CAITLIN SHAFFER interviews bassist/vocalist MATT DALLY
Caitlin:  Who thought of the name Superchic[k]?
Matt:  A friend. We originally were called Superchic, but people were calling them Superchic (pronounced sheik). They decided to add the number 11 onto the end because it stands for the letter K, which is the 11th letter in the alphabet. No one was catching on to that, so they decided to add the K.
 
What instruments can you play?
I used to play the drums when I was younger. My brother, Ben, also played the drums, but he excelled. One time, my friends called and said they wanted to jam with Ben. I offered to jam with them instead, but they told me, “No, that’s OK.” In high school, I played the jazz guitar in the jazz band. I now play the bass guitar.

What was your most memorable concert?
It was a concert in Australia, the first time I had been there. The show was held by a secular radio station. I thought we were an opening act for some other group, but we were headlining! There ended up being 20,000 kids that came out for the show, and they were all singing the words to Superchic[k]’s songs.
 
Do you have any weird talents?
Well, I used to sell women’s clothing, and I was very good at it. I am a good salesperson. I like fashion design, and I could just dress people up all day.

What are your fears?
Car accidents and terminal cancer! I also hate bananas. I don’t like the smell, texture, taste or anything of a banana. I would rather eat a bug than eat a banana!
