Who are you?
The infamous Nikki Darlin.
Describe yourself in three words.
magic, drunk, smashy.
Who - dead or alive - would most you like to meet?
The Marx Brothers. The best entertainers of all time without a doubt!
Whom would you most like to slap in the face?
There are so many I don’t know where to start, mostly old smart ass men (not in the funny way) who are condescending creeps to young women like myself and the rest of the Darlins.
What song do you wish you had written?
“Awesome” by Nick Lowe
Elvis Costello or Elvis Presley?
Elvis Costello winked at me on a plane, Presley didn’t. I’d rather flirt with Presley. He makes me shake my ass harder than Costello.
LP, CD or MP3?
LP! I throw CDs around like trash and I can’t throw mp3s so I don’t bother with them.
If you could start one trend, what would it be?
Back to the basics. Leather, furs, bones and feathers.
If you could end one trend, what would it be?
Beards.
With whom would you most like to play a game of spin the bottle?
All the Marx Brothers. It wouldn’t be sexy at all but would probably be the most hilarious spin the bottle ever.
Those Darlins play the Earl w/ O’death and Vortex Park on Tues., Dec. 2nd. $10. 9 p.m. 488 Flat Shoals Rd. 404-522-3950.
