03Interview
Name, where are you from?
Tomas Walmsley, Tom Harrison and Chris Wood - from all over, Manchester-based.
Describe your style (dress sense) in three words?
Past sell buy.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to (and why)?
FUZZ. A couple of years ago at Gorilla. My head was pressed against Ty Segall’s bass drum and it was a wonderfully thick, energetic sound.
If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
Without thinking too hard…
The Stooges - 'Shake Appeal'
The Kinks - 'Long Tall Shorty'
Which subcultures have influenced you?
That rock 'n' roll fiasco that makes you feel good and not care.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Hunter S .Thompson… pure mad, genius energy. You need some of that in your pocket.
Of all the venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?
Slow Club in Freiburg was a gas. They have a red stage curtain that reveals you…
Also Hotel Vegas in Austin for SXSW…total fun.
Cafe Carbon - Antwerp also…very very nice.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Norma Tanega - 'Walking My Cat Named Dog'.
