 I
had the pleaser to chat with Bif Naked ( Beth) before
she begin her world wide tour from her New York hotel
room. For those of you who don't know Bif Naked. It is
a name you should learn.. She is very high energy performer
and her drive will not stop. From first note to the last
she rocks. During her short career (16 years) she toured
with the Cult and Kid Rock. Bif Naked hosted her own tour
covering 18 Canadian cities. As the only only girl performing
on the main stage (other main stage acts included Green
Day, Foo Fighters and Creed) of Edgefest in Canada. This
is annual fest held every year.
UR: Hi Bif, how are you doing?
Bif: I am doing great the tour is about to start and
I am excellent about it.
UR: It is because you haven't tour in a while.
Bif: No it because we get to tour with friends of ours
from Vancouver Canada. And I am finally release my new
co "Superbeautifulmonster". This has taken
3 years of my life and it was worth it
UR: So Bif you were borne in India?
Bif: My adopted mom and dad were American missionaries.
And they moved around alot until they finally stopped
in Canada. Which I was able to go to school and have
a life.
UR: And how did you get into music? And how long have
you been playing music.
Bif: 16 years. First I was involve with musical theater.
I was asked to join the band Gorilla Gorilla, after
the singer quit. I was their first female singer, and
it was great. Other bands I have been in were Jungle
Milk, Chrome Dog, and Dying to be Violent.
UR: What type of Music was it?
Bif: World Beat
UR: You did a small stint in 1999 with Lilith Fair.
How was it?
Bif: Sarah was great. She is so nice.
UR: How is this tour going to go?
Bif: We are going to tour alot and hit all of those
cities which I haven't ever been at before. Like Chicago
(at the time of the interview Chicago was not on the
list of cities) with my boys Default.
UR: Bif it was been nice talking to you. And I have
one more question for you if you could open up for anyone
who would it be?
Bif: I would like to open up for Gwen and No Doubt...
UR: Thank you again. I and hope to see you on stage
with a couple of weeks.
