Three Quarter Beast ask Riff Fist:
So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you… what do they say?
Usually something like “Damn that singer/bassist is a tall dude! Did he just say he needs a fix of minimum chips? Their guitarist has a mean death stare! I think the drummer is on speed. I could sure go for some hash browns right now.”
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
We launched an EP called Fistful of Riffs earlier this year, and soon we will be releasing a 7″ called For A Few Riffs More. Stay tuned to rifffist.com for more on that one.
If your music was a chocolate bar, which one would it be, and why?
We sing about all kinds of nutty stuff and folks have told us that we have a big sound and high energy stage presence that really satisfies…but I don’t really care much for chocolate bars.
Anything else to add?
We’re nothing if not festive. This year we’re playing the Halloween Freakfest on Thursday October 31 at The Tote, which is also where we’ll be hosting our annual Riffmas event on Friday December 27 (aka the Xmas recovery party).
Riff Fist ask Three Quarter Beast:
How long have you been gigging and writing?
We’ve been writing for a while and I think it’s about two years now that we’ve been going mental and turning into a beast on stage.
Tell us about the last song you wrote.
It’s about the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. If you believe the drunken word of a Scottsman. But I don’t know if I trust him.
Do you have a pre-gig ritual? If so, what is it?
We snort wizz fizz off of the butt cheeks of giant sumo wrestlers.
When are you doing your thing next?
Being the beastliest band in burn city, we have to throw a massive Halloween dress-up party at The Tote, cool bands and freaks galore! Then Beau’s birthday party at the Brunswick Hotel on Saturday November 16and supporting Poison Fish for their awesome EP launch at Friday Cherry Bar on November 22.
Riff Fist and Three Quarter Beast will be playing Freakfest at the Tote this Thursday October 31 feat. The Battery Kids, Inedia, The Instincts, Grindhouse and Caladonia.
