The next participant in the shiny new 5 Questions series is Sal, the self-described ”egotistical lead singer & bassist” for Chicago rock band The Goldstars. His 4-piece garage-rock band includes former and current members of the Krinkles, New Duncan Imperials and Poi Dog Pondering. They just released their second full-length album Purple Girlfriend, available for sale on the Goldstars myspace page. Going by the photos on their website, they put out quite the live show as well…Sal’s antics on stage are legendary in certain circles.
1. When historians listen to your most recent CD 1000 years from now, what will they say?
“They would definitely say “WOW, these guys are WAY ahead of their time!” Ok, just kidding. Probably more like, “ereik! jkxie cdiekwor diek! Translation: “Holy shit! I can’t believe rock bands today are still playing the same old rock-riffs from 1000 years ago!?!”
2. If you could play a show with any band/musician living or dead, who would you pick and why?
“I’d love to open for Insane Clown Posse, have all the juggalos boo, spit & throw shit at us, then come back out during their encore wearing all the shoes, shirts, hats & crap they whipped at us during our set and help them sing “Pass Me By”. Why? Man, I’ve got some serious self-deprecating issues.”
3. What is the strangest band-related dream you have had?
“I have a re-occurring dream about somehow pissing off one of my band mates (Dag, Skipper or Goodtime) and them wanting to kill me. I then anxiously worry about them hurting me really bad like knocking my block off or something (I’m a big puss). I usually have to kiss their ass or lie to make things better. This dream coincidently has come true.”
4. What do your fans look like?
“Usually M.I.L.F.s in their mid-late 30s with pretty-big tits (Hi Holly!).”
5. What bullshit do you run into at most every show that makes you think “man, this bullshit again?”
“Wow, what a loaded question! Man, I could go on for hours and hours about my sad-sack tales of rock ‘bullshit’, but why bore your readers to tears? Just please keep in mind that most entertainers/musicians out there (like myself) don’t HAVE to be in a band. I wasn’t chosen by Satan to do this, it’s totally my choice. But hey, who doesn’t love to bitch and moan, right?
Bonus question: why won’t you forget to tip your bartender?
“Hey, I’m a lot of things but I ain’t no bloody hypocrite…ever hear, “…and please don’t forget to tip your waiters and waitresses!? “

That mp3 is pretty cool. Plus I have a friend who says these guys do put on an entertaining show. I will check them out next time they play - any of you Chicago Starcastics want to come?

“Pass Me By” is one of my favourite songs EVER EVER EVER. I hope he is not being ironic. My sarcasm meter goes out of order every time people start talking about ICP.
