03Interview

Name, where are you from?
We’re Lemondaze (Isis, Finn, Rosie and Jonty) and we’re from Cambridge.

Describe your style in three words?
I: Stompy goth fairy.
F: Grunge, matrix, undecided.
R: Silky sparkly sexy.
J: Fish boy core.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
I: Massive Attack at the O2 Arena on the 'Mezzanine' XXL tour, it was unreal, the visuals were mad, my jaw was on the floor it was very insane.
F: Radiohead at the Roundhouse on the 'Moon Shaped Pool' tour, unreal to see my favourite band perform in person, and the sound production did them justice that night.
R: Everything Isis said.
J: Ride at the Norwich Waterfront, just an unreal night.

If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
I: Wolf Alice and Slowdive. It's kind of a collective dream of ours to be able to support Wolf Alice and Slowdive are just magical, they are the only two bands I've hysterically cried at when seeing live.
F: Deftones and Radiohead - I believe we’d compliment Deftones and it would be an honour to play with them, and Radiohead for purely personal reasons, just love them loads.
R: Deftones and Slowdive.
J: XTC and Ride.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
I: Queer subculture.
F: Rocker, vaporwave, music production, LGBT community.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
F: Bill Murray, seems awesome.
I: Trixie and Katya (I know they're two people but they're always together) because I wanna be in a real life episode of 'UNHhhh'.
R: Chino Moreno so I can kiss his sweet forehead for making such beautiful music.
J: David Bowie - just would love to know his creative process.

Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
I: I will always always love the Blue Moon, it’s our fave hometown venue, they have the best beers and the Landlady is an angel.
F: Windmill Brixton. Great sound, great people and great bands. Also roof dog.
R: Windmill Brixton because of the goblin wall art.
J: Shacklewell Arms, it’s just perfect.

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
F: Nigel Godrich. Not sure if unsung, but they are an incredible producer, huge discography, especially his involvement in the 'Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World' soundtrack.
I: Joff Oddie. He's my guitar hero! I just think what he does with the guitar is insane. I would love to have a chat with him one day and just talk everything guitars, pedals and gear (and find out his secrets).
J: Colin Greenwood. Need I say more?
