DIC Newsletter Interview

D.I.C

Interview by Lisa Jones // 21 January 2007

These questions were answered by Shane (guitar) and Sypho (vocals)

What is your greatest achievement?

Releasing ‘Kindergarten Crackwhore’ after years of failed attempts, band splits and general carnage.

What do you think could be done to make NZ music even better?

More DIC on NZ radio – and eradicate hiphop or make it more grindcore.

Where do you see yourselves in 5 years?

Hiding on an island somewhere off the Bahamas after failed plastic surgery, or touring with Hello Sailor in a fleet of wheelchairs.

What is the best thing about making music?

Offending people, making peoples ears bleed and free piss.

What advice would you like to give to other aspiring musicians?

Don’t quit your day job – or better yet, never get a day job to start with, that way you’ll never be any broker than when you started.

DIC is Sypho (vocals), Mucka (drums), Mr Duncan (guitar), Rua (guitar) and Jarrod (bass).

About the interviewer Lisa Jones

I’m Lisa, Muzic.NZ’s founder and manager. I also manage the Aotearoa Music Industry Collective as well as the Aotearoa Rock Community and the Gig Space Facebook groups. Born and raised in New Plymouth, and now based in Palmerston North – I’m married to Adam (our IT guy), and together we have 2 amazing children. Rock is my favourite genre of music, but I enjoy a huge variety of genres from old school hip-hop through to metal, punk, pop, folk and EDM. My advice to NZ musicians is to build yourself a great support network, never be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and talk to other people involved in the music industry. And don’t give up.. as long as you love what you are doing, don’t stop doing it. If you believe in yourself, you can achieve anything. — MUZIC.NZ (MNZ) WEB: https://www.muzic.nz/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/muzicnetnz IG: https://www.instagram.com/muzicnz/ YT:
