Interview with some total piece of shit garage rock turds.

[velcro]

Ex-Yugoslavia is a problematic clusterfuck of nationalism and war and bullshit, I give you that, and I'm not even saying that I know exactly where to stand on the whole political thing because it's really complicated; but from what I gather Bosnia used to be one of the few territories where there was actual diversity and people sort of got along in a fairly segregated European scenario. Then Milosevic and all that bullshit came along and it all went really really bad. Still wrong to assume shit depending on where you're from, but I think you got Bosnia and Serbia confused. Serbia is the one with the bad reputation.

Sorry about going off topic.

Castle Face dropped those idiots!

I read this interview elsewhere and what I found most striking was how uninformed the Doris lady is about basic, nuts-and-bolts immigration stuff. 
Most people don't know jack shit about immigration, but then most people also don't talk about it in interviews.  Same thing with criminal-law issues.  The public is largely clueless.  Most people don't even understand the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony, or what Miranda warnings are for, or what entrapment means, but they form opinions about it based on some horseshit they saw on television or read on Facebook, and then blab about it.  It pollutes the conversation and makes it harder to get the truth across.

It's much easier for a person to to travel to the U.S. from Europe than most anywhere else in the world, and thousands of Europeans overstay unlawfully and then marry U.S. citizens.  It's not considered a big deal, least of all by the government.  She's essentially making a racist argument against immigrants from Latin America, Africa, and Asia -- people who have a much harder time getting into the U.S. in the first place -- because she claims they make it harder for her to get papers "the right way" (i.e., by being rich or European.)  For years this type of racially-motivated misinformation has run rampant through the national conversation about immigration. 

So-called illegal immigration in no way slows down or inhibits the process of legal immigration.  The green card process that she went through (marriage to a U.S. citizen after lawful entry) takes about a year from start to finish, and in the meantime most applicants are given work authorization and a travel document so they can leave the U.S. and re-enter while they adjust their status.  The entire process is handled by a completely different branch of the Department of Homeland Security than the sub-agencies that deal with enforcement.

The 'stache comes across even worse than the Bosnian supremacist because he tries to have it both was: suck up to corporate interests and defend SXSW's collusion with the pigs, then suggest that anyone with a pair of balls ought to subvert those interests (and risk deportation.)  Wait -- maybe that's what punk is all about?  Is the whole thing rigged?  Fuck!   CHECKMATE!   The 'stache knows!

Fugk, you really are alt-right as hell. Everytime I joke about the V Brothers and Uranium Orchard being scumbags, this turd proves me right.

Stop yourself before you choose to apply a negative stereotype to an entire ethnic group. I know it makes it easier for feeble minds to understand this complex world, but just stop it.

[grievous angel]

I honesty can't muster enough interest to make it through more than 20% of this but I do find it very offensive that they find Austin to be a cool place.

[AggravationOverdose]

There's pyramids in Bosnia?

I heard about this on Art Bell. Unlike Egypt, Mayans, and Sudan they're all conveniently located on top of mountains


Wait, aren't you a racist alt-right dude? The 'stache and Dorie are your people.

[AggravationOverdose]

Prussian Blue weren't from Bosnia, were they?

She recently issued a statement since all this went down.

Dream Machines statement

First of all, we know in our hearts that we aren?t racists or fascists and we fully denounce all forms of hatred and intolerance. I am a female immigrant from Bosnia and have immigrated twice, once as a refugee from Bosnia to the Netherlands and once to the United States.

I made these comments because I felt I came from a position to do so as I am the things that most people seem to want to protect; a woman, an immigrant, a refugee and somebody who is a descendant of muslim grandparents as well as a great-grandfather who fought in the Yugoslavian Partisan army in the second world war. He killed approximately 100 nazi?s and fought for the freedom and liberation of his country. In return, he was killed, as well as 4 out of his 6 children, leaving my great-grandmother alone and stranded. If there?s one thing that we are absolutely not, it would be fascists, racists or anything of the sort.

As for my comments on feminism, I was merely commenting on the fact that I feel that most female musicians tend to almost always sing about and support feminism and all I was saying is that I do not support all sides of feminism. We condemn any form of sexual assault or acts against women based on their gender. I think there are certain problems in third wave feminism that need to be addressed, but I do feel the original meaning of feminism is a beautiful one, giving women the freedom to be whoever they want to be.

We didn?t wish to hurt anyone but we do believe rock music and punk music aren?t safe and should stay that way. Punk was never about fitting in, it was about expressing differentiating views no matter what the cost is and I think the music scene has been overly active with left-wing politics, so much so that anyone disagreeing with them is immediately dropped from their label.

