L&K reveals all...

L&K March 1999

______________________________

Did your band ever have another name?
Scott - We called ourselves The Moffatt Family at first, then The Moffatt Brothers and then we settled on The Moffatts.

Do people keep comparing you to Hanson?
Bob - It happens for obvious reasons. They've sold millions of records worldwide so we don't take it badly at all. We think Hanson are great 'cause they're a real live band.
Scott - We're different from Hanson as well 'cause they're more bluesy, where as we're more rock influenced.

Are you all really competitive?
Scott - Yeah! we certainly are!
Dave - I like fighting games on PlayStation!
Clint - The rest of us don't play the fighthing games so that means Dave never has any competition and he always wins, which he likes!
Scott - I think fighting games can brainwash young kids into thinking they're combat fighters. They'll go around with weapons and start hitting people on the streets!
Dave - Hee-yah! (Jumps around doing karate style kicks!)

Do you ever wish you had some sisters?
Bob - We've always wanted a younger sister 'cause they're so cute. But they don't stay that way!
Clint - Yeah we could throw her up and down in the air and stuff - she might be sick though!

You guys sound too soppy to be rock'n'roll...
Dave - Oh we're not soppy!
Clint - No, but you should see Scott when he sees a little baby - he's like, "Oooh, coochy coochy coo!"
Scott - No, I am the man of the band!
Bob - Hardly! Scott's got the least amount of hair on his chest!
Scott - Right!

When you make it big does the idea of girls following you around the country scare you?
Scott - When we go back to America, it's gonna be really quiet 'cause the single hasn't been released there yet. I don't think people will know who we are!
Clint - Some girls have embarrassing photos of us though. When we lived in Canada these girls had a picture of Dave sitting in a sandpit playing with a Barbie doll! He was about four or five.
Bob - Every Christmas he used to ask for the newest Barbie doll!
Scott - He used to brush their hair and plait it!

Who gets in trouble the most?
Dave - Scott gets into the least trouble!
Scott - Hey! who are you tryin' to kid?
Dave - That's because he whines when he gets into trouble.
Bob - Scott's like, "Aaahhh, you know I didn't do it, it was them!"
Scott - Dave's the whiner, I just won't deal with that man!

Do you get embarrassed when girls throw their underwear on stage?
Scott - We try to out the things on!
Clint - Scott takes off his shirt and throws it into the audience in return.
Bob - Our fans throw their mum's bras at us! You can tell they're not theirs'!

- End -
