03Interview

Name, where are you from?
Vii Zero, from Walthamstow home of new age gentrification.

Describe your style in three words?
Emo, hoodpunk, gender-bending.

What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Ramstein at the O2 arena, my grandad got me free tickets and there was bare pyrotechnics, the mosh pits were mad and at the end there was a giant penis shooting foam at the crowd. It was a madness. Their song 'Du hast' with the little Nokia breakdown thingy goes hard.

If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
Gonna have to be Nirvana and Michael Jackson, that would be a madness. That show would come like the avengers on god.

Which subcultures have influenced you?
A lot of rock subcultures like grunge, nu-metal, punk and goth because they let me embrace my weirdness and the icons and figures of those genres I can heavily relate to. Punk really stands out for me though cause it solidified my ideals on not caring about what people think.

If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Kurt Cobain 'cause he’s the goat. I’ve read a lot about him and watched a bunch of documentaries and Nirvana are in my top five, so I’m pretty sure me and Kurt have a lot of the same ideals and would get on. R.I.P bro.

Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
House Of Vans because it was always a dream of mine to play that place cause I used to go skate there sometimes.

Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
It’d have to be Bert Weedon because he’s one of the godfathers of rock n roll and modern guitar music in general. This man plays guitar like a god and wrote a book in the late '50s called 'Play In A Day' which taught a lot of great guitarists like Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney how to play guitar. Goat.
