A Chat with the Commodes
Just in case you’re not quite convinced The Beat Kitchen is the place to be on 1/15/05…Soter
from The Commodes was kind enough to “flush” out some details about The Commodes sound…

Q1 The Locals: How would you describe your
music to a yeti whose been living in a phone booth
for the last 5 years?


A. Commodes:
Our music in a nut shell, is equivalent to having explosive diarrhea while stuck
in traffic on the Dan Ryan during rush hour. We also play TV theme songs.

Q The Locals: I saw the Toliet Humor links on your site, any good Commode cleaning tips you can offer Locals fans?

A. Commodes:Bleach is so important when cleaning the can. It kills all kinds of fecal
bacteria left behind from burritos, filet o fish, or even White Castle

Q The Locals: The Kernel is pictured with a corn cob pipe on your site… Did he make the pipe from a corn cob he gnawed away on himself… or did he buy a pre-de-corned cob? And, does it taste like corn?

A. Commodes: It’s really a long story so I’ll make it short. The Kernel hangs around Walgreens quite a bit. Rumor has it that the pipe is about 3 bucks.

Q The Locals: Will there be pyrotechnics at the Commodes performance on 1/15, if so can you elaborate? ?

A Commodes: Unfortunately, since the whole Iran Contra Scandal, The Commodes have been banned from using pyrotechnics. Our license is up for renewal this year so perhaps we will be purchasing some sparklers and a fog machine.
