This strikes me as a little bit of a haunted album since it’s the first one since Dave Rosser’s death, and then also since your close friend and collaborator Mark Lanegan dying, though he was alive during the recording of it. How did Dave’s absence hang over the whole thing? Was it hard to reproduce what he brought to the table? GREG DULLI:Honestly...
How did you and Mark first meet? DULLI:We first met in I want to say ’89? And we did not get along. Later we ran into each other somewhere in Pioneer Square in Seattle, and that was the first time we just kind of stood and talked alone. I don’t even think that cellphones were a thing yet when we talked, so there wasn’t any kind of “Hey, here’s my n...
As a Columbus resident, I wanted to ask about your history of collaborations with Marcy Mays, who co-leads Scrawl and founded the great Columbus music venue Ace Of Cups among other things. I used to write about the local music scene here, and the video of you guys performing “My Curse” together at Reading Festival is often circulated around Faceboo...
I was able to find one video on YouTube of your pre-Whigs band Black Republicans. It has like 240 views and two comments. So if I understand correctly, you were living in LA, and then you decided to move back to Cincinnatito start a band? What’s the logic there? DULLI: I was living in LA in 1984 and moved back because of a family emergency, and I h...
For this movie about the Beatles’ early years in Germany, you were part of an alt-rock all-star band including Soul Asylum’s Dave Pirner (as the voice of Paul McCartney), Black Flag’s Henry Rollins (as the voice of Stuart Sutcliffe), Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore, Nirvana’s Dave Grohl, R.E.M.’s Mike Mills, and Gumball’s Don Fleming. Did you have any...
Did recording with Grohl for Backbeatlead to you playing on the first Foo Fighters album? DULLI: It was probably based on that. I first met Dave backstage at the Palace [in Los Angeles] when Nirvana played on the Nevermind tour — like the early part before they were knocking Michael Jackson out of the top spot on Billboard. I met him in a passing w...
You mentioned your friendship with Ted Demme. Were you already friendly with him before this project came around? DULLI:Ted went to high school with my girlfriend at the time, and the three of us went out to eat at an Indian restaurant in New York. They both went to high school on Long Island. The first time I met Ted Demme, we were best friends in...
One time at SXSW I saw you perform with Usher. How did that come about? DULLI: I know that Andy at Fader, they did Fader Fort, and they would always have weird mashups and stuff. I was actually in Australia recording with Steve Kilbey from the Church, and my manager called me, and he was like, “Hey, do you want to play SXSW?” And I was like, “Absol...
You signed to Sub Pop just as it was picking up a lot of heat. When did you become aware of the label? DULLI: I was aware of Sub Pop because I think I heard a Soundgarden song. But “Touch Me I’m Sick,” that was when I was like, “Oh, what’s going on here?” And then subsequently heard Bleach. And no lie, I was like, “There’s the band right there.” Yo...
