So you think it’s cute to whip out your little sausage roll and hold it up to a bum while you flash the camera a toothy grin? You like laughing at the homeless? You probably don’t even know that you can get instant penis cancer from touching their crust-covered 49ers jackets. Who’s laughing now?

You girls think that men are grossed out by your period-stained-hazy-hangover-Sunday boxer shorts, but you're dead wrong. They make us knock-kneed with horniness, and we have no idea why. Any theories? Comments/Enlarge | See all

BIG LIARS

The Mint Chicks Learn the Art of Truth

Photo by Briony Wright

So, I don’t know the first thing about New Zealand. All I’ve got is sheep, green hills and the Datsuns and out of those three I’m sticking with the sheep (sorry John). Then, out of nowhere The Mint Chicks show up and make us realise that we really should have looked harder.

So what’s going on in Auckland?

Kody: Ahh, not that much.

Ruben: It’s a lot like Melbourne but smaller and not that good.

So in the media training that your label gave you, what sort of shit did they tell you not to say?

Kody: They told us not to be stupid.

Ruben: The reason they put us on the media training is because for the first interview that we did on tv, we just told lies.

What lies?

Ruben: We said that we were never signed to Flying Nun. And there’s this thing called the b.Net Music Awards that we were nominated for and said that we had never heard of them and then we told them we were going to quit the band and fuck off to Hawaii and learn to surf.

So what’s going on with the whole shy, emo not talking off stage but being a fucking lunatic and swearing at the crowd on stage thing?

Ruben: I dunno. I talk.

The Mint Chicks’ first release will be a split 7” (blue vinyl) on Flying Nun Records featuring ‘Blue Team Go’ from The Mint Chicks and ‘Blue’ by Whirlwind Heat.
