You have participated in the Emergenza Festival Edition 2015/2016. What made you decide to take part in it?
Well, we received a nice email from Martin Arthur Jensen where he kindly invited us to join the competition. SNØs recent members hadn’t been playing together for too long, and we jumped at the opportunity to get on stage together.

As you approach the world final, what is your state of mind?
It feels rather unreal. But we can’t wait to do a hell of a gig in Germany in August. We want to win the whole thing. :D
 
What is your best memory from your Emergenza experience?
Winning in our own city, Bergen, was a rather magical experience.

What's behind your band's name? Any specific meaning?
The winter is coming, and so is the SNOW!

If you had to choose a famous song that represents your band...which one would it be?
Radiohead – Paranoid Android

Can you tell us a funny story or anecdote about your experience on stage? And one which happened in backstage or during the preparation of a show?
Well, while we were preparing for the international finals in Oslo at Rockefeller, we all fell a sleep for 15 minutes…

How would you describe your music?
Epic, 
eclectic, REAL – from the bottom of our hearts…

Before you go on stage, do you have a ritual or a good luck charm that goes everywhere with you?
Yes, we have.

What is your dream gig?
Split gig with Jeff Buckley :(

What can audiences expect from one of your live performances?
Six musicians playing music as if the world is a free place.

If you could invite a band or an artist at your party, dead or alive, who would it be?
Mozart – Jeff Buckley

What are your short to medium term plans after the international final?
Studio – hopefully giging everywhere – we are a live band, that’s just the way it is!

What inspires you when you are composing (musical inspirations or others)?
Colours.

What question did I forget?
How is the weather? It's snowing!

Why do you think you deserve to win the 2016 Festival edition?
Because you haven’t heard SNØ before!
