| AN INTERVIEW WITH... MAXI FROM KING ADORA. HEY MAXI. YOU�VE BEEN OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE FOR AWHILE NOW. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO IN YOUR TIME AWAY? Preparing to get back in the public eye, where we belong! YOU HAVE JUST BEEN OUT ON TOUR. IT MUST BE GOOD TO BE BACK AND PLAYING LIVE AGAIN? It was a fantastic tour and where we feel most comfortable. Another one just weeks away! YOU�VE TOURED WITH BANDS INCLUDING EASYWORLD. WHO HAVE YOU MOST ENJOYED PLAYING WITH AND WHY? Easyworld and Crackout will always be special 2 us. Glitterati were fab on last tour though. DO YOU GET NERVOUS BEFORE GOING ON STAGE? Occasionally, but alcohol is a wonderful calming influence. HOW DO YOU STRUCTURE YOUR SET? We try and get a good balance between old and new, and make it dynamically exciting for the audience. WHICH TRACK DO YOU MOST ENJOY PERFORMING? It varies; Smoulder is always great fun but I like asleep at the moment. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU DO AFTER A GIG? Lie down, hyperventalate, fag, drink, sorted. DO YOU EVER GET HOMESICK WHILE ON TOUR? We're most at home on tour to be honest. IS IT DISHEARTENING ON THE NIGHTS FEW PEOPLE TURN UP TO SEE YOU? Most places are still good but you have to perform no matter how many are there. HAVE YOU GOT ANY PLANS TO TOUR OUTSIDE OF THE UK? Japan in late spring hopefully and europe later in the year. ANY PLANS TO TOUR WITH FELLOW BRUM BAND OCEAN COLOUR SCENE?!! Er no! We still have our self respect! HOW HAS THE NEW MATERIAL GONE DOWN WITH FANS? Judging by reaction, pretty good I feel SOME OF THE �NEW� TRACKS ARE ACTUALLY WELL OVER A YEAR OLD!! BET YOU�RE LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THE NEW ALBUM OUT? Tell me about it! not long now though and they still sound fresh to us. HAVE YOU DECIDED WHAT THE ALBUM WILL BE CALLED YET? The album is called " Who do you love? " WHAT CAN FANS EXPECT FROM IT? HOW WILL IT DIFFER FROM �VIBRATE YOU�? Its a mixture of where we were, where we're and where we are going! I�VE HEARD THAT LIVE FAVOURITE �TOKYO HONEY� WON�T BE INCLUDED ON THE ALBUM. IS THIS TRUE AND IF SO WHY? Unfortuneately, theres a legal thing with mercury on it but we shall conquer and get it out in the future. CAN YOU REVEAL THE FINAL TRACK LISTING TO US OR IS IT ALL TOP SECRET?! Tis on the website now! WHAT IS NEW SINGLE �DRAG� ABOUT? Its a celebration of dressing up and of living two seperate lives, with a bit of a love story twist. ANY IDEA WHAT THE NEXT SINGLE WILL BE OR WHEN IT WILL BE OUT? The next single will be out after the album and album tour, so may i would guess. 2 soon 2 say what it will be. WHAT REASONS DID �MERCURY� GIVE FOR DROPPING YOU? The new people wanted to sign their own bands, that it! crap eh? MUST HAVE BEEN A TOUGH TIME FOR THE BAND? DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT HANGING UP YOUR FEATHER BOAS AND CALLING IT A DAY? It was a very tough time for us personally but there was never a question of giving up, it was too important to us and we wouldn't let the fans down. HOW ARE THINGS GOING ON YOUR NEW LABEL? Its okay, early days really but relationship is good. AS A BAND, WHO ARE YOUR INFLUENCES? Too many to mention....bolan, bowie, queen, stones, GnR, aerosmith, blondie etc MUSICALLY AND LYRICALLY, WHICH OF THE SONGS YOU'VE WRITTEN IS YOUR FAVOURITE? Lyrically I guess perhaps suffocate, big isn't beautiful, asleep just coz they are very personal to me....musically perhaps Drag, Born to Lose, Sweet abandon WOULD YOU EVER CONSIDER DOING ANY COVERS? now and again, we may pull one out soon. HOW AND WHY DID YOU GET INVOLVED WITH THE �LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM� CAMPAIGN? Any kind of bigotry angers us especially racism and it felt like a good project plus to a degree we understand hatred and at times I feel like we are the blacks, irish, gays, women, disabled of the music scene. WHAT IS THE BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT YOU COULD MAKE AS A BAND? To sell a million and play across the world would show a few people up i reckon IF YOU COULD INTERVIEW YOURSELVES, WHAT QUESTIONS WOULD YOU ASK? What the hell do you look like? and What the hell are you doing? WHAT DO YOU THINK OF TV SHOWS SUCH AS POP IDOL AND FAME ACADEMY? They serve a purpose but more often than not are very dangerous DO YOU EVER READ ANY OF THE MESSAGES YOUR FANS LEAVE ON YOUR GUESTBOOK THING? Now and again. Its good to hear some feedback WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE BRAND OF EYELINER? Deep black pencil by astor and liquid eyeliner by the body shop WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE GUITAR? My darling SG WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME? Daydream WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE TV SHOW AS A CHILD? Cities of Gold, Grange Hill, Roadrunner TELL US ABOUT THE �REBEL REBEL� CLUB NIGHT YOU�RE INVOLVED WITH. Its just a cool glam club, with good music, good people and cheap drinks. A haven if you like from tossers and boredom WHAT FIRST MADE YOU WANT TO PICK UP A GUITAR AND JOIN/FORM A BAND? the will of instinct, dreams, curiosity??? who knows but it worked WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR ANYONE THINKING ABOUT STARTING UP A BAND? Look great, sound better, sign nothing ALL QUESTIONS BY SCREAMING TARTS. |
