Musicians — London
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
Somedays. We’re Vittorio, Gege, Eliseo, Jerome and Matt from Turin/Milan/Zurich/São Paulo.
Describe your style in three words?
G: “Still sleeping, man”.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
E: Probably David Byrne’s performance at the Hammersmith this year. Very theatrical and passionate. I loved 'Dream Operator'.
If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
J: The Stooges and The Doors. What a night that would be.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
G: None, really… But we all love the surf vibe… Matt and Vitto are the only ones who can’t stand up on a board.
V: For now.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
M: Alexander the Great. I’m not looking for inspiration or anything.
Of all the venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?
E: Camden Assembly. Great venue, sound and atmosphere. The lights were super cool, too.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
V: Robbie Basho. He’s the greatest guitarist I’ve ever heard.
