Hence the fascination, which the band's new album, Born on the First of July, generally fails to produce. Live, however, Chixdiggit is a blast. It's his trademark. Most entertaining is an endless repertoire of cheesy '80s rock moves and gleeful stage patter. It's pure, deadpan satire, making Chixdiggit the Spinal Tap of punk.
Fans eat it up.
They buy records, stickers, T-shirts and loudly request favorite songs. We've joked about not playing it any more, but we're not really artists. It's not like we're whoring ourselves out when we play our hit. I don't understand why people have still kept coming to see us. But I'm not questioning it at all, because I'm having a good time.
