Amanda: Someone who likes it. Finally! It causes us lots of obnoxious interview questions. Like, "Do you prefer moccasins or sneakers?" or "Are you Native American?" or "Do you wear feather headresses?" It's just different. it came to me in a dream. I'm not Native American.Diva: She likes it cause it's a pun. She's really into puns. Did you study literature?
Amanda: Yeah. You go to college and what do you come away with? An appreciation of puns… What was the dream about?
It was a really stupid dream. I was sitting on the couch and I turned to my husband, who was next to me, and said, "I'm going to start a group called Pocahaunted." And he was like, "OK." And then the dream finished. That's actually the only question I have. It's not even a question, it's just a statement. You have the best band name ever.
Yes, I like that! I don't have to answer it. "Yes. I do." I got a funny email the other day, like, "You white girls need to get real, you don't know anything about being Native Americans…" Did you write back?
I wrote back and I was like, "OK, cool." I mean, what am I supposed to say? I'd take it really seriously. You could end up as a target for that Native American terrorist movement.
I didn't know there was one!? Yeah, the American Indian Movement. They were big in the 70s Listen, maybe you should ask one of them to join the band. To give you "indian" credibility.
Yeah, we'll do that. "Hey, I'm sorry, come on stage with us…" She could sort out your makeup. I find that it's more aborigine than Native American.
Diva: There's the way that we are before we perform, and the makeup is like getting us nervous and excited for the performance.
Amanda: We're putting more and more on every night. For the last show I might just paint my face white. I'd be careful with that. You might get shit from mime artists.
Amanda: Yeah, I'll get another email: "You girls better get real, you have no idea what it's like on the streets for mimes." PAUL GEDDIS
