Tad took a moment before his New York City show to answer a few of my stupid questions over email…

Brendan Boogie:  I’ll start with the question that’s on everyone’s mind – what has been your favorite part about working with me?

Tad McKitterick:  Your cologne is very appealing to me.

BB:  You are the front man of the great Sidewalk Driver.  In the Champagne of Bands, you had to share the stage with some of Boston’s most charismatic front men.  I have a two-part question:  a) What was it like to be so thoroughly outshined? and b)  Are you going to cry about it?

TM:  I don’t think of it as being outshined, I think of it as if I were, let’s say, Ron Jeremy, getting nailed by Jeff Stryker all whilst jerking-off Peter North. I mean everybody wins (except the audience).  And yes I’m gonna cry about it.  Tears of fuckin pure joy.

BB:  Why don’t you give my lovely readers a brief history of your band and your creative endeavors over the past two decades or so.

TM:  2 decades ago I was 13.  Singing Queensryche and Judas Priest songs in my bedroom.  That’s pretty much stayed the same for the past 2 decades.  Then came Sidewalk Driver.

BB:  If you were to give each member of the Champagne of Bands a “For The Love of Ray J”-style nickname, what would they be?

TM:  Bo – Lashes
Brendan – Fluffy
Cullen – Popeye
Duncan – Gatling

BB:  What was your favorite memory of One Night Band?

TM:  Other than the actual show, it would be Duncan saying “I’ve never written a song with ‘oohs’,” and Brendan replying “I’ve never written a song without them’.”

BB:  Seriously, in a band full of frontmen, who do you think is the actual best frontman in the Champagne of Bands?  No one’s reading this.  It’s just between you and me, pal.

TM:  I’m sure that Duncan, in his element, would be hard to top.  So.  Much.  Intensity.

BB:  Other than the Champagne of Bands reunion, what do you have in store in the future for us?

TM:  An erotic/fun history facts calendar.

BB:  What are you most looking forward to about this Tuesday’s Champagne of Bands reunion at the Middle East Upstairs?

TM:  Wednesday.
