Upsidedown Cross is a psyched out sludge doom band from Boston formed in the late 80s after the demise of Kilslug, a similarly druggy weird group that were more on the punk side of the spectrum.

J MASCIS:We broke up when I was 17, and the band started when I was 15. I found a flyer in my local music store that sold punk records and had some bands that I liked. I met this kid the week before in the store looking through those records — he lived in Westfield, 45 minutes away, so I went and jammed with him. My dad drove me over. Lou [Barlow] ...
MASCIS:The Upsidedown Cross record is one of my favorite records I’ve ever played on. I was flirting with real punk rock. Those guys were serious degenerates — not like anyone I’d ever met. I’d previously played a gig with Gerard and G.G. Allin, which was a similar experience but also not so great. It seemed good in theory, but when you’re on stage...
You had a cameo in this Allison Anders film, and you also contributed some songs to it. MASCIS: Allison came up to me at a show at the Roxy during the Bugtour and asked me to do stuff for the movie. That whole experience was really cool. I’d never done movie music before. You watch the scene and the music writes itself. It seemed really easy — to p...
This was another Allison Anders movie you were in and contributed music to, but you played a slightly bigger part in it — and it was about music, too. MASCIS:The concept for that movie was essentially “What if Carole King married Brian Wilson,” so I was writing for the Brian Wilson part that was played by Matt Dillon. It was pretty cool to be able ...
Dinosaur Jr. never played SNLproper, but you ended up playing with the house band regardless. MASCIS:I was friends with Tim Meadows, and he hooked it up. That was the night they did the cowbell skit, so it was really awesome to watch that right there, and then right after I’m playing out there for the commercial. It was pretty bizarre, to stand on ...
This happened a few years after you started making records with the Fog. MASCIS:I was watching the Ozzy show. It was 11 at night. I was with my wife, and the fire alarm went off. We thought it was a malfunction. We had a wood stove, and it turns out that the guy who cleaned it didn’t do a good job, so it caught fire on the basement floor. When I fi...
You started studying the teachings of Hindu guru Mata Amritanandamayi in the ‘90s. MASCIS:Someone told me to go see her. I was open to whatever and was kind of depressed, so I’d try anything. I checked it out, and every year I’d get more into it when she came around. Then I went to India. I don’t know, I just kind of really liked the whole scene. Y...
I’m always surprised to hear your vocals on this song, even though I’ve listened to it a lot over the years. MASCIS:One of the guys in Mew would always come around to shows in Denmark. I’d see them here and there. I didn’t know he had a band at first. Then they asked me to do it, so I had to go to LA. It was pretty interesting, with Michael Beinhor...
MASCIS:Bill Stevenson, the drummer from the Descendents, was working on it and asked me if I wanted to work on it. I was psyched that Evan was working with him, because we’re all big fans of the Descendents and Black Flag. So I was psyched to come up with some shit for Bill Stevenson. How long have you known Evan for? MASCIS:I met him at this show ...
MASCIS: Richard Ayoade just asked me, and I was a big fan. I knew him mostly from Mighty Boosh, I loved that show. He was a fan, he said one of his first concerts was Dinosaur Jr. It was pretty weird working on it, because Jesse Eisenberg was really strange. He was really perplexed that a director would like someone’s band and put them in the movie...
