Morrissey was mentioned a couple of times in an interview of Dear Leader's guitarist Aaron Perrino in Monday's Gothamist blog. Dear Leader is a Boston-based band made up of members of the former band Sheila Divine. Those of you who caught Morrissey on the 2000 Oye Esteban! tour on the East Coast may remember Sheila Divine as the superb support act for Morrissey at the Boston Avalon shows, Portland's State Theater, DC's 9:30 Club shows and NY's Beacon Theater.
Here are the Morrissey-relevant bits:
Q:What is your favorite/least favorite memory involving New York?
A:My favorite memory was my old band The Sheila Divine opening for Morrissey at the Beacon Theater. To get to play in a historic venue with one of your favorite childhood idols was incredible. Even better was that despite the Mozs explicit request that no meat products could be in the building, they sold hotdogs in the lobby.
Q:Who would be in your ultimate music supergroup, your all-star Olympic team of rock?
A:Vocals-Morrissey
Guitar-Will Sergeant (Echo and The Bunnymen)
Guitar-Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine)
Bass-Kim Deal (The Pixies)
Drums-Paul Buckley (Dear Leader)
