This week's interviewee is lead singer/guitarist Neb from the brilliant Glasgow band Playtone. The band were forced to change their original name of 'Plankton' as it was also the name of the local fishmonger's band made up of several shops from the West of Scotland (they played sole music he he). Neb changed the name after an agreement was struck that meant that they were entitled to free fish suppers after every gig in the Port Glasgow area (salt n' sauce not included).




I don’t really care for music.


If you were born on December the 25th would you expect two sets of presents?
What would Jesus do?
Don't you hate it when people ruin chocolate by putting nuts and stuff in it?
Yes, but I like it when they improve chocolate by putting nuts and stuff in it.

Fancy Dress? - What shall I go as?
Anne Franks Diary

Would you ever pose "in the buff" for an art class?

Question is, have they got a big enough canvas? For my ego I mean...

What would be your dream gig you would like to attend?
I don’t really care for music. But assuming I did, to be honest I’m not one of these people who wishes all the dead people would return, I think there’s lots of inspiring musicians still alive. And I have probably seen all the people I love. I would love to see Aerosmith actually, that would be a great experience, I think the rest of the band would agree.
How can I best fight "the man" today?
By thinking your own thoughts and being the chief composer in your own symphony of behaviours.

If you had to give up one album from your collection what would it be and why?
Korn - Untouchables. Don’t ask….. Or maybe Cliff Richard - Wired For Sound.
Should I be worried that my new doctor's name is Dr Savage?
Its ok, he’s fine - I checked him out with my general practitioner Dr Shipman Jnr

I'm making up goody bags. What do you want in yours?
Everyone else’s goody bag
Do you wanna see my monkey?
We have all seen it you disgusting little man.
