The Dandy Warhols’ clothing-optional bassist opens up about sex on tour, masturbating in the DJ booth and her band’s new album, Rockmaker.
Zia McCabe is the bassist, keyboardist and percussionist for the Portland, Oregon-based band The Dandy Warhols. If you’re hip, you know their hits “Bohemian Like You,” “We Used to Be Friends” and “Not if You Were the Last Junkie on Earth.” If you’re not hip? Then get hip!
HUSTLERMagazine.com caught up with Zia over dinner in L.A. to talk about everything from sex on the road—aka “tour slutting”—her clothing-optional lifestyle and the band’s latest album, Rockmaker.
HUSTLERMagazine.com: Are you okay being interviewed by us?
Zia McCabe: Yes, I am! (Laughs.) I love talking about sex. All of the human conditions, really. Sex is my true hyper-focus.
Do you have any history with the magazine or Larry Flynt?
My parents’ friends had a closet in a big old house and, in that closet, there were piles and piles of HUSTLERs. Maybe a foot-and-a-half deep. My friends and I would just sit on stacks and peruse these magazines. The first porn I ever remember seeing was in that closet.
