Dive Party X

It’s DIVE’S favorite time of the year. The semester’s ending, exams are starting, and some of our favorite bands are playing a free show at the Local 506 this Saturday. Here’s your chance to get to know this show’s lineup. Bring all your friends — we’ll see you there!

EMBARRASSING FRUITS

DIVERSIONS: In the spirit of Rebecca Black’s “Friday,” which day of the week would your band be (and why)?

EMBARRASSING FRUITS: Probably Thursday … I feel like Thursday is the new Friday for college kids. Back when our band started in Greensboro, Thursday was almost better than Friday to play a show because lame kids would go home during the weekend instead of staying in Greensboro, which meant more fun for the rest of us.

DIVE: If your band was a dance move, which one would it be?

EF: Stanky leg.

DIVE: What is your band’s favorite pick-up line?

EF: Is that a banana in your pocket?

DIVE: If you could move Dive Party to any other location at any point in history, where and when would it be?

EF: Margaritaville, 1977.

DIVE: What would the title of your band’s comic book be called?

EF: Either Fruit Jammerz or RAM SQUAD (probably the latter).

DIVE: If your band was a religion, which one would it be?

EF: Islamic Fundamentalist Scientologist Satanists.

DIVE: What is your band’s favorite place to eat when you’re out on tour? Fast food or otherwise.

EF: We’re kind of divided on that one. John and I will eat whatever. Lee only eats Bojangles for fast food, and Thomas only eats broccoli and hummus. We all prefer a liquid diet when we’re on the road.

DIVE: Which member of your band would make the best politician, and why?

EF: John, because he’s cool, calm and collected … and he he’s got a great smile. He could be mayor of Carrboro.

DIVE: If you were going on a date to Dive Party, what would your band wear?

EF: Jorts with jeggings underneath.

the big picture

DIVE: In the spirit of Rebecca Black’s “Friday,” which day of the week would your band be (and why)?

THE BIG PICTURE: The Big Picture has a little day of the week that we’ve actually added on to our personal calendars, thus making an eight-day week. It’s called “rende” and is a day of the week that’s set aside for rendezvous.

DIVE: If your band was a dance move, which one would it be?

BP: Noodle dance. You’ll see examples of this at our fall debut at Shakori Hills.

DIVE: What is your band’s favorite pick-up line?

BP: Oh hi there. Sorry, I didn’t mean to bump into you … Hey, tomorrow’s rendezvous day. Whatcha doing? Wanna hang?

DIVE: Define the word “smize” (alternate spelling: “smeyes”).

BP: New Chapel Hill urban dictionary just added smize to the list! To summarize, to make short.

DIVE: If your band was a reality TV show, which one would it be?

BP: ”The Bachelor,” because it’s the best one. No argument there, I reckon.

DIVE: What’s the most exciting part about this semester’s Dive Party?

BP: The most exciting part of this year’s Dive Party is that we’ll finally have a chance to snuggle with all the UNC students.

Will it happen — maybe not, maybe so. We’re just delighted to have the opportunity.

Towers

DIVE: In the spirit of Rebecca Black’s “Friday,” which day of the week would your band be (and why)?

TOWERS: I refuse to answer any question that will help that talentless hack get more press than she deserves. Can people get that many YouTube hits for something worth watching?

DIVE: If your band was a dance move, which one would it be?

TOWERS: Not so much a dance move. I think the band would be the guy who was dragged along to the club and spends the entire evening self-consciously playing with his buttons and standing in a dark corner, gazing at all the women who would never dance with him.

DIVE: What is your band’s favorite pick-up line?

TOWERS: ”Hey Sam (Logan), would you mind please picking that guitar amp up for me? My tendonitis is acting up because of all this rain we’ve been having.”

DIVE: If you could move Dive Party to any other location at any point in history, where and when would it be?

TOWERS: The moon in the year 2027. The ghost of Andrew Jackson visited me in my sleep last night and told me Oprah will be broadcasting her first television show from that location and Dive Party LXIII will be the pre-show party.

DIVE: Define the word “smize” (alternate spelling: “smeyes”).

TOWERS: We only know smite.

DIVE: If your band was a reality TV show, which one would it be?
TOWERS: Intervention.

DIVE: What would the title of your band’s comic book be called?

TOWERS: Paisley Thunderground. It would star two transgender DJ’s trying to make it in the North Dakota club scene.

DIVE: What is your band’s favorite place to eat on tour?

TOWERS: Our parents’ house.

DIVE: Which member of your band would make the best politician, and why?

TOWERS: Alex Maiolo, because he’s handsome and influential. Also he’s a BOSS!

DIVE: If you were going on a date to Dive Party, what would your band wear?

TOWERS: Clean underwear.

DIVE: What’s the most exciting part about this semester’s Dive Party?

TOWERS: The Big Picture and Embarrassing Fruits.
