Musicians — Lincoln
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
MS: Mitch Spencer, Lincoln.
MC: Mason Cassar, Essex.
CW: Callum Warner-Webb, Lincoln.
Describe your style in three words?
CW: French and Confused
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
MS: Viagra Boys at Studio 9294 in May 2019. A friend bailed on me so I decided to go on my own under the assumption that I would stand at the back and just enjoy the music… Two songs in and I was head first in the moshpit! It was like I’d been teleported to a peak Doors gig, but not like a real one - like one in the film where people are climbing up the walls and the whole room is about to fall apart. I think I saw Amyl and the Sniffers in there too!
If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
MC: The Streets, probably the most influential band for me, skinner is my idol and Squeeze, because that would be a proper hootenanny.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
CW: Even though I try my best not to look like a Mod after absolutely abusing the Gazelles and the Sta-Pressed trousers, I think that sixties mentality still influences me. And I would say more recently I've been loving that utilitarian, workwear aspect to old '90s Hip-Hop trends.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
CW: Bowie. I just know he'd change my life in that one hour.
MS: Friedrich Nietzsche… I mean I can’t speak German, but he has one hell of a tash.
MC: Billy the Kid, imagine having a pint with billy the kid? Think of the stories man, pure cowboy savagery.
Of all the venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?
MC: The Old England in Bristol was insane.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
MS: Nick Hodgson, the original drummer in Kaiser Chiefs - the true '00s banger machine, he wrote their best tunes from behind the sticks and I never hear anyone talking about him.
