nancy. I´ve always respected her as a musician and I was saddened to learn of her illness and her leaving of Fab Disaster. Well this great lady is back kicking ass with a new band so I sent off some questions. Here´s what Mr Nancy had to say.

Punk Globe: So how did your new band ´Charm School Drop Outs´ come about?


Davey Jonesin´ and Angel Xstacy and myself were having "Rock School" w/Davey teaching us guitar licks....those guys left town, came back and gave me a buzz and asked about putting a project together...

Punk Globe: Who else is in the band apart from yourself and who plays what?
We have Davey Jonesin´ on guitar, Angel Xstacy on vocals, Ed Cagnacci on guitar, Mark Bradin on drums and myself on bass.

Punk Globe: You´ve done a few songs but can we see you recording a single or album for release in 2006?

We´re gonna try and get something out this next year, our schedules are really crazy, but we´re working on it...we´ll keep ya posted.

Punk Globe: The Charm School Drop Outs just played with Nashville Pussy so how did you go down with their fan base?

Unfortunately the show got cancelled the day before...we were majorly bummed..their equipment van flipped outside of Denver, there was some injury to the crew, but thank god everyone made it out relatively ok, but they ended up cancelling their West Coast shows...hopefully they´re gonna try and come back in february...but we did play with the Dwarves last week..it was a blast!!! they rip shit up!

Punk Globe: I knew you were ill a while back so you fully recovered now?

Yeah, I´m hanging in there....

That´s good to hear:-)

Punk Globe: Do you miss playing out with Fabulous Disaster?

Of course, we had a lot of fun for a long time.

Punk Globe: Now you´ve packed in Drinking N Drugs what are your new hobbies?

Oh you know...now I have more time and energy to get into different kinds of trouble - wink wink!

Sounds promising. Maybe I ought to start saving up for a sex change!!!

FFRUK: You´ve been about a long time so any good memories you´d like to share with our readers?

There´s so many of them..I´m lucky to have had so many great music and travel experiences...I have a million stories...I guess after being ill I really appreciate the music so much more and feel pretty lucky that I still get to do it...we did a show in Leipzig with Fab D at a soccer tournament in the pouring rain, the people didn´t care, they just rocked out in the rain, and so did we...I thought there was the chance we´d be electrocuted on stage, and it was fucking awsome....

Punk Globe: So what are your plans for 2006 as an indivual and with your band?

To get a cd out, travel some more, ya know, the usual stuff...

Punk Globe: Anything you´d like to add?

Not much, I suck at typing, but thanks for the interview and good work you do...it´s great fun to read!!! xoxoxoxxo

Thanks for that Mr Nancy. Glad you like ´Street Voice´. Well thanks for doing the interview and I can´t wait to hear what you get up to in 2006. I Love You XXX.
