Disconnect4’s guitar-jockey succinctly talks to strangers about Hasbro, defending the concept of time travel, Barack Obama’s gig-going activities and, due to an unfortunate time lapse, what John Higgins’ ‘title’ really means…
Hello Eoin from Disconnect4! How are you? I’m pretty hungover man. How are you?
Pretty hungover myself. But enough about me. All this MRSA is terrible, isn’t it? It sure is man. Its a real shocker!
What has your band got against the iconic Hasbro kids game Connect4? We were intially called DONTdisconnect4 but we had to shorten it. The true fans know that we love connect 4.
Do you play it often? I was always more of a Downfall kinda guy… Actually not that much anymore. There’s only so far you can take it. We’re a Twister sort of band. Do you think travel twister would work?
Only off road. Speaking of which, where’s the band off to next? Well,we’re going to Letterkenny tomorrow to talk to some TY students with Not Squares then we play an all ages show. then on to Psychofest on Saturday.
Biggest show yet? I think it was the Coors Peak Festival last summer!
Has Barack Obama lived up to your expectations? He’s ok. He doesnt show up at that many disconnect4 shows.
Crunchie or Moro? Ooooooooooooh that’s tough. They’re both Cadburys. (pause) I’d go Moro if I was hungry.
Is time travel possible? Are you calling Doc Brown a liar?
Not at all, but if I did, he couldn’t hear me, stuck back in the 1880s. He’s no Doctor Who, that’s for sure. His new assistant is lovely. Not a Doctor Who man at all. Is it any good?
Yeah, it’s really good. I’d recommend it. Thanks, I might check it out!
Who’s the best band in Ireland right now? The Funeral Suits.
Tell us a joke. This interview!
Ouch. Do you think John Higgins can defend his title in the snooker? I reckon so! im totally blagging that I have no idea who he is!
Pint of choice? I was a Heineken man but im swaying toward Carlsberg now. Mostly I can only afford Bavaria though. It’s the beer of kings.
Do you believe in ghosts? No.
Well said. Favourite animated movie? That’s another tough one. I love the old disney movies. I’m going to say Robin Hood!
Finally, what are you going to do the second this interview is over? I’m going to go see a man about a dog!
Which breed? A pug! I really want a pug.
Eoin from disconnect4, thank you very much! Thank you very much! G’luck!
If you’re around:
Disconnect4 play the Roisin Dubh with Codes on June 4th
