| AN INTERVIEW WITH�. JOHAN FROM MEW. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T ALREADY KNOW, WHO IS IN MEW AND WHAT DOES EACH MEMBER DO? We�re four friends playing pretencious art rock. Silas does the drumming, Bo the guitar jangling, Jonas the vocs and johan the bass rumbling. HOW DID YOU ALL MEET AND COME TO FORM MEW TOGETHER? Jonas, bo and Johan met at elementry school and formed the band. Silas joind a little later, then we became Mew. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF MUSIC? P.A.R. (Pretencious Art Rock) WHO ARE YOUR INFLUENCES? All the good bands, the original ones: Afghan Whigs, Pixies, My Bloody Valentine, Smashing Pumpkins etc... WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO CALL YOURSELVES MEW? Right said Fred was already taken. YOU'VE ALREADY RELEASED YOUR DEBUT ALBUM, 'FRENGERS'. TELL US ALITTLE ABOUT IT. It�s the best album we could have done at the time. It�s pretty good for a bunch of guys from Hellerup, Denmark. I'VE HEARD A RUMOUR THAT '156' WILL BE YOUR NEXT SINGLE. IS THIS TRUE? I don�t know as yet. AS A BAND, WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT TO DATE? Hearing our songs on the radio for the first time... YOU'VE PLAYED WITH LOTS OF DIFFERENT BANDS. WHO HAVE YOU MOST ENJOYED PLAYING WITH AND WHY? Sigur Ros thaught us a thing or two about playing live, they kicked our butts! IF YOU COULD PLAY WITH ANY OTHER BAND IN THE WORLD, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY? U2, because they would draw the biggest crowd. DO YOU GET NERVOUS BEFORE GOING ON STAGE? Some of us do and some of us don�t HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT GETTING YOUR FIRST GIG? We called the venue up and got on the bill. YOU RECENTLY PLAYED GLASTONBURY. HOW DID IT GO? Sweet, the best and biggest gig we�ve done so far here in the UK... 5000 singing britts.... how nice!! YOU'RE FROM DENMARK. IS IT COLD THERE?! It�s just like the UK. HOW DOES THE MUSIC SCENE IN DENMARK COMPARE TO THAT OF THE UK SCENE? It�s smaller and used to be shit but it�s getting better by the minute. CAN YOU RECOMMEND TO US SOME BANDS WE SHOULD BE CHECKING OUT? Check out bands such as Kashmir, Superheroes, Junior Senior and Swan Lee. WHICH OF YOUR LYRICS ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF? We all like the "Symmetry" lyric. WHAT FIRST MADE YOU WANT TO JOIN/FORM A BAND? The love of hanging out as friends.. That�s still the key! WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR ANYONE THINKING ABOUT STARTING UP A BAND? Make sure to really know and like your fellow potentiel bandmembers, before starting a band. ALL QUESTIONS BY MR MARTYN. |
