We asked each of the eight Red Bull Bedroom Jam Bands to answer 20 questions so we could get to know them better.  Stand-Up Guy are the frist up, have a look and find out which of the lads exposed themself on stage and who's special talent is to screech like a velociraptor

1. If your band were Prime Minister for the day what three things would you do?
Firstly we'd set up a stage on Downing Street and tell the media that a very important announcement is about to be made. When the world is watching we would blast into a set. Secondly, between each song we will talk about economic policies that will be put in place - a reduction in tax on fags and booze etc, etc. Thirdly, we would then fire ourselves.

2. Which other Red Bull Bedroom Jam bands do you love and why?
The first band that stands out musically for us is Heights, they have a similar sound to us but with more tinges of hardcore and Meshuggah-esque riffage which makes us tap our toes. Then there's Sacred Betrayal who, while not being exactly to our tastes musically, have shown serious dedication, hard work and consistency staying at the top of the Festival Chart for months. Fellow Irish band No Mean City stand out with their energy too.

3. As a band, what would be your karaoke number?
18 And Life by Skid Row!

4.  Which member of the band would make the best TV presenter, and what kind of show should they front?
Mike is the salesman of the band. He's got a suave Croydon accent too which would melt anyone's heart into submission!! I can imagine him being on QVC at 4am trying to sell kitchen knives or shoddy 'diamond' rings. Clients would include insomniacs, grannies and drunk people just getting in from their night out. GO MIKE!

5.  What were you called before you finally settled on your current band name, and why? Why did you ditch it?
We've always had an obsession with anything Mafia related. Phil, our bass player, alleges that he crossed paths with a Don in New York once. He was mesmerised by the experience and as a result the band's first incarnation was 'Shakedown'. After a musical redirection and some personnel changes we got the OK from the Don to form 'Stand-Up Guy'. Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.

6. Other than voting for you in RBBJ, what’s the best thing about your fans? What makes them unique?
With the music we play we have that we have a pretty far-reaching listenership and a broad scope of people who like us. We have been well received on many varied gig bills and support slots in the past. At a lot of these gigs we honestly believed we'd go down like a lead balloon but we always get surprising responses. We've been placed in the middle of indie, punk, metal, emo and prog line-ups before and we have been gobsmacked at times to have people buy our merch afterwards!!

7.  Which band in the world would you most want to play a show with a why?
Deftones. Everyone in SUG loves Deftones. They were one of our influences from day one and I think a good amount of their fans would appreciate what we do.

8. As a band, what one word do you all use far too much?
In the last three months it's been ‘redbullbedroomjam’ people are sick of us!

9. What one thing do you envy about another band that you wish you had? It could be anything from Frank from Gallows’ tats to Lars from Metallica’s drumming skills…
Maynard James Keenan's voice. He has soaring capabilities like no other. I think if a local band today had Lars in their band he'd be fired.

10.  What one food and one drink could the whole band live off for a whole tour?
Chips and White Lightning cider.

11.  If your band were the A-Team, who would be B.A.? Face? ‘Howling Mad’ Murdoch? Hannibal? The female reporter whose name no-one can remember? (Amy maybe?)
Ian would be B.A., for sure. He likes kicking doors in and turning around in the front seat with a menacing look. Mike would be Face with his dashing looks and that charming accent. Phil would be Hannibal as he always has the plans. Conor would be Murdoch as he's a pilot and lost his mind while in 'Nam. Francis would be the reporter. Why? Because he's got lovely breasts.

12.  If you could put on your own festival which five bands would play and who would headline? Where would it be and who would host it?
AC/DC, Deftones, Meshuggah, Tool and, of course, Stand-Up Guy!!! How could we not?
AC/DC to headline without question and the festival would take place in a place called Eagle's Rock in the Sperrin Mountains in County Derry. There's already a festival there every July (Glasgowbury) and it has the most breathtaking views imaginable! Jimmy Carr would have to host it!

13.  Who in the band has the strangest talent and what is it? Note you may be asked to provide video evidence!
Ian can do a freakishly loud screech like a velociraptor. We used it in the beginning to one of our songs called 'Scarecrow Gaiden'. It’s on our MySpace page!

14.  Who in the band has the worst habits? Feel free to name and shame.
Conor without doubt. He has an electric fan set up in the practice room and when the band take a break he throws down his trousers (and boxers) and directs the fan to his nether regions to cool off. Needless to say a distinct aroma occupies the room for some time!!

15.  What’s the best useless fact you know?
Noel Thompson, who is a newsreader on BBC Northern Ireland, gets a taste of the big time every Sunday morning when he is whisked to London to read the news for BBC News 24.

16. As a band, who are your heroes?
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Noel Thompson, Mark Gormley (if you haven't seen him on YouTube yet you must, Little Wings is a treat) Chuck Norris, Rambo and Dolph Lungdren.

17.  You’re stranded on a desert island, which member of your band do you eat first and why?
Phil must go first. He's a fitness freak and would have some nice tender meat on him. I'd imagine Mike would want to start at the groin area as to save the best for last with those bulging shoulders!!!

18.  Who in the band had the most embarrassing first gig? Name and shame please.
Conor had a good one back when he thought he was Lars Ulrich. He had these shorts that were 2 inches bigger than normal so that he wouldn't heat up so much while bashing the kit (minus boxers of course). It was a good tactic until he forgot himself and stood up after the first song to try and get the crowd riled up. The shorts hit the floor and his overheated, shrivelled up excuse for manhood was exposed for all to see!

19.  Which of your songs has the most ludicrous title? What does it mean?
The Constant Gossip Of The Workplace. It's not too ludicrous, I suppose. It’s about the dull repetitive nature of a working environment where everyone's moves and decisions are scrutinised and where gossip is the only thing to get you through the day. We used to have some mental long ones which we decided to change at the last minute. Like The Harboured Thoughts Of Our Most Sober Lamentations!!! That was changed to The Harboured. Boring.

20.  What’s your ultimate goal as a band?
Tour the world, bring our music to new people and places. To have this band as our full-time career, a band that could sustain our bill payments would be the best thing ever!
