Musicians — London
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
Weird Milk and we're from the deep country of Buckinghamshire.
Describe your style in three words?
Whatever is there.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
The Lemon Twigs at The Old Blue Last. There were four bands on that night and they were in the middle of the bill. No one expected very much as they were completely new and unheard of. They opened with 'These Words' and the harmonies in the chorus were SO tight and strong it blew me (Charlie) and Alex (Grifbo) away. We rehearsed much harder the next day.
If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
The Band and Bob Dylan - can that count as one? And Sly and the Family stone 'cause they oozed cool.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
Them beatniks for pushing a new train of thought down the tracks of time.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Nina Simone, a truly great voice and mind. I don't know if she'd want to spend an hour with me.
Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
So many favourites. Favourite place was Glasgow because everyone is so friendly. A specific venue would be Scala, just because we could play louder than we ever have and really let loose.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
The High Llamas. Best band.
Weird Milk recently released their new track 'Vienna'. Listen, purchase or stream it via linktr.ee/WeirdMilkMusic.
Following on from a number of festival dates, Weird Milk will be heading out on a UK headline tour this November. Further details and tickets are available at linktr.ee/WeirdMilkMusic.
