Dudes. Do you fucking even realise that if it hadn't been for partying and booze, the two guys from Death From Above would probably never have met!

And do you know that means the band wouldn't exist and none of their songs would ever have been written, played live, or manufactured into CDs?

The story goes that the drummer and singer guy Sebastian Grainger was getting wasted at some kick-ass party in Halifax one time and there was some fucking girl there that wanted his attention.

So, in order to get in his good books, she went up to this kid Jesse Keeler who played bass and told him that Sebastian was her boyfriend and that he was looking for a band mate.

Fucking thing was, Sebastian didn't even know the girl and she was some complete fucking PSYCHO!

Anyway, that didn't matter because the two dudes got on really well together, sank a few brews and some whiskey and then formed the most kick-ass fucking band I have ever heard.

VICE: So you guys like to fucking throw down or what?

Jesse: Yeah, but when we go to parties we usually find that there isn't an actual "party" until at least a couple of hours into the whole thing, so we always make sure we're kind of like only halfway there when everybody is else is still starting.

Like instead of looking in the mirror and taking one thing off before you go out, you look in the mirror and have two more beers before you go out.

Right.

What's a good way to meet babes at parties?

You should start by wearing your dirtiest clothing. It's true. If you're going to be meeting ladies you want to start off at the absolute bottom, the worst you're going to be. If they like you even a little at that point then they're going to definitely like you after you've had a shower.

Does your girlfriend know that you party with all these fucking babes all the time?

Yeah, but let's not print anything about that. She'll punch me in the teeth. She's very, very hard. She could beat the shit out of me no problem.

Ok, we'll take it out of the article.
