page 7 Dive Party-V As we love to do each semester, Diversions presents a night of Chapel Hill's best rock 'n' roll at Local 506. Here are a few questions to get everyone acquainted. 1 {" Schooner is a Carrboro-based band. After the release of two stellar albums, it has perfected the Indie popsaund. Who is a bigger fan ofyour band, Joe the Plumber orJoe Six Pack? This is a tricky question. While we’re sure Joe Six Pack would really love to have a beer with us, we have to remember that Joe the Plumber would fare much better under our tax policy. I guess it really just comes down to both Joes overcoming their unsubstanti ated fears and prejudices perpetuated by the main rags that focus on trivial matters and hyped-up gimmicks that have no bearing on what is actually important in music. If you had to compare your band to candy, what brand would it be and why? Sugarcubes. Oh, I’m sorry—l thought you meant what band. Sugarcubes. Tell the real story behind your band name. Not the PC one, the real one. Nothing too interesting. Unfortunately it involves lying on the floor of an old apartment all emotive and stuck and being struck by some existential poetical device. Also it's a fun word to say. What was your favorite childhood book? *The Monster at the End ofThis Book." I think I still have to remind myself that there isn't a monster there. If promised a cabinet position from the next President which would you want? Obama/Biden Secretary of Transportation; McCain/Palin —Secretary of Fear and Hate How excited are you about the Dive party? I don't want to work; I just want to bang on the drum all day. Looking forward to it Go vote. 1 Violet Vector & . HH theLove^Lovelies_^^H Violet Vector might just be Chapel Hill's funnest band. In combining the sweetness of '6os girl-group pop with infectious punk rock spunk, the band will slap a smile on your face so hard that it might hurtjust a bit. Who is a bigger fan of your band, Joe the Plumber or Joe Six Pack? Cathleen (Keyser) says we'd have to go with Joe Six Pack because we have a very strict anti-crack policy. If you had to compare your band to candy, what brand would it be and why? I think we would be Tropical Starbursts. You know, it's like a star... bursting with fruit flavor... in a rainbow of colors, it’s the best candy so of course I want to be that Skittles also rule because they say “taste the rainbow' but Starbursts are just more... substantial. You can really get into it. Although, Werther's Originals are quite popular in WLL as well. Tell the real story behind your band name. Not the PC one, the real one. I wanted a band name that sounded like Captain Groovy and his Bubblegum Army. Pretty much anything that followed that pattern of two words combined with two other words, with an “and" in the middle, it makes you sound iike you are a ton of people and you mean business. The rest was just filling in the blanks with wgi&iw' liked. The idea of a violet vector just came into my head and made me think of a giant glittering purple ray of light beaming down from space. What celebrity would you most like to eat dinner with? Right now, I'd have to say Kevin Barnes from of Montreal... I didn't like them for a long time but the show they just played here absolutely blew my mind and now it's all I want to hear. It's so weird and imaginative and catchy. Also, Jimmy Page.

Hershey's Kiss, a chocolatey classic Tell the real story behind your band name. Not the PC one, the real one. We were talking about Indian food and it just came out. An exclamation of joy. What celebrity would you most like to eat dinner with? Mark Wahlberg: 'Four Brothers" is a big inspiration for us. What was your favorite childhood book? . “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs."
