Pamparius has NO FRIENDS

Here at pamparius, we are into all things rad. When we heard No Friends was playing the bike lot, we knew we had to attend. Not only were we delighted with a night of BMX spectating, loud, obnoxious rock’n'roll and tons of cheap beer, we were able to get a few words with Richard, drummer from No Friends and his thoughts on pizza. The interview was imprompto and hardly recorded in a way fit for posterity, but it went something like this:

Pamparius: Why do you have a pizza drawn on your snare head?

Richard: Because pizza is my life!

Pamparius: What makes pizza your life?

Richard: I delivered pizzas for 10 years.

Pamparius: Who did you deliver for?

Richard: Papa Johns

Pamparius: Ah that fucking sucks man!

Richard: Ya it does but it was the only way to tour.

Pamparius: Well what do you think of Papa John’s pizza?

Richard: It’s bland as shit – BUT – the ingredients are fresh, bland but fresh.

Pamparius: What was cool about working at Papa John’s?

Richard: Me, Sam(Guitar) and Alex(Bass) worked in an Orlando Papa John’s all at the same time.

Pamparius: Holy shit, that must have been crazy. What was the craziest thing you guys ever did?

Richard: One time we made an 18 foot long breadstick. Everyone had to hold it up. It was so long that it went over the make line and all the way into the lobby.

Pamparius: Haha, awesome, have you had any pizza on the tour at  all yet?

Richard: Ya but it was all pretty shitty.

Pamparius: Where was your favorite?

Richard: Some place in Raleigh, they made organic pizza.

Pamparius: What is your favorite pizza place ever?

Richard: Anthony’s Adriatic pizza is out of this world Adriatic pizza in Orlando.

Pamparius: We will have to check that out. If you could sum up the tour with one sentence what would it be?

Richard: Not enough pizza, actually, fueled by pizza…

*brief hesitation*

Richard: …and mexican food.
