UPFRONT got them on the Q10

1.How did you get started?
I guess it was our parents, a long time ago, in a discotheque, a bit drunk and on the dance floor…

2.What ingredients do you need to mix together to produce the recipe of your sound?
…everything that can be used will be used!

3. Did your first gig make you hungry for more?
well, it certainly made us thirsty for more…

4. What’s the biggest ‘cock up’ to date?
After a gig and long party night in Rotterdam we had to, very painfully, inflate plastic mattresses that the promoter gave us to sleep on, on the floor of the old Ministry of Defence, since transformed into squat …it must have been a Dutch form of torture from ancient times!

5. What is it that inspires you to make your music/sound?
well, we are not really inspired …we are humbly under orders of THE music!

6. What would be the icing on the cake?
in French we say “la cerise sur le gâteau” …so it would be the cherry on the icing!

7. How will you be remembered? (what will make you vintage?)
as the first humans to dance the Earthwalk on the moon…

8. Describe your music as if it were a fine wine.
pet(rus) sounds!

9. AfterMint! Does your musical style influence your underwear?
well, we have no ……….influences!

10. Digestive! What do you know about Luxembourg?
“Spending warm Summer days indoors / Writing frightening verse
To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg…”
The Smiths, ‘Ask’
