Interview: Have Nots

October 30, 2010

Faye recently sat down with Boston ska-punks Have Nots in Newcastle for a little chat about their first-time visit to the UK, signing to Paper + Plastick, their upcoming record and a lot more!

Faye: Can you introduce yourselves?
Matt: My name is Matt, I play guitar and I sing.
Jameson: My name’s Jameson and I play bass.

Faye: How are you today?
Matt: We’re doing great, the UK’s lovely. Everybody has treated us very kindly. We get free booze and food everywhere we go, it’s a nice change of pace from America.
Jameson: The van is just full of tons of beer from different clubs, so much that I don’t know what to do with myself.

Faye: Can you tell me a bit about the band?
Matt: Sure, we’ve been around for about four years, we’re from Boston, Massachusetts in the United States, we have one record and another one coming out in January on Paper + Plastick Records. We’ve been touring for a while, play punk rock and play lots of shows. We’re going to be in Europe and the UK for around 3-weeks and then we get home, have some time off, then we’re going on tour with Street Dogs.

Faye: Is it ‘The Have Nots’ or ‘Have Nots’?
Matt: Just Have Nots.
Jameson: We don’t care as much as we used to, but it’s just Have Nots.
Matt: I always said it was a bad idea, but nobody listened to me. [laughs] Jameson might have listened.
