THE VEGAS
L-R:
George, Rich (Who answered these questions), Cody & Tom
How did you get the band name?
It's more of a surname, after Vincent Vega from Pulp Fiction
Tell us about your latest/upcoming single/album
We've just finished recording a batch of new songs, some of which will be on our myspace and others will be on our next four track release.
What’s your favourite song to play live?
"Hold Back the Fire" - Brings everybody together at the end of the set.
What is the best live show you've played so far?
Probably our Headline set at "The Joiners" last Christmas
Where would your dream venue be to play a live show?
Pymarid stage, Saturday night, Glastonbury, no question.
What is the weirdest thing a fan has asked you to sign?
Probably their face.
Why do you love your fans so much?
The banter is always a laugh between us and the crowd, all about keeping up appearances :)
What song do you wish you had written?
Christ. Put me on the spot there. I reckon "Moonage Daydream" by Bowie. Best intro ever. "I'm an Alligator..."
What’s your favourite concept album?
"Comfort in Sound" by Feeder. Might sound wierd but it has the whole theme of losing someone close to you running right through it. It's a raw and very honest album. So under rated it's a crime.
What’s the weirdest conversation you have ever had with a fan?
One girl kept answering every sentence with "Sweet" in a Dutch accent. Quite disturbing after the tenth time.
Who argues the most?
Probably me and Tom our drummer, only because we're the most likely to be lock horns about something. Cody our guitarist is the quiet one and George our bass player is the diplomat.
Who has the worst habits and what is it?
Tom can quite often put his foot in his mouth with some choice words in very public places. Best not to elaborate on that.
Who is your idol, and why?
Grant Nicholas from Feeder. The guy is a songwriting machine and the reason I got into writing my own tunes and being in a band.
Would you ever play a gig naked?
I'd have to adjust my guitar strap to cover the necessary areas.
If you were a camel who would you most like to spit on?
Kanye West. What an arrogant prick.
Sum your music up in two words?
Honest Tuneage
What band would you love to play a show with?
Feeder. One of my aims is to support those guys one day. I could die a happy man
What are the plans for the future?
Keep playing and keep on rocking
