You have participated in the Emergenza Festival Edition 2014/2015. What made you decide to take part in it?
The first idea was to get easy gigs in places we would have not been able to play in. We also saw it as an opportunity to test our songs and to get better as a band.
As you approach the world final, what is your state of mind?
We want to kick some serious phat ass…
What is your best memory from your Emergenza experience?
The regional final in Le Bikini, at home and with a furious crowd. We had a blast.
What's behind your band's name? Any specific meaning?
We wanted to reflect the raw power and the instant fun we feel with our music.
If you had to choose a famous song that represents your band...which one would it be?
Tick Tick Boom by The Hives.
If your band had another name, what would it be?
A-huge-slap-in-your-face-before-breakfast-motherfucker!
Can you tell us a funny story or anecdote about your experience on stage?
Our traditional Subway snack before getting on stage makes us invincible ! As a matter of fact, the night before our national finale in Paris, one of us got food poisoned and couldn’t sleep. He was shacking all over until our magical sandwich. Soda and bread : no reason to be afraid.
What can audiences expect from one of your live performances?
We guarantee that you will forget anything else for the next twenty minutes.
Before you go on stage, do you have a ritual or a good luck charm that goes everywhere with you?
We get in a circle, tell a few jokes and remind ourselves we are the best band in the world.
What is your dream gig?
Playing in front of the Dalai Lama.
Do you guys have any hobbies? What do you do when you don’t play?
We eat Tortillas. Camille is a Krav Maga enthusiast. We eat Tortillas. Camille is a Krav Maga enthusiast. Romain spends his time photoshopping crappy pictures into hilarious ones. Guillermo likes indie videogames. Benoit spends days in home studio between two disastrous dates.
If you could invite a band or an artist at your party, dead or alive, who would it be?
Led Zeppelin
What are your short to medium term plans after the international final?
First, we will focus on writing new songs. Then, we will expand on Toulouse and the surroundings.
