So, after arriving early, waiting ages for the Birmingham academy people to find the PR guy, then waiting ages for the PR guy to find Sugarcult, (who were in their dressing room) and after pushing past Benji (Madden, Good Charlotte), and kicking Joel (Madden, also Good Charlotte) out of Sugarcult's dressing room, I finally got to do my interview with Sugarcult's Tim, Airin and Marko, at the Birmingham Academy where they were supporting Good Charlotte.

What do you guys usually do for Christmas?

Tim: we've forgotten how to celebrate Christmas I think but err, egg nog,
Airin: lots of egg nog
Tim: lots of egg nog, some people do it with the liquor, but I don't like the liquor I think it screws up the egg nog.
Airin: I would agree
Tim: Erm, just the usual fun stuff. Fight Santa at malls,
Airin: hang out with family
Tim: Hang out with family
Airin: spend way too much money on meaningless items
Tim: one year, I bought my mum bread. I got my ass kicked for that. I thought I was being a smart ass.

What or when was your favourite Christmas ever?

Tim: mine was when I got a toy drum set, I think I was like eight or nine years old... oh god no I was ten years old and I got a drum set for Christmas
Airin: I dunno, I like them all

How did you come to be supporting Good Charlotte?

Tim: they're friends of ours that we met on the warped tour two years ago and we kind of keep in touch you know and they're friends of ours and it works out

Who's your favourite band to tour with?

Tim: well if I say then all the other bands that we've toured with will be upset. But some of the stand up favourite tours, every tour is different, cus every band has different people. Bands are different cus obviously music is different but whole bands vibes are completely different thing, and I would say, reel big fish was a band that stood out because they had so many people in the band that they're kind of like covered the palette in terms of like
Airin: personality
Tim: types of personality, if your like in the mood to like hang out with a wild zany guy then you'd go to like Scott or then if you were like wanted to just like chill out and talk about how the US government is bullies you'd talk to
Airin: Dan
Tim: Dan.
Airin: Carlos their drummer was like into nerdy music recording stuff so I found id hang out with him, you know what I mean, like they had the bases covered. Plus they are the only band that we've met on tour that was willing to like gang out with us and all ten of us could make it happen, its sum thing of a lost art that you don't see anymore
Airin: we just make it happen
Tim: I think me n Airin are the most seductive members of Sugarcult [everyone laughs] we make things happen around here!

[Marko walks in]

Airin: heeeyyy

What has been the highlight of the year?

Airin: when I went to Hawaii
Tim: band related or like...?

Anything really...

Tim: highlight of this week, let's just start with that. I stole my friend's margarita recipe off her and err...
Airin: we got to hang out in London and play some shows
Tim: but let me tell you this margarita recipe, that I have now, Erm, its so good by the time you've had five of them you're speaking Spanish, that's how good it is

Have you managed to get on any more film soundtracks recently?

Tim: no it sucks because those pay really well and me and Airin are kind running really low on funds, if you hear of any new teen movies which are really shitty coming out let us know cus we'll send then our record and they'll probably put 5 songs on it
Airin: hey!
Tim: actually no no, some of those films are pretty good, our songs are always funny

Is that how you usually get on, you just send your record off?

Tim: I don't know, it's kind of like a whole different brain that handles Sugarcult shit, we handle the music and then there's a whole squad of people you know, that look like cops

Have you got any new material coming out soon?

Tim: yes tons, tons! I never thought you'd ask that question
Airin: yes
Tim: it should be coming out early next year I think

What are you doing for New Year?

Airin: playing in San Diego
Tim: Marko is... yeah playing in San Diego, Marko is having a party for new years so...
Marko: yeah ten days before new years i'm having a party at my place, you guys are all invited!

Are you gonna have the margarita there?

Marko: yeah [laughs]

If you were a chair who would you want to sit on you and why?

[Stunned silence]

Tim: I mean that could lend itself to such perverted answers, are you sure your ready to let me answer it?
Airin: go for it
Tim: I mean we have young fans, I'm not about to scare them
Marko: you just give her the stock answer that we tell everybody when they ask us that question, kylie minogue with no panties on cus she's totally hot and she's in her thirties and girls in their thirties are in their sexual prime so why not?
[Silence]
Marko: or we could make something up!
Airin: Santa Clause!
Tim: Santa Clause... this year, yeah I'd say that's a better answer, because you know, because, maybe you know...
Airin: or Jesus Christ
Tim: Oh dude! Don't go there!
Marko: don't talk about JC man
Tim: Airin, I'm gonna get electrocuted now for saying that now in the show. The lord works in mysterious ways
Airin: or Elvis

If you starred in the remake of a movie, which would it be, who would you be and why?

Tim: Marty McFly from Back to the Future!

Everyone says that

Tim: everyone says that?
Airin: we win!
Tim: I would say something else like Buffy the vampire-
Airin: he just wants to feel her tits Tim: hey ok no... I dunno... Rocky? When he kicks the Russian's ass. Marko? [Silence] Marko: oh... what was the question?

If you starred in the remake of a movie, which would it be, who would you be and why?

Marko: oh it would be desperately seeking Susan and I would be, Erm...
Airin: Madonna?
Marko: Madonna so I could hang out with Roseanne Arquette
Tim: oh yeah she was way hot. Erm...

What's the worst hairstyle you've ever had?

Tim: the one I have right now... it really partially received, they either like it or they wanna kick my ass
[Silence]
[Laughter as Tim pulls a face when no-body disagrees]

What have you got planned for next year?

Marko: well we were gonna tour a lot, like non stop kind of thing again Erm so I think we'll just do that
Tim: our records gonna come out so we just wanna be as busy as possible, what's really cool lately about Sugarcult is that we've been going over here and then going to Japan all the time now and we might be branching out to Australia Erm so I don't know we wanna kind of like spread the seed far and wide.

Cool, and is there anything you want to say to our lovely readers?

Tim: Erm...
Airin: hello
Marko: we care
Airin: how ya doin?
Tim: come to Marko's party how about that?
[Laughter]
Tim: come to Marko's party and err we'll sneak you some spiked egg nog

That was the end of the interview, thanks to all the guys for taking time to answer the questions. And to Marko for trying to eat my hair...again...I'm sure we'll hear from those guys again in the summer.
