The interview with Jasen from Melbourne, live @ 24Moons on Wednesday, June 10th for Emergenza Festival Australia:
PLEASE TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR BAND: HOW AND WHEN WAS IT BORN?
Born 3 to 4 years ago, I just wanna rock.
WHEN DID YOUR INTEREST IN MUSIC BEGIN? AND HOW HAS YOUR MUSIC CHANGED FROM THE MOMENT YOU BEGAN TO PLAY TOGETHER?
In the 80's till now for interest, but now that I play don't seek out new music as much, I rather create it.
HOW DO YOU CREATE A SONG? (WHO WRITES LYRICS, WHO MUSIC, ETC...?)
Usually first comes the words, something I'm going through that needs to be expressed, then a few different beats are created and then a few days later with the guitar all is mixed in together, if it works I keep rehearsing it for months.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MUSIC TO PEOPLE WHO DOESN'T KNOW YOU?
Rock, the way it used to be, with beats of today, something a bit new with a mix of the old.
WHICH BANDS INSPIRED AND INSPIRE YOU?
The following inspired: def lepard, duran duran, the cars, bon jovi, madonna, smashing pumpkins, brian adams, the offspring, george michael, prince, the cult, queen, van halen, kings of leon, zz top, green day and so many more, thank you all :)
TALK US ABOUT THE PECULIARITIES OF YOUR MUSIC!
It's just me, I sing, play electic guitar, run my ipad for drums & bass, I'm more alive than ever b4 & I give the best of me more often than not, I try not to make assumptions, I try not to take things personally, I try to be impeccable with my words.
HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT EMERGENZA FESTIVAL AND WHY YOU DECIDED TO TAKE PART IN IT?
Found out about it a couple of years ago, but had doubts. Now I wanna give it a go, just to get my music out there more.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM EMERGENZA AND HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR FIRST EMERGENZA CONCERT?
I just want to get my music out there. I'm open to more. I feel relaxed about my first concert, ask me again though when there is a day to go, I'll be different then.
Thank u for this opportunity.
