In today’s A-Z challenge, we bring you all you need to know about Bazooka Troopaz, from the band themselves!
A song that made you want to make music?
W.A.S.P. – Chainsaw Charlie, just a complete masterpiece
Best rider you’ve had?
Frankie often brings some Monkey Brew beer (local beer company in Norway) to gigs, so that always make our backstage a bit extra sexy. We’ll drink whatever the rider has at the venue, but having a drummer who works for a beer company is pretty sweet.
Craziest moment you’ve had in the band?
Since we’re a pretty new band yet, we don’t have some super wild stories yet. First thing that comes to mind was having two guest apperances that Sgt Summers booked at our debut gig without informing the rest of the band.
Deepest lyric one of your songs features?
“I’ll take you to school, you calorie counting fool, Im a led pipe to the face” from Zookafied comes to mind.
Easiest song you wrote?
All have been pretty easy actually, we never use a long time on a BT song.
Favourite song in your set?
Beer Slam is always a banger.
Guest you’d most like to feature on your record?
Hm, a Paul Baloff cameo would be the ultimate for BT (RIP).

Resisting the urge to kill the other members.
Interesting fact about one of your members?
Frankie sometimes get his dick signed after gigs.
Jokes you have in the band?
Too juicy to share.
Key to writing a song?

Pest Control
Opening for this band would be ideal?

South America would be wild
Quote you’d like to pass on to our readers?