For the comments on immigration, the only thing I commented on is that I was glad that ICE is deporting CRIMINALS who come here (part of gangs, for example), not innocent people. Of course we?re not against immigration, otherwise I wouldnt be here myself!

Either way, this will not hold us back and we will continue to make music and want to thank all the people that are standing up for us, we truly appreciate it.

Anyone who "boycotts" a band is wiener. Anyone who does same over a goddamn INTERVIEW is a gluten-free wienie sandwich.

Although, you might come across as less of a cunt if you stopped describing your pearl-clutching moral outrage in terms like "groth" or "dithguthting."

[vedicardi]

warning: deke is probably an australian

[bradx]

Yeah, no shit. Fucking Partridge Family lookin' posers.

Vanilla Fudge is somehow an "authentic" or "original" band to be compared to these days??

"Bands back in the day like Vanilla Fudge actually sang about getting their heart broken because they truly cared about somebody."

UHHHHHHHHH. From my memory I'm pretty sure most of their records were just crappy drawn out covers of other established hit songs, right?

Puke.

From The Harry Shapiro & Caesar Glebbeek book "Electric Gypsy"

Eire Apparent and Soft Machine had been the main support bands up to then. Now another name appeared on the hoardings - Vanilla Fudge. Formed in New York in 1965 as the Pidgeons, Vanilla Fudge had a minor hit in 1967 with a slowed-down baroque version of 'You Keep Me Hanging On' with gothic organ and drone guitar sounds. Their debut album gave similar treatment to 'Eleanor Rigby', 'Ticket to Ride', 'Bang Bang' and 'People Get Ready'. On the strength of this and subsequent efforts, they became labelled as one of the first 'heavy' rock bands. They were also apparently controlled by the Mafia.

Robert Wyatt of Soft Machine recalls Mike Jeffery coming to see them rather sheepishly.

He said, '1 know you got your time sorted out for your act, but we've got a fourth group on, so you got to cut it down to twenty or twenty-five minutes. We didn't really want these guys, but anyway, don't make a fuss.' And then the Vanilla Fudge arrive accompanied by, and 1 kid you not, two geezers straight out of The Godfather with scars down their cheeks. Everybody, including Mike Jeffery, was frightened, that's the word for it. [Apparently] Mike got a call:

'The Fudge haven't made it on the West Coast, they would like to join your little tour.'
'Oh, no, sorry, we've got our package tour.' 'You don't understand what I'm saying. The Fudge would like to join your tour, you don't want any trouble. The Fudge join your tour.'

Once on the tour, La Cosa Nostra did a good chaperone job as Mick Cox observed: 'They [the Fudge] weren't allowed to do anything at all, you know like talk to under-age girls, smoke, drink, take anything. They had to be white as white. The first time they arrived on the tour, they walked up to Dave Robinson [Eire Apparent roadie] and said, "We're using your gear. Ours hasn't arrived yet." ,

In fact, out of sight of their minders, Vanilla Fudge were just as big dopers as any other band. They'd given all their stuff to the roadies to bring with the gear across the desert, in case they got stopped and searched. One of the roadies took everything he'd been given, jumped out the van and was never seen again. The other roadie couldn't drive, so all the gear was left stranded in the desert.

Dave Robinson says, 'Oh no, you're not.' And so this guy just walked up to him, ripped his shirt off, pulled out a gun and pushed him up against the wall. 'Right, we're using your gear.' 'Yeah, right, sure you are.'

Hmm. I guess she is actually descendent of muslims in Bosnia... this was a surprise. I retract my earlier statement. There's no accounting for her right wingedness.

My grandpa also fought in Yugoslavia!!!  Buuuut it was for the Italians. He had stories of Yugoslavian partisans ripping out people's finger nails to torture them. Maybe one of them was Doris' great grandpa!

warning: deke is probably an australian

Deke is from mobile Alabama. So wrong.

[Portun]

wow, you really are a racist asshole, aren't you?

My grandad died in Yugoslavia fighting for the Italians. My dad found his letters and I guarantee you, the Italians were doing worse. In a foreign country. Following the orders of a fascist government. As far as I'm concerned those partisans were defending their people. This is a still a big debate here in Italy and it's filled with lies and power games 70 years later. Seriously, the history of that region is really fucking complicated.

People in Austin sleep with someone new every week? I live in Austin and I don't sleep with someone new every week. I'd totally sleep with someone new every week! I'm doing something wrong, clearly.
