If J Mascis and Shania Twain started a band together after Armageddon, it would sound like Drug Couple – an actual couple, Becca and Miles, who met and fell in love in 2016 while working on the record for Becca’s former project. Since then, they have written and recorded their debut EP Little Hits<\/em> and a forthcoming follow-up, Choose Your Own Apocalypse<\/em>, while microdosing LCD together. You can check out their dream punk ballads at Baby’s All Right on 1\/29 with Edna and Coy Sterling. We chatted with them about their dream roadside attractions, upcoming wedding, and plans to harness the power of mind control in 2020.<\/p>\n AF: What was your first ever show like? What was your most memorable show of 2019?<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n DC: The first time we played together was actually for M\u2019s solo stuff, opening up for Chairlift in Red Hook; the first time we played as our own project was a house show on the Fourth of July at B\u2019s childhood home in Vermont. Our most memorable show of 2019 was probably when we played at Camp Here Here<\/a>, a very cool place in the Catskills.<\/p>\n AF: If you could play with any band alive or dead who would it be? What band would you want to play your wedding?<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n DC: Fucking OASIS! We\u2019re actually getting married this summer, and the plan is to have the afterparty be a big ass show with a bunch of our friends playing throughout the night. Yo La Tengo would be pretty cool though too.<\/p>\n AF: Do you prefer microdosing on shrooms or LSD? How does microdosing contribute to your songwriting\/recording process?<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n DC: DEFINITELY the latter. We were pretty into it while we were writing and recording the last record, but it\u2019s been a minute.<\/p>\n AF: What album would listen to as your soundtrack to the apocalypse?<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n DC: We wrote our second EP, Choose Your Own Apocalypse<\/em> (that we\u2019ll be releasing this Spring) as a sort of a soundtrack to the impending apocalypse. It\u2019d probably be pretty stressful though so maybe just some Sam Cooke or Neil Young. We\u2019d say Al Green…but then things get all sexy and you\u2019ve really gotta focus on minute-to-minute survival in that kinda situation.<\/p>\n AF: When you go on tour, what will your first road-side attraction visit be?<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n DC: M is a fast food connoisseur and B\u2019s never had Wendy\u2019s, Taco Bell, Hardee\u2019s, or Whataburger. So those. Also looking forward to Walmart and hanging out in all those gigantic roadside gas and food centers on 80 in Ohio. This is M\u2019s idea of a good time fwiw.<\/p>\n AF: Beyond that, what are your plans for 2020?<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n DC: Make beautiful things together that we can be proud of forever. Harness the power of mind-control. Become the surprise late entry candidates in the Presidential election that capture the hearts and minds of a nation and, after winning, save the world from its imminent destruction by being able to actually explain our fucking ideas and plans with a shred of believability, coherence, and authenticity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
