The Pogues play Roseland this Sunday. The show is sold out. Still, you might wanna read this Q&A between Jay Horton and Spider Stacy. -Ed.
Willamette Week: So you've played Portland before ...
But ... I remember ... didn't some of the Pogues play Kell's on St. Patrick's Day, back in 1995?
How's the tour?
The last shows were in the Spring?
Is there a difference in the crowds, different parts of the states?
And the LA crowd is probably more tan.
Any difference between fans in the States and fans in Japan, Australia?
And in Europe, any differences? Russia?
Sorry I mentioned the tanning. We're a very pale people, here.
Also, reading up for the interview, I didn't realize you played on [Kirtsy McColl's UK hit] “There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis”
Just after her death, it was in the news that members of the Pogues were trying to find out ...
Changing topics ... have you guys been working on any new songs?
Which have been the most popular?
After this ... more touring?
We thought there'd never be a chance of seeing you guys in Portland again.
Hopefully we can live up to it.
