Interviu: Trash Fashion

Trash Fashion, adica Jet Storm (voce, clape), Mason Storm (voce, chitara), Bam Bam (tobe), Jimbo Ready (bass), vor canta pe 13 noiembrie in Club Fabrica in cadrul evenimentului Underlondon 5. Si dupa ce le-am vazut cateva videoclipuri am simtit nevoia de a le adresa si cateva intrebari.  

Varianta originala in engleza a interviului se gaseste mai jos (for the English version, see below)

Asculta Dave Rave:

Muzica voastra si numele trupei inseamna si o critica adusa modei si societatii de consum?

Haha, da, intr-un fel. Trash Fashion trebuia sa insemne "Fuck Fashion", noi am incercat intotdeauna sa facem ceva mai diferit si sa purtam hainele pe care nimeni altcineva nu voia sa le poarte! Dar nu eram chiar niste activisti politici! 
 
De obicei atunci cand vorbesc despre muzica voastra criticii spun ca suna ca "o colectie gonzo de electro, disco, pop si rock". Asa o vedeti si voi sau ar mai fi ceva de adaugat?

Ca sa fiu sincer, cred ca e o descriere destul de buna! Nu ne-am propus niciodata sa scriem un anume gen de muzica asa ca am ajuns pur si simplu sa cantam chestii care ne placeau in acel moment, daca ma intelegi. Din fericire, asta inseamna ca sound-ul nostru evolueaza pe zi ce trece si ca noi incercam tot timpul sa facem ceva nou!

Unele dintre piesele voastre se afla tot timpul in mp3 player-ul meu si de fiecare data cand le ascult, indiferent unde as fi, nu pot sa  ma abtin sa nu-mi misc picioarele. De unde va trageti toata energia asta pe care o puneti in muzica voastra?

Sa fiu al naibii daca stiu! Muzica inseamna distractie a dracului de buna, omule! Nu-i inteleg pe interpretii plictisiti!! 

Care crezi ca e cea mai buna piesa a voastra si exista una pe care v-ati fi dorit sa n-o fi cantat niciodata?

La nivel personal cred ca Night of Error este cea mai buna piesa pe care am scris-o pentru TF (trebuie neaparat sa ascultati versiunea de 6 minute de pe album!), iar Rave Dave este in mod evident o piesa care ne-a ajutat foarte mult, dar in acelasi timp cred ca ne-a facut si un pic de rau in mai multe privinte! Fie a placut, fie lumea a detestat-o!! 
 
La festivalul Underlondon din Bucuresti veti fi pe acelasi afis cu Robots in Disguise - ce simtiti in legatura cu acest lucru?

Yeah, foarte tare! Am mai cantat o data cu ele in Birmingham. Sunt niste tipe foarte misto! Sa-i dam druuuuumuuuu'!!

Ascultati si Night of Error:

(ENGLISH VERSION)

Is there an implied criticism towards fashion, consumerism in your band name or music?

Haha, yeah, kind of. Trash Fashion was meant to mean "Fuck Fashion", and we always tried to do something a bit different and wear the clothes that no one else wanted to wear! But we're not exactly political activists! 
 
When talking about your music, critics usually say that it sounds like a collection of gonzo electro, disco, pop and rock'. Is that also the way you see it or is there more to it?

That's probably a pretty good description to be fair! We never set out to write a certain type, so we just end up playing stuff we're into at the time innit. Hopefully that means our sound keeps evolving and we keep trying to do something new!

Some of your tracks are always on my mp3 player and every time I listen to them, regardless where, I can't help moving my legs. Where do you get all that energy that you put in your music from?

Hell I dunno! Music is fucking good fun, man! I don't get miserable performers!! 
 

Which do you think is your best track and is there one that you wish you'd never played?

On a personal level I reckon Night of Error is the best track I've written for TF, (u need to listen to the 6 minute album version tho!), and Rave Dave is obviously a track that has been really good for us, but also maybe a bit bad in lots of respects! Musical marmite!! 
 
At the UnderLondon festival in Bucharest you'll be on the same line-up with Robots in Disguise - how do you feel about that?

Yeah wicked! We played with them once before in Birmingham. They're great guys innit! Bring it aaaaooowwwn!!
