about the kid, which is all part of The
Orwells charm. For this half-groggy interview, he'd just woken up at 3:00 p.m. and
was drinking his first cup of afternoon coffee. "Last night, I was trying to watch as
much True Detective as possible while
drinking as much whiskey as possible," he
apologizes. "But lately I've just been on a
horror kick – me and my roommates
bought a bunch of random movies, like Ichi
the Killer and the original Texas Chainsaw
Massacre and Rosemary's Baby, so we're just
trying to see some really fucked-up shit
together."
When the feisty frontman was residing
in Elmhurst with his parents not so long
ago, his home became somewhat notorious
for – not just late-night – but all-day revelry. Which eventually caught the attention
of the local constabulary. "There'd be a lot
of people at my house at one time, 'cause
we'd just be playing basketball in the back
yard," he recalls. "So a lot of people would
smoke weed at my house, and we'd just get
high as f-ck in the garage all day. But I
guess (the police) thought that there was
some serious sh-t going on, so they went to
all this trouble and put cameras in my
neighbor's trees for months." He sighs. "It
was honestly pretty f-cked up. Because
then they just busted in one night and
arrested us all. But they didn't find anything when they raided our house, even
though they'd prepared for it for months.
But I was in a holding cell for 12 hours – it
was a really sh-tty night."
Truth be told, Cuomo just looks like a
mischief maker. Like he's just secretly
pranked some frat brother, and he's trying
to contain himself while he awaits the zany
results. And he admits that he regularly
stumbles into trouble. Especially in concert, where he crowd surfs and grabs random female fans for impromptu make-out
sessions. "One night in Boston, I tried to
fall into the crowd, but it was a really high
stage – ridiculously high, like six feet or
something," he shivers. "And I just went
straight through them and ended up flipping. Luckily, I didn't fall straight to my
head – I landed more on my back. But that
was kind of scary, because I got up and
thought 'Whoa! Is my neck broken?' But I
just got back up onstage. Sometimes you
just get caught up in the moment with that
sh-t."
Cuomo is unashamed of his habit of
kissing strange women. He blames it on a
libidinous combination of being drunk and
not currently being anchored to any one
girlfriend. "And it's not like I'm walking
her offstage and having her over to my
dressing room or anything, so I don't think
it's that big of a deal," he guffaws. "But one
