No Doves Fly Here: The Interviews (so far)

You all know No Doves is a twice-per-month event night where we play deathrock, postpunk, and gothic rock (for free). We all love old school positive punk, anarcho/peace-punk, and goth-punk, and we explore the overlaps between these niches in our playlists. We've so far put out one CD-R sampler and another one is coming up; our two stipulations when doing this is that we put only currently-extant bands on the CD-R, and we get their permission to do so. They're not mix CDs.

But you may not know that we also interview bands exclusively for this website, part of our building relationships with bands that we play at our event nights. These are some of the interviews we've done so far. More are on the way.


1. Interview with California dark punk band CIRIL.

2. Interview with LA deathrock band CHRIST VS WARHOL.

3. Interview with the singer of 80s UK goth-punk band PART 1.

4. Interview with LA deathrock band FANGS ON FUR.

5. Interview with Portland goth-punk band DEATHCHARGE.

6. Interview with deathrock DJs Johnny Bubonic (of Funeral Drive) and Ely Bat/Malediction (of 1313, deathrock Disko, etc.)

No Doves interviews Fangs on Fur

Fangs on Fur. Great current deathrock band? Or -- greatest? They now have Christ Vs Warhol's Steve James playing bass for them (see below). And yet we ALREADY interviewed Christ vs Warhol! But still --  this Fangs on Fur interview was still damn fun.

Fangs on Fur and Christ Vs Warhol are among the two best contemporary deathrock bands, period. Their official website and store is one place, here. They also have a Myspace page and a Facebook page. Additionally, they have a Bandcamp page.

Fangs on Fur interviewed January 8, 2012.

NO DOVES FLY HERE: I'll go ahead and ask a standard question first: Who came up with the name "Fangs on Fur," and what does it mean?

F-Boy: I did. I misheard what a friend was saying and I said, "FANGS ON FUR, THAT'S PERFECT!" My friend tried to correct me and before he could tell me what he meant to say, I told him never to tell me. I still don't know what he actually said.

F-Girl: At the time we were in another band. F-Boy said "Fangs on Fur," and I flipped out. I said, "This is going to be the name of our first album." That band broke up and F-boy and I started Fangs on Fur ten minutes later! As to what it means? It could mean anything. It could be violent when it needs to be, it could be sexual if it wants to be, and it could be defiant when it has to be.
