What are the band up to at the moment?
We're about to release a down loadable single called "The Ex Factor" on Daddy Fresh Music. This will be our second single release. Then we are looking to begin recording our debut album with JJ Burnel from the Stranglers as producer. Which is bloody cool innit? We also have a track that will be featured on UK horror film Reverb.
Best gig you have played so far?
Playing the Leftfield stage at Glastonbury 2005 was phenomonal. But we have the most fun playing all round the country in intimate venues. We usually enjoy every time we play. It's live and unpredictable so if things cock up we just laugh about it.
Whats your opinion of the UK music scene at the minute?
My Space has opened my eyes somewhat to new bands and there are great bands out there. Just doesn't seem to be that they are getting signed. And if you're a woman it's like you're invisible on the whole. My favourite new UK band would have to be the Long Blondes as it's so refreshing to see women rising to the top without any novelty or gimmicks. They aren't exactly my cup of tea musically but I can see where they're coming from and that's cool. There are exciting female fronted bands like the Gossip coming out of America and I hope that trend continues.
Favourite Teasing LuLu record and why?
Seeing as I'm the bass player I'd just pick all the bassy tunes. haha. Um...we love them all actually. It's really hard to choose. It's like picking your favourite child. How could you?
Who are your heroes and why?
My musical hero is JJ Burnel which is lucky as we are working with him and thankfully he's a great bloke. He's like our Uncle and always there for some honest advice. Lucy is really into PJ Harvey and I think was influenced musically by her and the band Blur amongst many others. Jason is a fan of Travis Barker's drumming (Blink 182) and is almost catching up on the tattoo quota as well.
Favourite all time band and album?
We all like different bands and different albums. I could give you a top ten easily, but to name one is pushing it a bit. Personally I'd probably pick a Stranglers record though - dunno which one. They're all blinding. We all collectively like QOTSA and the Foo Fighters. I reckon they're the bands we have in common with each other.
Who rocks your world right now?
The Gossip and the Eagles of Death Metal who are absolutely awesome. Jason is much more up to date on the new bands. I'm quite ill informed and I can't be arsed to read the NME and the like. .
What makes you happy?
Playing in Teasing LuLu. It's a bitter sweet experinence being in a band but we wouldn't change it for the world.
Tell us what annoys you?
Questions.
Favourite bevy and how often do you indulge?
Indulge far too often and we drink anything.
What will you be doing in 10 years time?
Hopefully sat with out feet up counting our rock star millions.
Do you have a message for the world?
Watch out!
