Out of breath, from walking through the maze of Newcastle Academy’s narrow passageways and mass amounts of stairs, we finally got to Whole Wheat Bread‘s dressing room, naturally, with a fridge stocked up with beer.
Faye: Can you say your name and what you do in the band?
Mr. Whitefolks: I’m Mr. Whitefolks, I play the drums.
Will Frazier: Will Frazier, I’m the bass player. Lead bass player.
Aaron Abraham: Aaron Abraham a.k.a. The Bakerman, I play guitar, sing and rap.
Faye: For those who aren’t familiar with the band, could you tell us a bit of history about Whole Wheat Bread?
Aaron: Well, basically, I was born with extra super powers when I was young and it made me do all kinds of versatile things, like play rap in a totally different way, but at the same time, pat my head and rub my stomach, so I was born and destined to be a rock star. I was born into it! That’s what happened.
All: [Laugh]
Frazier: Yeah, born to be destined.
Mr. Whitefolks: Yeah, we’re some pimps. That’s about it.

With none of the four bands performing tonight having played in Newcastle before, it’s somewhat of a surprise to see such a great turnout for this leg of the Give It A Name Introduces tour, with queues starting from as early as 2pm.
