| AN INTERVIEW WITH... Cherryfalls. SO WHO IS IN Cherryfalls AND WHAT DOES EACH MEMBER DO? Cherryfalls are Joe: vocals/guitars, Adrian: guitars/vocals, Reu: drums, James: bass guitar HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF MUSIC? Simpering acousticy, singer-songwritery type bollocks. But mostly with electric guitars. WHO ARE YOUR INFLUENCES? Beatles, teenage fanclub, Blur, Ken Dodd WHERE DID THE NAME Cherryfalls COME FROM? From the lovely little town in West Virginia where Adrian's great, great, great grandfather (Cleetus Woodward) moved for the great gold-rush. The gold rush was unfortunately on the other side of the continent, so he opened a bordello and died an alcoholic. YOU HAVE JUST RELEASED YOUR DEBUT SINGLE, 'FOR ALL MY SINS'. WHAT IS THE TRACK ABOUT? If you play it backwards you'll find out. HOW DID THE TRACK GO DOWN WITH THE MUSIC PRESS? They ignored it. Wankers. THE TRACK IS TAKEN FROM YOUR DEBUT ALBUM. ANY IDEA WHAT THE ALBUM WILL BE CALLED OR WHEN IT WILL BE RELEASED? Don't know yet but it will be released in September (fingers crossed). YOU WENT ON A BRIEF UK TOUR LAST MONTH. HOW DID IT GO? Really well. The venues were cool, the crowds were really responsive and we doubled our mailing list which is all good. DO YOU GET NERVOUS BEFORE GOING ON STAGE? Nothing a couple of White Russians can't sort out. HOW DO YOU STRUCTURE YOUR SET? Fast, loud, loud, quiet, fast, loud. WHICH TRACK DO YOU MOST ENJOY PERFORMING? The last one - because that means it's time to go to the bar. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU DO AFTER A GIG? Go to the bar. DO YOU EVER GET HOMESICK WHILE ON TOUR? Not at the moment, but maybe when we tour outside of the UK we might start to miss marmite and Sunday Roast. IS IT DISHEARTENING ON THE NIGHTS FEW PEOPLE TURN UP TO SEE YOU? Only if the few people who turn up don't give a fuck. YOU HAVE PLAYED WITH BANDS INCLUDING OK GO. WHO HAVE YOU MOST ENJOYED PLAYING WITH AND WHY? We've mostly enjoyed playing with ourselves. WILL YOU BE PLAYING AT ANY OF THE SUMMER FESTIVALS? No. Maybe. Fuck knows. MUSICALLY AND LYRICALLY, WHICH OF THE SONGS YOU'VE WRITTEN IS YOUR FAVOURITE? El Pussy and Do It Yourself WOULD YOU EVER CONSIDER DOING ANY COVERS? We do a great version of Sweet Home Alabama in sound check. WHAT IS THE BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT YOU COULD MAKE AS A BAND? Reu winning 'best haircut' at the Smash Hits Awards. DO YOU WEAR SOCKS IN BED? Joe: Yes Adrian: No but I sometimes wear them in the bath Reu: No, but scarf yes. JIm: No, just my Mojo WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR POCKETS RIGHT NOW? No money WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE WHOLE BIG BROTHER THING? Adrian: I think George Orwell is one of our greatest novelists IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN A LIFETIME OF FREE AND AVAILABLE SEX OR A LIFETIME OF FREE AND AVAILABLE BOOZE AND FAGS, WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE? James: The sex becasue you only need the fags and the booze when you're not shagging. Adrian: I'd rather have a lifetimes subscription to The London Review of Books than any of the above. DOES EATING CHEESE GIVE YOU NIGHTMARES? Joe: No, but sharing a bed on tour with James did. WHAT FIRST MADE YOU WANT TO PICK UP A GUITAR AND JOIN/FORM A BAND? James: The girls Adrian: The Beatles Joe: The money Reu: All of the above WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR ANYONE THINKING ABOUT STARTING UP A BAND? An interesting pair of shoes is important. ALL QUESTIONS BY SCREAMING TARTS. |
