Thanks for turning me on to this band. They are quite something! Some of it has a very Exile on Main Street vibe, especially Two Sticks from Hand of Glory, and that's a good thing.
I vaguely remember interviewing Neil and Jennifer for my fanzine and it being quite the task. They were very nice, but in a state of what we might politely call 'sleepy bewilderment'.
How did I forget about them??? My little brain, still processing alternative music and growing into what I would eventually come to love, completely wrote them off when (I thought) they fell off the map. Definitely gonna rediscover them and look into those other projects by the members. Man....we really had it all in the 90s, didn't we? (BANANA QUESTION!!!!)
YEEEEESSSSSSSSS.
JUNKIE NURSE!
I don't think Royal Trux is quite my jam ... but I loved reading about your 13-year old enthusiasm!

Spot on! Like me, they're huge RS fans. While Neil was in Pussy Galore he insisted on releasing a remake of Exile on Main Street via cassette. Hahaha
Legends!
the fact that I had to go looking for you means I'm subscribed to too much stuff I don't actually want to read. time to fix that
I think algorithms hate me... I appreciate you seeking me out, though! XX
nah I just subscribe to too much stuff I don't actually read. you're top notch baybee

Also, this 2019 Guardian profile where they split up mid-interview is absolute gold.
"Herrema turns up at my hotel wearing an enormous pair of furry boots, a designer bucket hat and an electronic ankle bracelet"
