Home

After a ten-year hiatus, Home decided that if they were going to return to the musty world of rock and roll, they would do so only in an orgy of sweat, sex and sore legs. Inspired by 1-900 numbers and a love of hand jobs, the band recorded 20 songs in a three-day period that became 'œSexteen,'? an album with a simple concept: fucking. Tyrone Warner tried to get the band to talk about sex as much as possible'¦ and a little about their music.

Please introduce yourselves.

Andrew: Andrew Deutsch, vocals and guitars
Brad: Brad Truax, bass/vocals

Describe how your music sounds to people who haven't heard your band yet.

B: Sweet jams by sweet dudes.
A: Like the Beatles and Steely Dan through a broken kaleidoscope.

So, to all the virgins out there, please explain why sex is so great.

B: Because it is a power greater than yourself.
A: Because you get to imagine you're a spelunker, but instead of going underneath the earth, you get to go underneath and/or on top of another person/organism.

Do you recommend playing your new album Sexteen while having sex?

A: A friend said her and her husband's new life that they made together, that's in her right now, began while they were listening to us. So I guess if you want to reproduce, yes. If not, use contraception.
B: Absolutely! Crank it in the sack!

Does being in a band guarantee more sex?

B: We certainly don't do it for the money.
A: Totally. Without a doubt.

Does one instrument attract more sex than any other, or is it all about the singer?

A: The bass.
B: I agree with Andrew, the bass. Maybe because it's long and has a bottom end, and is the backbone for the most crotch-thrusting.

Is playing songs about sex better than actually having sex?

A: It depends on the song, to be perfectly honest. If it's a song about sex where we get to thrust and penetrate for a few hours, it can be just as satisfying.
B: Playing songs while having sex is actually way better!

Will people want to have sex after seeing Home perform?

A: Totally. Without a doubt.
B: Depending on the night and what he is wearing most people want to have sex with Eric (the piano player) after seeing us. Except he's married, go figure!

Can Home fans expect to hear songs not about sex on your upcoming tour?

A: They sure can. We've released a few other records, so we're going to want to celebrate our legacy.
B: Absolutely! We're dusting off some old nuggets to jam.

Do you think there is a difference in sex experienced between Americans and Canadians? Or is sex in North America a pretty standard event?

A: Sure. It's free-er down here.
B: Well, some of us would really love to have sex with Canadian women to answer this question honestly.

Is there something about the band that no one knows about, that maybe they should? Any scoops?

A: We still haven't slept with each other at the same time.
B: Apparently Chris, our drummer, is well-hung!
