I was at the Cafe Mocha this afternoon, and Alison Outhit of Great Slave/Bubaiskull was at the table next to me with her SO. After she bummed a light off me twice, I figured I'd strike up a conversation.
- She said they're hoping to have something to release by the end of April. They're trying to get funding together, as a previous near deal with Cinnamon Toast didn't materialize. - I mentioned that I really preferred Bubaiskull to Great Slave, and she agreed, but said that she was outvoted by Tim and Chris. They were tired of giving explanations for the name, which included an Icelandic toast, "Blue bicycle", and a goddess of fertility. Alison said most people have said they prefer Bubaiskull. - They'll be playing "The Hum" more often with their new drummer. Alison said their old drummer had a lot of trouble with it. - She also said that the dynamic of the band has changed a lot, for the better. This is reflected in the new material they're doing. - Finally, Great Slave are playing the Deuce on Tuesday night, 08 March 94. Scott
