Where does the name Gluball come from and what other existing

Its a subatomic particle which is made up of Gluons which
together form protons and neutrons of the atom - gluons bind themselves to
form lumps of pure energy - known in the trade as GLUEBALLS. Other band names
we rate, Death By Stoning and Kill My Mom Slowly.
What is the best and worst gig you have done? And what is
the funniset thing that has happened whilst touring?
Best gig for me was Manchester Roadhouse with Flogging
Molly cos the crowd held me up whileIi kicked the ceiling in! (Jonny). Funniest
moment was Tim jumping out of the van barefoot in the morning as we were
parked in an illegal bay and he landed first in my piss and then jumped into
my puke he then drove us still drunk 2 miles to find an legal parking space
not knowing there was one 2 yards away! Also trying to throw a tv out of
a closed window at a hotel and it just bounced back and nearly broke my foot!
Also pissing in the lobby oh theres too many!!!
What is the favourite song (and what band is it by) of each
member of the band?
Tim - Speed Slave - White Speed
Jonny - Mouth Breather - Jesus Lizard
Rob- Comfortably Dumb - Pink Floyd
Clive - You Keep Me Hanging On - Diana Ross
What is the strangest thing that has inspired your lyrics,
and what are the main themes?
Strangest thing is the thought "Can a grown woman
truly love a midget", inspiration for "Freakshow". Main inspirations
for songs are hate, depression and anger - nice bunch aint we!
What is punk scene like in your area, and what can people
do to make it better?
In Reading its pretty shit but overall in the Berkshire
area its great. Main thing to make it better is too stop the old school punks
from going on about how great the eighties were (the time not the music)
cos it was shit!
Plans, gigs and releases planned for 2003.
Releases see - above.
Loads of gigs coming up check www.glueball.biz -
