[SEVEN QUESTIONS IN HEAVEN – BERSERKTOWN EDITION] Zig Zags + “Slime” Song Premiere

Every week leading up to Berserktown II, we will be posting a Seven Questions interview with a band playing the fest. This week: Zig Zags. Last week: Silent Servant. 

We’ve talked about the band a lot around here, mostly because they make the kind of Lemmy-loving, pussyfooting-free rock n’ roll that we love, but also partly because we think frontman Jed Maheu is funny (looking). He’s not really funny like haha, as evidenced by his new podcast “Jedbanger’s Ball”, but he sure does try (you can listen to the episode I was on HERE). Luckily he doesn’t tell jokes on stage (actually he might, but I guarantee people do not like them); he shreds while wearing sleeveless shirts. If you like Sabbath or getting stoned or rocking out heavily (or any combination of the three), this new track from Zig Zags will be right up your alley. “Slime” is as awesome as Jed is not funny! Be sure to catch the band and Jed’s stand up act at Berserktown in two weeks.

Here’s our 7 questions:

What is your life motto?

Live it. It’s tattooed on my chest. I stole it from Lars of the Intelligence. It’s also the tagline for that show Entourage

Who is your muse?

His name is Randy. He is like Eddie, or Vic Rattlehead, or Snaggletooth, or Chaly, or Milo

What is your idea of abject misery?  

I had to look up “abject” but now that I know what the word means I’ll say “High School”

What is your idea of total happiness? 

Road trip on the coast with girlfriend and dog!

What is the best quality in a woman?

Patience? Intelligence? Is there a right answer? Can you just tell me what I’m supposed to say?

What is the best quality in a man?

Humor. Non funny man is worthless. [Ed Note: the irony]

What bands are you most excited to see at Berserktown?

Dead Moon, Royal Trux, Power Trip, Gun Outfit(we share a practice space and I never seen em) Royal Headache, Akitsa pretty much everything cause i’m just curious about all the bands.
