Favorite food truck?
It’s a toss up between the grilled cheeserie in nashville, hands down. They have the best tomato bisque , and Pizza buds in nashville. They put cinnamon on the pizza, it rules.

What food do you miss while on tour?
We’re lucky to encounter pretty much every kind of good food on the road, but i’ll admit when we’re touring up north I really get to missing shrimp and grits. It’s hard to ﬁnd that stuff when you aren’t in the south.

Most shameful guilty pleasure?
Eating a chili cheese hot dog. Happens about 4 times a year.

What’s the ﬁrst food you eat when you get home from tour?
Spicy catﬁsh sandwich with spagetti and mac n cheese!

What food is on your backstage rider? Or what food do you wish was on your backstage rider?
I wish we could have spicy catﬁsh or shrimp waiting for us everywhere.

What’s the weirdest thing you have eaten on tour?
Black chicken. What the hell?

What’s the best food city and why?
Asheville, NC wins without question. Every deli, market, or restaurant has food that has been very delicately prepared by people who care about food with all local ingredients. Particularly the Home Grown Cafe

Regular or Diet?
Neither, I want water unless I’m chasing whiskey with dr.pepper.

Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Raw?
We appreciate all food types all the time. I can’t say we’re big on gluten free though.

What’s for breakfast?
Apple and oranges juice.

Best non-alcoholic drink?
Codeine syrup

Spicy or Mild?
Spicy!

What’s on your bar tab?
Southern Comfort or Jameson.

What’s for dessert?
Smores!

What is the worst dish you have seen on a menu?
A big mac! It’s like eatin dog turds in between some bread!

Best fast food?
I can’t eat fast food. When we go to fast food places I usually get crackers from the gas station or some fries.

Favorite cocktail? How do you make it?
1.5 oz gin, 1 oz. tonic water and some basil/mint, but you have to muddle the herbs properly for maximum effect.

Are you adventurous or stick to trusted favorites?
Always be adventurous, especially when on tour. You never know what kind of special gems little restaurants will have all over the country.

Coffee? How do you take it?
I don’t take it, I can’t drink caffeine.

Do you like to cook?
Sometimes, when at home I usually cook a few times a week.

Favorite recipe?
Spicy tofu coconut red curry. You’ll love me if I get to feed you some.

Favorite condiment?
Hot sauce or vodka sauce.

Favorite midnight snack?
Chicken ﬂavored ramen noodles or sunﬂower butter with honey in a tortilla.

Do you eat for pure taste or nutritional value?
Both, I like to eat foods that make me feel good, but it’s so tempting to eat fried foods down here!

What do you eat before you hit the stage?
A couple shrimp and a shot of whiskey!

If your sound had a taste, what would it taste like?
Spicy, smoked pulled pork sandwich with some jalapeno cornbread, or smoked brisket, or chicken. Really, anything that is smoked, and spicy. It would taste just like it sounds – like the south.

Do any of your songs conjure thoughts of food? If so, which ones? and what would it taste like?
As a whole, our latest EP “I Can’t Slow Down” reminds one of the most twisted, demented Christmas dinners you have ever had in the slums of louisiana or something. You won’t eat again until the new year. The third track “Animal” speciﬁcally sounds like a deep fried turkey. Crispy as hell on the outside; tender, juicy and full of crazy ﬂavor once you dig in deep.

Anything else you want to add?
Keep your head and your belly full and everything will work out, always.
Spicy catﬁsh rules! Fuck mcdonalds!

Bad Cop’s Weekend in Georgia

Bad Cop in ATL. before the WonderRoot show.

Bad Cop are in the middle of two nights in the sweet state of Georgia where they played last night at the WonderRoot Arts Center with The Humms, Ghost Bikini, and Dead People. Today (9/10/11) they head up to Athens to play a free all-ages show with Timmy Tumble & The Tumblers (who sound like Elvis Costello underwater and looks like a cross between Brian Wilson and Will Oldham).

Here is a pretty great flyer from Georgia and a gift from Fingers Crossed Records
