Hi, we're Awful Waffle from Brick, New Jersey. We're a ska band comprised of nine strapping young lads whose influences range from Dragon Force, to Rx Bandits, to NWA. Check us out, you might like us.
Why this name?
We love old Nickelodeon television shows, and Salute Your Shorts was one of our favorites. Think of it this way...its better than "Captain Cheech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters".
Do you play live?
We've played live from places as small as The Herbertsville Firehouse, to places as large as Starland Ballroom. We love playing live, and some of our favorite moments include playing CBGB's in the heyday of the 2005 summer court trials, playing the roof of a frathouse in Boston, and playing two sold out shows at Starland Ballroom being direct local support for Badfish and Streetlight Manifesto.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
We believe that the internet and sharing of .mp3 files has changed not only the way that we discover music, but also the way that we view music in general. In the future, it might even change the way labels sign bands. With the advent of itunes and selling single songs, the industry could even revert to a singles market such as we saw in the 50's.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
We're a ska band...a major label wouldn't touch us with a ten foot pole.
Band History:
We started as a joke at the Starland Ballroom stop of the Ska is Dead 2 tour, with Mu330 and Streetlight Manifesto. I (Cheech) approached Matt with a proposition to start a new band. We started practicing in late April, played our first show on June 28th, and the rest is history.
Your influences?
We love all kinds of music, ranging from Dragon Force, to NWA, to Pain, to Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, to Mates of State. Past that, we draw highly off of pop culture references from our youth, namely old Nickelodeon television shows.
Favorite spot?
Punkhouse, without a doubt.
