MM
- How do you feel the bands sound has developed since it originally
started? JA - I think each member of the band has had a major influence on the sound as they’ve joined over the years, We’re all into really different shit, but it kind of all blends together. MM
- How would you describe your music? MM
- Who do you see as your target audience? MM
- At what
age did you become interested in being a performer and what/who inspired
you to join a band? JA - He fucking well is, the number of times I have to cover for his sorry drunken ass! For me I guess you could go through the usual list of Slash, Keef, (Jonny) Thunders, Ace (Freshly) etc but the first time I heard Tracii Guns playing 'Electric Gypsy' followed by 'Sex Action' I was fucked for life!
MM
- Can you
remember any of the other names that were considered at the time? MM
- The band
recently recorded your new EP ‘Beautiful People’ which is due for
release in August. How did that go and how long did it rake from
the initial stages of writing the songs to the EP’s actual completion? NW - Getting up at 9 am’s a bitch but when it's sunny and you got a beer and are strolling into the studio JA - It kicks ass. MM
- Would
you like to tell us a few thoughts or stories behind the songs included
on this release? JA - 'Slave Train' is about people who have abandoned their dreams just cos someone told em they had to get a mortgage and pay for the wife and kids. It’s almost in respect for them, cos I couldn’t do it! I’d be bored. NW - As much as people seem to think 'Mainline Traxx' is drug related, I can’t believe how many time’s I’ve had to explain that it's not about shooting up heroin, It’s about fuckin’ up the all the things you love just for a short lived cheap thrill. JA - 'Miss Lonely Hearts' is as close to a ballad as your gonna get on this EP. It's about moving on and not letting life pass you by. 'Beautiful People' is for all the fuckers out their night after night, NW - It’s a tribute to all the fans, Fuck Kate Moss, it’s them who keep Rimmel in business, JA - The entire EP has a common theme of living for the moment and having a ball.
MM
- Which
do you prefer being holed up in the studio writing and recording tracks,
or out on the road gigging and connecting with your fans? JA - Your normally half cut so you ain’t gotta clue where you are!... Seriously, gig’s are the moment, I’d play every night if we could. We’re not after the millions, or the fame. NW - I am! JA - Well I wouldn’t say no but just to get to play every night to our fans would kick ass. MM
- What song is your personal favourite to play live and which one(s)
really get the crowd going wild? NW - 'Mainline Traxx' cos every fucker thinks it's about shooting up heroin. MM
- What’s
the most rock n roll moment the band have had so far to date? NW - Where do I begin, from drinking a cocktail of white spirit and his own piss, pissing on stage, looking for his bottle of Jack on stage (whilst the headliners we’re playing), and him and Jade getting arrested for indecent exposure, oh and getting cheered out of the police station by entire cop shop when me and Joe went to pick them up.
MM
- Now
for your sales pitch, why should our readers buy ‘Beautiful People’
instead of something else? What sets your music apart from the hundreds
of other EP’s released right now so to speak? JA - ... and all the other clone’s. No seriously, if ya wanna record that’s gonna sit nicely in-between all your classics then buy this one cos you're all stuck with us for a while. MM
- Are
there any other upcoming bands that you'd suggest people keep an ear out
for? JA - yeah, beautiful people, beautiful fans! MM
- Finally
do you have any words of wisdom for our readers out there? |
