DUMB QUESTIONS/SMART ANSWERS: NASTY NATION!!!!

Every week (with the occasional one million week break) we get all Z for Zachariah on some locals that are sure to survive the end of the world in style. This week, we donned our nuclear suit and posed our Max-Maddeningly bad questions to both parts of the act known as Nasty Nation!!!!

What are some of your favorite records lately?
Quinn: I've been listening to a lot of LCD Soundsystem (Sound of Silver is easily the best record out this year) the new M.I.A. album Kala, and Arcade Fire.
Brandon: All I've been listening to lately are !!!

Are there any Houston bands who you've been digging lately?
Quinn: I've always liked Elaine Greer, the Dimes and Glasnost
Brandon: It'd have to be Devin the Dude, and i really like DJ Witnes, Dayta, and Squincy Jones

What's your secret Houston place?
Quinn: Well giving that away wouldn't make too much sense. But i'd have to say this neat taco vendor who does his business out of a gutted out school bus in the East End.
Brandon: Haha, any bathroom in a number of Houston bars.

What is the first sentence of the page you are on in a book you are reading right now?
Quinn: A model of directed anticipation, the hypermarket preexists the metropolitan area;it is what gives rise to the metro areas.
Brandon: The biggest import of drugs are speed, heroin, cocaine, and marijuana

What's the best thing you have spent money on in the last year?
Quinn: cigarettes
Brandon: true religion jeans

What is the best thing you got for free in the last year?
Quinn: Boatloads of songs courtesy of limewire and soulseek
Brandon: American Apparel Pocket Tank

What is your ringtone?
Quinn: Sisqo- Thong Song
Brandon: T. Pain- Buy U a Drank

What does Nasty Nation have going on right now?
Well we're working on recording a couple more songs to have enough to put an album together, we'll also be going to a studio sometime soon to get some better recordings of vocals and things like that. We're also working on getting some more shows lined up that will correlate with both of our schedules.

Correlating with schedules? Nasty. We first saw Nasty Nation!!!! rock the spot opening up for Gravy Train in their jaunt through town last month. Pretty rare that an opening act can get a crowd warmed up enough to actually start dancing during their set (an audience that was waiting in line in the rain, no less), so that should tell you about the crowdpleasyness of this dapper duo. Check em out tonight, as they take the stage at the Proletariat's Rockbox.
