Yet another cold evening, looking around trying to find something to do, but tonight there's something a little strange going on, two bands that kind of grew up together are here in the same place at the same time. According to them, something that has never happened before. The two bands are Pop Will Eat Itself and Pigface. Right now I am on Pop Will Eat Itself's tour bus with Clint, one of the singers in the band.

RAD

So who contributes to writing most of the music in the Band?

PWEI

It is done between me and Graham, mostly. We sort of work individually, you know, but once we get the ideas up and running everybody puts stuff forward.

RAD

A lot of times people look at your records and they see that the songs are written by one person in particular now. Who is that?

PWEI

Well that's Vestan Pance but uh....

RAD

Now I gotta tell you that I looked at that on your records for a number of years and I kept thinking, "so who is this guy?" And then one day I looked at your record and I said out loud, "Vestan Pance, Vestan Pard and I said out loud, "Vestan Pance, Vestan Pance I don't see anybody in the band called that!" Then I figured out you were just tricking us, that it's just kind of a name for the whole band.

PWEI

Yea basically it was something we came up with years ago, and basically we have to stick with it now because of the publicity situation, but yea it was just one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time.

RAD

I know this has probably been asked many times from people, but where does the name "Pop Will Eat Itself" originate from?

PWEI

Just some guy was theorizing on the state of modern music--it always steals from the past and generally feeds on itself. If he really took it to it's logical conclusion, he would end up with one perfect song, then "Pop would Eat Itself," and that was it.

RAD

So who would you consider to be your inspiration when it came to writing music?

PWEI

Probably Suicide, Jane's Addiction, Public Enemy, Four Tops.

RAD

I see you put a little soul in there.

PWEI

Yea well we got a lot of Soul, and just stuff like that.

RAD

Where do you usually get your song titles from?

PWEI

With titles we get sort of bored with things like "baby I love you" or like a band call "baby I love you" or like a band called Stone Temple Pilots got a track called "Plush" I mean I do really like the track and I do like the Stone Temple Pilots but it doesn't say anything to me, I just like to play with words.

RAD

One thing I kind of noticed with your titles it seems like something from the 21st century, futuristic and kind of destructive all in one.

PWEI

We like to play with words and conjure up images and try to make good titles.

RAD

If you could say anything to your fans out there at all what would you say to them?

PWEI

We just do what we do, if the people are into it and if they want to get into it then here we are.
