Deez Nuts

With Prom Queen dead and buried, JJ Peters has turned his focus to a new musical venture. Who knows, if you lighten up and remember music is supposed to be fun you might even like it!?

Interview w/ JJ from

“Deez Nuts” by Cameron Chambers

2007 

Name, what you do in the band

and your favourite drink? 

JJ Peters - everything - Old English

40oz’s 

“Deez Nuts” sounds nothing

a while? 

To be honest I wasn’t making

a conscious effort to sound like one thing or another. I just played

around with some riffs and lyrical ideas and when it turned in to this

I was like fuck it, - that sounds like fun, lets record that!  

Plus I’ve always listened to

more hip hop and hardcore then I have anything else so the vibe of this

makes sense to me. 

Tell us a bit about the demo

it etc… 

Well the weird thing is I wrote

all the songs on an acoustic. I would write riffs and record them on

to my phone and then play that back and scribble down lines till I had

something to work with. That was it really writing wise.  

Being a drummer I just wrote that

shit in my head and laid it in the studio. I played the guitar to a

click track then dropped the drums over the top, then more guitar, bass

and then vox. It was a lot of fun actually.  

Did the two demo/MySpace tracks

in one day! 

Are you

surprised with the response that the demo has received so far? 

Yeah totally, I just recorded

these songs because I thought it would be fun and id always wanted to

do a solo thing just to see if I could. I actually thought it would

turn out terrible but I wanted to have a crack anyway. 

Given your previous band’s

“Deez Nuts” based on your history, rather than judging the demo

on its merits? 

Yeah I had thought about that

and that’s why the first two weeks the DN MySpace was up I didn’t

have anything on the page to link it to me or anyone for that matter. 

.I knew that was the only way

to get an honest and unbiased response from kids and it was a positive

one. Once I attached my name to the project and put it out there to

prom fans most of them think it sucks because it’s not prom and a

lot of them message me letting me know that, haha.  

If there is any kids that support

something I do just because I was in IKTPQ I don’t have a problem

with that anyway cause that’s a loyalty I earned from over 7 years

of doin prom.  

I’ll take what I can get. 

Your first show is at the Melbourne

going to be filling out the remaining positions in the band? 

Ill be singing. My all star line

up is not yet ready to be announced…. 

Is your band with Joel (Hitlist)

and Stu (Picture The End) still going ahead? 

Haha yeah it is. How the hell

did you know about that? 

Your promo photos look pretty

smooth man – does 50 Cent know you stole his ride? 

Haha thanks. If you mean the ones

on the DN MySpace they’re not the promos, they’re just snap shots

from the day of the photos. The real ones are legit, taken by Hartley

photography. And you don’t need to steal 50’s wheels when you’re

tight with FTM. 

You’re going to be releasing

– what can we expect from the record? 

Well it’s already been recorded

and you can expect a party, a lot of cursing, bangin beats, a few laughs

and guest vocals from Joel (HITLIST)  Ben (DAY OF CONTEMPT) 

and Andrew (COMEBACK KID). 

Will we be seeing a full time

line-up in the near future so “Deez Nuts” can hit the road? 

Well, it’s always going to remain

a solo thing as far as writing and recording goes cause I like it that

way. As for touring I plan to tour as much as I can and I will get a

different line up every tour so it’s new and fresh every time. Keep

it a party. Plus I want to involve as many of my friends as possible.  

Based on

low riders?  

Haha who knows, maybe they can

rock both?  

Maybe I’ve missed the point,

just enjoy the music? 

No you haven’t and yes it is.

That’s what I’m doin with it. I’m just lookin to have fun and

hopefully other people can get siked on it and have some fun to. 

You mentioned on your MySpace

“Deez Nuts” brand blunts as well? 

I can only hope… 

Do I get a discount on a dimebag

if I buy a tee shirt? 

Fuck yeah you do…. 

What else have

“Deez Nuts” got planned for 2007? 

Takin over the world one hood

at a time.  

Thanks for your time man.
