Well Worn Boot is a four-piece shock-rock group, in other-words a band whose live show is crafted with the purpose of maximizing shock value. Boot consists of four characters -  Billy Klubb on the drums, Buckingham on bass, Horse on guitar, and the Plainsman, who plays the flute and spews semi-coherent soliloquies.  The quartet formed in 2010 and since then they've played in various regions of upstate New York, not discriminating between remote towns or urban cities: Silver Creek, Westfield, Rochester, Binghamton, Hornell, and more. Since their arrival to Buffalo, they've taken their debauchery to venues such as Nietzches, Slyboots, Mohawk Place, Tudor Lounge, and Broadway Joes. As fans can attest to, if you choose to attend a live set, you can expect a mixture of improvisational antics, a lot of crowd interaction, behavior of the asinine sort, oh yeah, and some live rock music. Needless to say, their area of expertise can be pointed to their ability to generate a Dionysian atmosphere at any venue they step foot through.

BUFFABLOG: How did you guys come together?
Plainsmen (whose voice sounds like a hybrid of Elvis Presley and Forrest Gump): Well we've been together for two and a half years now, and the origins of it, it's hard to specify exactly but I think, we all met at an ice-cream booth somewhere.

BUFFABLOG: So-(cut off)
Plainsmen: So you gonna have someone come here and take pictures of me while we do this or something like that?

BUFFABLOG: I can take a picture of you.
Plainsmen: I'm surprised you all don't have someone else doing all that stuff with buffaBLOG being the prestigious establishment it is. I just would have expected a photographer for a gig like this. I don't consider myself an egomaniac, pussay.

BUFFABLOG: So the band has had three consistent members and to my knowledge, three people in any group designates a love triangle. 
Plainsmen: You've picked a nice point of entry, first and foremost, in referring to a love triangle, the first context that comes to mind is of course sexuality. And I want to get this out into the open right away, we are all sexually active with each other most, all of, the time. We don't normally engage too explicitly on stage, for in fear of being jailed for some indecent exposure charge. If your talking about love, you're unquestionably talking about hate, so there's another angle of this aside from us having a deep respect and passion for each other and a deep sexual drive toward each other as well, we also harbor a deep hatred for each other. (pause) You got a joint sitting around here or something?

BUFFABLOG: How does your material come about? Who does the song-writing?
Plainsman: Generally with our songs, they all have a phallocentric approach, and a lot of that is routed and stimulated by, me. I spend a lot of time putting lots of sheets of paper on my wall, if people come into my room they're gonna see that, and they're gonna be impressed.

BUFFABLOG: Right, right, because a desk isn't enough. You need an entire wall to piece everything together.
Plainsman: The minute the idea gets on the wall…haven't you seen Memento? But when it comes down to it, I don't put them together, ever, and I never do any of the work myself, I basically rely on the rest of the band to do the majority of writing.

BUFFABLOG: So the wall is for superficial purposes
Plainsmen: Yes.

BUFFABLOG: How do you guys change things up for each performance, to make things fresh?
Plainsman: We're always making new things, currently we're working on this concept called Pussy-Face. It's a mask that I'll wear that turns my entire mouth and nose region into a vagina, and there will be two legs coming out of it that'll be on little sticks and I'll go around yelling "pussy-face" from my vagina mouth while I squirm these little legs around.

BUFFABLOG: So, what region of the universe are you from?
Plainsman: We're all from the United States originally, different parts. The Horse and I have known each other for a long time, I mean, he's my horse, been my horse for a long time. Billy, the drummer, and the infamous Baby Buckingham, they've been acquainted for a long while. The two of them met up with the two of us, it formed a nice dynamic, them being the bad-mother fuckers they are, us being the bad-mother fuckers we are. But also being, fundamentally in pursuit of justice. The horse and I are about justice and respect, the Baby and Billy, though, they're about eating candy and blowing shit up.

BUFFABLOG: How did you find the horse?
Plainsmen: I found him when we were in Hollywood, I was in Hollywood for a long time, I've always been tied to showbiz, I started as an impressionist and a juggler. But later on I met the Horse because we were both involved in the adult film industry.

(pause)

Plainsman: Interviewers are scum of the earth, milking up the interviewees and making them talk about themselves in ways they don't entirely want to. But interviews being the self-indulgent spectacle that I'm partaking in, I'm going to take this opportunity to boast that we have one of the only non-human guitarists in showbiz.

BUFFABLOG: How did he learn how to stand up?
Plainsman: He learned how to stand relatively easy, the difficult part was amputating his hooves. He expressed interest to me about learning how to play guitar, and I informed him, you know, well we're gonna have to chop those hooves off.

BUFFABLOG: When are you guys playing next?
Plainsman: We're playing at Tudor Lounge on Halloween night, we'll be performing as the Neverland Band, I'll be performing as Captain Hook, the Baby will be Tinker Bell, the Horse will be the Crocodile, and Billy Klubb will be Peter Pan.

There you have it, and if you guys want to actually witness this guy in person, you can check them out this Wednesday at the Tudor Lounge where they'll be playing in costume, in costume. They will also be playing on November 21st at the Hard Rock Cafe in Niagara Falls and their EP Fully Torqued (which will double as a comic book) is set to be released sometime in the beginning of next year.

Here's a teaser for you.
