What’s in Your Fridge is where the Straight asks interesting Vancouverites about their life-changing concerts, favourite albums, and, most importantly, what’s sitting beside the Heinz Ketchup in their custom-made Big Chill Retropolitan 20.6 cubic-foot refrigerators.

On the grill

Kevvy

Who are you

I am a tall, blond boy with an Erykah Badu tattoo that makes music for himself and for other people. I sing in a band called Fake Shark, and play bass in a band called Die Mannequin and we just toured with Marilyn Manson. I made songs with Carly Rae Jepsen, and Dave Grohl drummed on a few songs I wrote. I produced Dino Archie's comedy record Choosy Lover. I do music for Soska sisters movies (American Mary, Vendetta).

First concert

Warped Tour '99. An unknown Eminem replaced Cypress Hill on the tour and got hit with lemon slices until he cussed Vancouver out and walked off to a chant of "Pennywise! Pennywise!" I also met Ice T at the show, who was performing with Body Count. Even though I was a little kid, I was way taller than him, and that was somehow disappointing to me.

Life-changing concert

The first time I saw Mindless Self Indulgence. It was Richard's on Richards and I got a fake ID just so I could go to that show. The ticket was, like, $11, and I was literally counting down the days until the show for three months, because they were my favourite band. Not just my favourite band, but that kinda personal band that you discover yourself and it's like YOUR band. I went by myself, and also got there, like, six hours early, and made friends with the other weirdos in the lineup, and we're all still friends to this day.

I remember thinking it was the most insane thing I'd ever seen. They were so funny and witty and destructive, climbing the balcony, making out with everyone in the audience, going into the bar and grabbing bottles of beer and smashing them, I knew I had to be in a band with a similar kind of energy. You better believe it was life-changing seeing that, and then a dream come true when they brought us on tour and then Jimmy Urine did a song on our album Liar.

Top three records

Tricky Maxinquaye  There's something evil yet sexy about this record and no one can really put their finger on why. Martina Topley-Bird was like 16 or something when she sang on it, with these totally disturbed lyrics and melodies. Totally intoxicating. The production and delivery has to be an influence on House of Balloons by the Weeknd, which is also a good mix tape.

Erykah Badu New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)  All you need to do to understand why I've listened to this record at least once every two days since 2010 is listen to the groove in "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long". This one is for Dilla, hip-hop.

Bad Brains Bad Brains  My one dreadlock on the side of my head goes out to H.R., and also to Jah.

All-time favourite video

Nicholas Stern "Slapshot Rock"  Why this man isn't taken seriously on the level of Mick Jagger and Bowie is beyond me. The outfit is on point, the mike tricks are top-shelf, and the guitar solo is why Eddie Van Halen retired.

What’s in your fridge

Pickle juice. Because I'm inspired by Hannibal Buress to, after the pickles are gone, keep the juice and dip my fingers in it and then flick it on my sandwiches for flavour.

Every condiment, but no actual food. And I think I bought them all in like 2010. I must have been having a condiment-style Olympic celebration. Picture it, you got mustard for the yellow ring, relish for the green one, ketchup for the red, and blueberry jelly for the blue. There's one more ring and I can't remember what colour it is. Puce? I think it was puce. That's easy. Hummus.

That's it, because I have no idea how to cook. My life is all 24/7 Thai menus, bubble tea, and peace signs/not gang signs. I want to keep the little woman who works at 24/7 Thai in my fridge, partially to cook for me, but also to teach her a lesson for making fun of me incessantly for eating there alone and not having a "good woman to cook for me". How you gonna cook with little ice cubes for hands, tiny Thai restaurant woman?

Watch for Fake Shark's new single "Cheap Thrills" this July.
