Humber asked the band a bunch of stupid questions after their Raw
Talent live set on BBC Radio Humberside.

Which
member of the band doesn't pull their weight when it comes to lugging
heavy equipment?
James: Simon, he's the professional
door holder if he can get out of doing it he will do.
Simon: I write the tunes that's
it.
Toby: We'll all be in hospital
with back problems and Simon will be raking it in.
Can
you quote us any lyrics that you wrote years ago that really embarrass
you now?
Simon: "She's a size eight
to ten, I love the way she looks, I imagine she.... beep".
Do
you think you'd make a good enough pub quiz team to beat Torsohorse?
James: We'd beat Torsohorse
if we had our keyboard player James because he has a wealth of pub
quiz knowledge.
What's
the worst job you've ever had?
Toby: Working in a fish factory,
packing, blocking and freezing fish.
What's
the wittiest record company rejection letter you've received?
James: They're all usually quite
polite really, just saying 'we're not signing any acts at the moment.
If you would like to try again another time'... boring! They don't
listen to the CD they just lob it.
Has
anything supernatural ever happened to you?
Simon:
I was walking down the street and there was this really fit bird
in front of me... and then a UFO or something flew over head and
I wanted to say "did you see that" but I bottled out.
Toby:
Something
supernatural happened to my mum
James: Yeah, gave birth you.
Toby: My mum was laying in bed
years ago and she felt a great weight pressing down on her chest.
James: That was your Dad...
Toby: Er no, and she tried to
get up to turn the light on and she couldn't.

What
is the worst case of the squits that you've ever endured?
James: I remember climbing up
to the loft when I was about 7 and couldn't get down. Mum and Dad
had gone out into the garden so I spent the next half an hour just
slowly papping my pants.
Simon: You say loft, you mean
your mum's white sofa don't you.
You're
called the Sonic Purveyors, do you see yourselves as nourishing
society's pop needs?
James: We play the kind of music
we do because we feel that there should be more bands that sound
like us.
So
on that note would you say that you were more the Mark Fowler, providing
the fruit and veg, or Kat Slater providing the latest fashions?
James: Both, we've got Kat's
looks...
Simon: We're like Kat with spuds.
Do
you charge around like Sonic the Hedgehog?
Toby: I do. I'm very hyperactive.

Do
you have any special clothes that you wear for gigs?
James: Nope, it's just us all
the time.
Have
you ever considered collagen or botox injections?
All: Hell no
James:
My mum wants them, she did the usual (applies mother-like squeaky
voice) "If you ever make it famous that's what I want"...
You can get stuffed I'm sticking you in a home first.
Have
you ever come home from the pub and tried to levitate items in your
living room?
Toby: It's like when you get in
from a really good night, sit down, and the remote control is the
furthest point away from you and you're like (points and makes straining
noises).
Thanks
to the Sonic Purveyors for their patience and time.
