Animal Train are from Pennsylvania, which is also where Groundhog day originated from. They're the kind of band that if were ever played on your stereo at a party, would encourage all the bad kids to throw your TV out of the bedroom window and try and get it on with your younger or older sister. It's raw, shouty punk, which we all love. Below are some rather articulate answers from them......enjoy!
Who is who in Animal Train?
Rich: Guitar, CJ: Bass and Vox, Ra: Drums
How would you describe your music?
Old school punk or at least we have been told so.
In England, a common interpretation of a punk, is someone who sports a Mohican. Whatt are you're feelings on this hair cut, have you ever had one and what color would you dye it?
It's a very tastee style.. we all agree we like lime green and it is best to have a nice round head and loveable ears. We like anything nonconformist that will piss off the right wing Bushies.
If i was to visit Pennsylvania, where would you reccomend me to go?
We'd welcome you to come party at our house, then hit the city of Philadelphia see the sites catch punk shows at the Unitarian Church hang out on South Street go record shopping head west to Pittsburgh
What would you recomend me to eat?
A Geno's "Phily Cheesesteak"
with SEVERAL Yuengling lagers : )
Am I right in thinking that Pennsylvania is the home of Ground Hog day? and what actually happens?
Yes, we think it all began with a guy who ate alot of mushrooms and drank a lot of lager : )
Here's the story as we've been told: The legend of Groundhog Day is based on an old Scottish couplet: "If Candlemas Day is bright and clear, there'll be two winters in the year." Every February 2, people gather at Gobbler's Knob, a wooded knoll just outside of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. Residents contend that the groundhog has never been wrong. The ceremony in Punxsutawney was held in secret until 1966, and only Phil's prediction was revealed to the public. Since then, Phil's fearless forecast has been a national media event. The groundhog comes out of his electrically heated burrow, looks for his shadow and utters his prediction to a Groundhog Club representative in "groundhogese." The representative then translates the prediction for the general public. If Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter. If he does not see his shadow, it means spring is just around the corner. Approximately 90% of the time, Phil sees his shadow. Phil started making predictions in 1887 and has become an American institution.
