Musicians — London
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
Kyoto Kyoto, from Munich, Glasgow and London.
Describe your style in three words?
Chill, casual, vintage.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Lise Davidsen and Leif Ove Andsnes playing Grieg, Strauss and Wagner Lieder at the Barbican. The voice of one person was more grand than most of the bands I've seen live. Plus the repertoire which was played came very close on a personal level.
If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
Death Grips and Lightning Bolt because of pure intensity and because it's improbable.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
Most of the subcultures that are happening in London especially the ones that are linked to the venues/music scenes we're part of as a band and as individuals.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, because he mastered all sorts of "Lieder".
Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
Kafe Kult in Munich.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
L’Rain, her music, the lyrics, the production is unbelievable!
Kyoto Kyoto recently released their debut EP 'Mirror Flexing Jaw'. Listen, purchase or stream it via linktr.ee/kyotokyoto.
