In no more than 25 words, explain what makes you different to what’s out there already…
“I don’t think anyone’s ever written a concept EP/album about a stickman before…”
It’s a wet and windy Tuesday evening in February and you’re on tour. Why should people venture out to come see you?
“To be cheered up by the prospect of a stickman riding through space on a horse to stop a demented tortoise from ruling the universe.”
Are you currently holding down other jobs? If so, what are they, and would you recommend them to other aspiring artists in need of cash?
“All in all we’re a mixed bag: I’m (Ant) in freelance sub-editing work, DJ is a website designer, Pick works at Ladbrokes, Liam works at the local Tesco and Pnut is a student waster. We’re a bunch of starving artists right now and our advice on this matter would be very unsound.”
You’re on top of a soapbox, telling everyone where you aspire to be in five years time. Where do you aim to be, and what’s your mission statement?
“We aim to be signed to Warp, where we will go on to release comics with our music! And people will get free ostriches with every purchase!”
For a bonus point – tell us a joke! You don’t have to, but if you feel the urge…
“The Mills – McCartney divorce settlement. Shit, it made us all laugh…” |
