Yet despite the impressive catalogue of punk impact he carries over his back like a bindle bowing from the weight, Keith is an unassuming figure, albeit one with a razor-sharp shrewdness that instantly puts you on high alert. As we begin our phone call, I pretend to ask a question, and without missing a beat, he offers, “Well, here’s a fake answer.” I begin to see why Nardwuar had his hands full when he interviewed him and his bandmates from OFF! in Vancouver last winter. I don’t mean he’s a caricature, or ‘whacky.’ I mean, he’s a character in the old-school sense of the word the kind of character from the days when you might call people like him a card, or eccentric. Our write-up follows further down – for the full 40-minute conversation with Keith, you can watch the below video. We managed to grab a call with the group’s infamous frontman, Keith Morris, who led the likes of Black Flag and Circle Jerks before forming this group back in 2009 with bandmate Dimitri Coats (of ex- Burning Brides fame and who also directed and starred in the film), with recent lineup additions of drummer Justin Brown ( Thundercat, Flying Lotus, Herbie Hancock) and bassist Autry Fulbright II ( …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead) rounding out the band’s current lineup. It was a jam-packed ride from start to finish, and it was also a fresh outing for a group who have been cooking up something truly otherworldly for us – their upcoming movie, Free LSD. Punk supergroup OFF! headed out on tour last month with support from Die Spitz, Upchuck, and Hong Kong Fuck You.
