DEVIL'S ISLAND featuring Premier Jester
Welcome to this weeks edition of Devil's Island! Every week we maroon a band or artist on the island and see what they get up to, how they cope with being all alone on a small island in the middle of the ocean. It's not your average desert island and we'll see just how each person copes with the extreme conditions.
This week when we arrived at Devil's Island we find Premier Jester sat on the beach. The island is far from their home, so how did they end up here and how did they cope with life on Devil's Island?
Find out now...
Welcome to The Razors'e Edge and our somewhat lovely, warm desert island. Don't worry about it's name I'm sure it's not as bad as that would suggest.
You're marooned here on this island, but before you ended up shipwrecked you chose one album that you couldn't live without. Which album did you each chose and why?
Bananas and bBow by Ween, not even an album, just the single and play it on repeat all day every day and just pray that there’s some bananas and some blow somewhere on the island.
Just behind that palm tree is a shack for each of you to stay in, with enough space for you to put up a poster on the wall of one album cover. What album cover do you each chose?
I guess it needs to be the most reflective album cover there is cause I mean if I’ve only got room for a poster if it’s shiny enough that I can use it as a mirror and also as a signal device to help get me off the island that would be good.
There's also a bar on this here island. But alas each of you only get to choose one drink for the entirety of your stay. What's your tipple of choice?
That’s a tough one because like if I said I want a cup of tea then I mean technically that multiple ingredients isn’t it there’s water there’s teabag there’s milk there’s sugar so I mean a cup of tea would be good if I feel like that’s almost cheating and as well, it’s gonna be hot if it’s a desert island so probably want milk, especially if I get heartburn milk for the calories and protein.
Your suitcases were lost when your ship sank, but you each managed to salvage one item of band merch. What’s the merch and for what band?
I think it’s gonna have to be some PJ merch! Come on representing do you want me to freeze to death in the Desert island? No, we should all be representing ourselves so when a helicopter comes in that they’ll see us and who’s that and then they see that we are premier jester plus obviously I know it’s super high-quality and it will keep me nice and warm on those cool island nights, merch available on our website 😉
You’re sat on the island thinking “I’m stuck here on this island with my bandmates for eternity”… who would you rather have been shipwrecked with?
Well, I mean I guess I could think of worse people to be stranded with then the guys, but if I could choose anyone at all, hmmm it’s a tough one. I mean, probably someone with a vagina realistically (other than Jonah) although just saying that I can already foresee issues down the line so maybe just bear grills to help us survive and drink our piss.
There's a walkman in your pocket, on the tape inside is the recording of the one live show that stands out for you. It could be any show, from any band, anywhere in the world. What show is on that walkman?
The Avicci tribute concert, although that could make me perpetually sad for eternity but the raw emotion in the air and the performances are so heart felt and a good variety of bangers, some of which would be lit on a desert island.
You're getting desperate, you decide the only course of action is to put a message in a bottle and hope someone finds it. Your message could be to any member of any band, but should be the most suitable for a rescue attempt. Who is it?
Well this is kind of bs because the best person to send a bottle too for rescue would be literally myself so I mean I could chuck it out and then walk out and grab it and read the message in the bottle, and then rescue myself but seems kind of up obtuse, so I’ll go with Willie Nelson and hope he brings some supplies for the journey home.
You've been stuck here a while and food supplies are running low. There's only one thing for it... which fellow band member gets sacrificed to help the others survive?
So, my very first thought was (not sure why) but definitely 100% Adam, but then thinking about it he probably tastes a bit like Polish sausage which isn’t terrible but it’s not my favourite flavour. So logically probably Chris just because he’s like the meatiest you know, and he’s got massive calves so just a single calve alone could feed all of us for like a week, so if we could like preserve him and make him into some Chris jerky or something, like dry him out in the Sun so he doesn’t go bad then yeah we could survive for some time - sorry Chris, your death will not be in vain.
Finally, when the ship sank you each managed to save one person from the wreckage. That person is the one musician that has influenced your career the most, shaped your way of thinking and your outlook on life. Who did you save?
So for me it’s gotta be James Hetfield because he’s realistically the dude that made me wanna sing and play guitar myself and be a duuuuude.
