How often do you play out?

Brother Ed: We play out too much.

Brother Ant: Word up to Brother Ed... but clubs keep asking, so we keep giving. As the Bible says: "Ask and ye shall receive". We tell clubs, "Ask and ye shall receive... Uncle Scratch for about three-hundred dollars".

Brother Ed: Three-hundred?!? You been telling me two-hundred!!! You got something to tell me??

Brother Ant: No comment.


Any memorable gigs you've played, funny stories, etc.?

Brother Ant: It's been a beautiful time, but highlights are playing with some of the great folks out there, like Brother Bob Log III, Lemmy and the Headcat, Throw Rag... the list goes on.
Funny story: This one comes to mind... We showed up at a club on a Friday, but our show was on Saturday! Who said holy rollers can't be airheads once in a while? [That is funny! --Sinister]

Brother Ed: It seems that all of our shows are a blur of chaos. They all blend together these days.

Brother Ant: That's what happens when you drink too much Jesus juice before a show... Everything becomes a blur and you wake up the next morning with someone else's underwear on.


Who are some other bands you enjoy gigging with?

Brother Ed: We went on a mini tour with Bob Log III. He is the best... We love the Log. We love playing with Throw Rag, Whiskey Daredevils, and Cult of the Psychic Fetus.

Brother Ant: Some a' them are devil-bands, but we just turn the other cheek (Matthew 5:39).


Where do you see Uncle Scratch's Gospel Revival in 5 years? 10 years?

Brother Ed: Dead, up in Heaven with Johnny Cash.

Brother Ant: Shit, heaven better happen sooner than that or I'll be pissed!

Brother Ed: Amen, Brother.


Any advice for other bands out there trying to make a name for themselves?

Brother Ant: My advice is, if your band has 4 members in it, kick out 2 of 'em, find Jesus, make some crappy equipment, and the rest should come easy.

Brother Ed: I couldn't have said it any better. Brother Ant, you are a true blessing. Amen.
