GOLDTEETH
Musician — Sheffield
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
I have 3 gold teeth so just made sense to call this project GOLDTEETH as I feel this represents me.
Describe your style in three words?
Psychedelic, Pop, Rnb.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
I went to see The Strokes play Alexandra Palace in 2003 just as the Room on Fire album came out - that was pretty special.
If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
It would have to be Bob Marley and Michael Jackson just so I could have a free ticket to watch them.
Which Subcultures have influenced you?
I'm into all types of music so not sure how to answer this but I really like the UK rap and grime scene.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
It would probably be Larry David because it's Larry David.
Of all the venues you’ve been to, which is your favourite?
I love Brixton Academy it's just got a good vibe and a good view of the stage from anywhere you watch from.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
There are loads but today I'll go with Lauryn Hill just for making 'Miseducation'; a flawless album in my opinion.
GOLDTEETH is the latest musical pseudonym of Andy Nicholson. A former bassist of The Arctic Monkeys, founding member and bassist of the hip hop and indie-rock hybrid Mongrel and studio producer working with the likes of Toddla T, Swindle, Tom Prior and Terri Walker. Andy Nicholson has remained active and contributing to Sheffield’s iconic music history. He recently released his debut EP, featuring 'The Thunder' which was premiered by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1.
