Today’s participant in the new 5 question series is Pennsylvania’s Safari So Good. Here’s what I know about them so far:  They’re kinda emo-y (mp3’s available for download at the link so check ‘em out for yourself). They have a song cleverly entitled “Tom Cruise Control.”  They sound more like Jimmy Eat World than Jimmy Eat World does.   And they are obviously men of few words.

1. When historians listen to your most recent CD 1000 years from now, what will they say?
“It’s hard to believe that the best free form latin jazz/polka fusion band of the 21st century started out like this.”

2. If you could play a show with any band/musician living or dead, who would you pick and why?
“Texas Is The Reason.”

3. What is the strangest band-related dream (one of) you have had?
“I think it involved all the whole band sumo wrestling “Queen” on MXC that show on Spike.  We of course won.”

4. What do your fans look like?
“All super hot.  Like the kind of hot that you’re like “I dunno if I can play tonight cause there are so many fly hotties in the crowd”.  Then you start sweating, and your knees shake, it’s really quite unnerving.”

5. What bullshit do you run into at most every show that makes you think “Man, this bullshit again?”
“Waiting around… being in a band is 10% doing fun stuff, and 90% waiting around to do the 10% of stuff.”

Bonus question: Why won’t you forget to tip your bartender?
“Because our guitarist is a bartender so we would all get our rears whipped if we didn’t tip well.”
