Davey von Bohlen


Why not read Splendid's review of Very Emergency or buy Promise Ring CDs at Insound.

IF YOU COULD ELECT A MUSICIAN AS PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. (OR LEADER OF YOUR HOME COUNTRY), WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Davey von Bohlen: Bruce Springsteen.

HAVE YOU EVER SHOPLIFTED? WHAT DID YOU TAKE AND WHY?

DvB: Yes, I used to steal cassettes from the local tape store. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE FORM OF EXERCISE?

DvB: Basketball.

IF YOU COULD ISSUE ONE ALBUM OR ONE BOOK TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD ON THEIR THIRTEENTH BIRTHDAY, WHAT WOULD THE ALBUM/BOOK BE?

DvB: Simon and Garfunkel's Bookends.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT CELLULAR PHONES? LIKE THEM? HATE THEM? GRUDGINGLY APPRECIATE THEM? WHAT? WHAT, DAMMIT?!

DvB: I would say I dont like them but when I use a friend's it seems so easy and convenient... and I think it makes me look cool.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR PETS. IF YOU HAVE NO PETS, MAKE ONE UP.

DvB: I have 2 dwarf hamsters. They are sometimes called the Hams, Little D Beasts, or the Littles. Their names are Calvin and Alou and their nicknames are Calpal and Loulou...

WHAT'S HARDER: PLAYING SOLO FOR AN AUDIENCE OF 1000 FOR AN HOUR, OR GIVING A 30 MINUTE SPEECH TO THE SAME AUDIENCE?

DvB: The speech.

WHAT IS THE FUNNIEST LOOKING ANIMAL?

DvB: Gazelle, by a mile.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR?

DvB: Every day between when McDonalds issues the Shamrock Shake and a few days after St. Patty's when they run out.

WHAT IS THE MOST FASCINATING SMELL?

DvB: Vanilla.

IF YOU HAD TO GIVE UP ONE SENSE (SIGHT/SMELL/TOUCH/TASTE/HEARING), WHICH ONE COULD YOU MOST READILY DO WITHOUT?

DvB: Smell I guess.

The Promise Ring have been touring behind Very Emergency for quite a while now. That's why Davey sounds so tired.
