TAD tocó en un concierto increíble en la Ciudad de las Artes de Dublín en abril de 1991 con Therapy? Había una huelga de electricidad en el momento y había el peligro de que la energía y las luces se fueran del escenario y del recinto en cualquier momento. ¿Tienes algún recuerdo de la noche?
No recuerdo los detalles de aquel día. Noche tras noche, comienza a desdibujarse todo cuando estás en la carretera tanto como nosotros estábamos en ese momento. Recuerdo haber tenido buenos momentos con Therapy? Eran buenos tíos, bastante divertidos.

Were you ever offered any more film work after your scene-stealing cameo in Cameron Crowe’s Singles?
I auditioned for a snow plough truck driver for the TV series Twin Peaks. I didn’t get the part. I did, however, get to do a milk commercial where I talked about different cuts of meat for a New Zealand dairy company whose name slips my mind.
You released a succession of great albums with TAD – do you have any regrets that more people didn’t get to hear them or are you happy with how things turned out?
I believe that the music that I get to create will find the ears that it is supposed to. I have no regrets about that at all. I lived through many years that saw many of my friends not make it out alive.
TAD played an amazing gig in Dublin’s City Arts Centre with Therapy? in April 1991. There was an electricity strike at the time and there was the danger that the power and lights would go at the show at any time. Have you any memories of the night or that visit?
I don’t recall specifics of that show. Night after night starts to blur altogether when you’re on the road as much as we were at that time. I do recall having good times with the band Therapy? They were pretty fun good dudes.
