I just had the pleasure of interviewing Miss Exene Cervenka, whom I found refreshingly candid and no-nonsense and a bit of a shit-talker ("the Spheeris movies were a cartoon," "I don't consider myself part of any scene right now; the scene in Southern California is really unsupportive and I don't wanna be any part of it"). Her show last night (with her new band, the Original Sinners) was great fun -- a really energetic, passionate hybrid of country, rockabilly, punk, and blues. More on that later...
