13 Questions: Workshop


1. Describe your band in 13 words or less.
A Comic Product of Sex-crazed-hormone-raging chickens on lsd and well-endowed-sizzling-hot-impossible-to-resist Indo-southeastmongolian chicks x 13

2. What are your main influences, both musically and otherwise?
Reproductive/Life sustaining organs (excluding the liver and pancreas) for some absurd reason, Mallika Sherawat (An Indian Film actress whose breasts can act better than she can), Primus, King Diamond, Meshuggah, Dimmu Borgir, Paris Hilton and her sister Venice Hilton...speaking of which When is Hilton gonna get assassinated?

3. Tell us about the last record you released?
Technically it'll probably be somewhere during mid april 2043 AD when Sahil (Guitarist/Vocalist) will give up music for cookery after his soul is eventually devoured by demons of the culinary kind. On more realistic lines it was released in May 2009. It was the first CD/DVD Combo in India...aptly titled Khooni Murga (that loosely translates to Murderous Cock). It featured 10 sex packed songs that would be way too hot to handle for even a-recently-hit-by-puberty Tiger Woods. The free bonus DVD was banned in the most inconspicuous parts of Southern Russia...but nobody cares about them anyway. It also happened to bring a lotta money to those who bought it and buried it in their backyard...so our suggestion would be to buy your copy soon.

4. When are you next out on tour?
After the much publicised (on GOD TV) and controversial departure of our lead guitarist, we have been trying to fill in the void that the absence of his super humongous ass has so unfortunately created in the space-time continuum of the Indian Rock Scene. As soon as we finalize our 4th super secret member we'll be ready to hit the scene with a vengeance. No we're not an angry bunch...vengeance is just a super cool word.

5. Your home town aside, which is your favourite city to play?
Ironically the answer to this question has got more to do with the food that the city offers rather than the support. Sorry my foodie personality just took over for a moment. We've had a super awesome time playing in Nagpur...quite a memorable gig that was. In Pune we've had chicks going "we love you riju" every single time we've played there (yes we have video proof so HAAA). Delhi's cool too. Is it just us or are Indians nice in general?

6. If you could go out on tour with any two other bands, who would you pick?
Primus and Freak Kitchen for sure.

7. What has been the funniest / most horrific thing that’s ever happened to you whilst on stage / tour?
There used to be a routine comic situation when Raj (Guitarist) was in the band. During sound check, he'd make sure that he'd bend over exactly in front of Sahil and expose his not so pretty posterior to the Demonstealer (stage moniker of Sahil) who'd writhe and shudder in pain for obvious reasons. Amongst the many funny situations we've had on stage, the funniest was when Riju (Bassist) hung his skin coloured (YES skin coloured) underpants on his bass during Channel V's Launchpad. The act detuned his bass guitar and almost got us booted out. Another time this hot chick introduced Raj Bhatt as Large Butt which led to this homo fan boy running up on stage and dry humping Raj from behind during the Solo of Pudhe Sarka. We don't really talk about that incident though.

8. What’s the best thing about being in a band?
You get to experience what having three wives is like. Come to think of it, that's quite possibly the worst thing about being in a band. You're married to guys !!! In the non fagzoidal sense of course. Seriously though, it's got to be the sheer awesomeness of being able to create something and being remembered for it. Especially in a band like Workshop, it's great to see people laugh their asses off and leave their woes behind. Sure we can't save the world from poverty and hunger but we can definitely tickle its funny boner for a bit eh.

9. What was the first record you ever bought?
Creed - Human Clay (Obviously I'm embarrassed to name Backstreet Boys...However considering this happens to be an Rock/Metal site I'll go with Creed) [I think BSB would of got you less aggro - Citizen X]

10. What’s the most embarrassing CD in your collection?
Korn (All of them), Backstreet Boys, Fantastic Females (for Sahil...I swear to God I've seen it in his collection), How to make love to a Sex Doll - An Audiobook (Thats the first CD you'll spot when you open Riju's cupboard).

11. If you had to give up music and do a different job, what would your ideal job be?
I've always fantasized being Monica Bellucci's make-up artist. Or 50 Cent's body guard. Or Bill Gates' bank account. No actually I'd much rather be Paris Hilton's brain. Think about it. I'd have to do nothing. EVER. And I'd be in the limelight 24x7 and rake in the moolah. What could possibly be better than that?

12. Tell us something you’ve never told anyone else in an interview.
You're about to be executed by the clever use of Death by Spamming. Please buy our album. We need the money. We need the love. But primarily we need your money. Please do us a favour and buy our album. Actually I lied. I usually tell this to all the interviewers and get them knocked off so they don't really live to tell the tale. But aww you can feel special for just an incy wincy bit. Oh oh oh oh and and and shhhhh this is a secret....the truth actually might be out there. Shhhhhh

13. Famous last words?
What? Last words! Why? Are we about to get abducted and transported to the Seventh Circle of Hell (namely Justin Beiber's bathroom). Oh you mean THAT way. Err okay. Buy original music, support the artists you love, stay safe and keep away from that wiener grabbing stranger....his candies probably don't taste that good anyway. I'll be Bach... you can be Mozart. Thanks for putting up with us. Signing out.
