Bang Lime

Rating: NNNNN


amped-up no-frills rock duo made up of Metric’s rhythm section – Joshua Winstead and Joules Scott-Key – who kick out the jams at Lee’s Palace (529 Bloor West) Friday (August 24). $14.50. 416-532-1598.

What’s the best rumour you’ve ever heard about yourself?

Joules: That I’m related to Francis Scott Key.

Josh: That Joules and I are twins.

What song or record changed your life?

Joules: The Monster Mash. I had it on 45, and when I was nine I decided to play drums along to it on one drum. When I realized I could actually do it, I knew I wanted to be a drummer. I still have that record – “It was a graveyard smash!”

Josh: Weird, cuz I (the other half of Bang Lime) also used to listen to that record, but I’d sing along.

Which song do you wish you’d written and why?

Joules: Please Sunrise, by Augustus Pablo, cuz it’s the best song ever written.

Josh: Welcome To The Jungle, cuz of the riffage and weird-ass vocal sounds.

What’s your biggest regret?

Joules: Eating oysters in Heathrow Airport on the way to Japan.

Josh: Sitting next to my bandmates in a van after they’d eaten oysters at Heathrow Airport.

Best high?

Joules: The little death (la petite morte).

Josh: When I beat Kasparoff at chess.
