Brian Case (FACS)

Who are you most excited to see at Caterwaul?

Case: So many friends are playing, I wish were could be there for the whole thing. Purely based on band names I’d say Moon Pussy or Gaytheist,

Who would you like to collaborate with or start a cover band with at Caterwaul and why?

Case: Nick Sakes and I are starting a Wire cover band.

What was your first favorite band?

Case: Probably Guns N’ Roses if I’m being honest.

Have you ever had performance anxiety? What is your secret weapon?

Case: Solo performances are completely terrifying for me,but also exhilarating to be in such a familiar environment in that state. No secret weapon.

What’s the best part of playing an all day/multiple day festival or gathering? And conversely, what is the worst part of doing it?

Case: It’s great to be a part of the circus, worst part is playing at 1 AM.

Bonus multiple choice: Replacements, Husker Du, Halo of Flies or Prince?

Case: Replacements 100%.
