CATATONIA

Brash, outspoken, and surprisingly loose-lipped Catatonian Cerys Matthews doesn’t mince words when faced with the prospect of your mild-mannered Q&A. Sucking back a margarita between the questions of executive editor Dave DiMartino, the Welsh chanteuse bluntly offered up the fact that she and her male bandmates don’t like each other, that she often forgets her lyrics while performing, and that she tends to trip over equipment and fall down onstage. Rock on, sister!
