You have participated in the Emergenza Festival Edition 2015/2016. What made you decide to take part in it?
An old friend signed us into competition two years ago without telling it to the band! hahaha and a few months before the first show someone called us from France to ask if the band continued playing and if we wanted to participate at Emergenza Fest. We just say YES!
As you approach the world final, what is your state of mind?
Each one has a very different one, but we all are really excited about that.
What is your best memory from your Emergenza experience?
The first concert, because there were a lot of our friends giving us their love. And, of course, the last one, when Loic announced us as the national winners.
What's behind your band's name? Any specific meaning?
Hmmm.. it’s not so difficult hahahaha. It’s all about the pleasure.
If you had to choose a famous song that represents your band...which one would it be? Just one?!
So difficult… maybe “These are the days (Jamie Cullum)” or “By Fire (Hiatus Kaiyote)
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?
On stage: while we were playing at a show, the lights turned off and the audience continued singing the lyrics!! It was exciting. On backstage: We were playing out and our car closed with the keys and all the instruments inside, just 30 min before the soundcheck!! Porcel finally opened the car with just a rock, a shoe string and a small branch.
How would you describe your music ?
We’re a “groove and feel” band, so we love mid tempo, when we can make the audience move their head and feel the song.
Before you go on stage, do you have a ritual or a good luck charm that goes everywhere with you?
If we find some screws in the floor it’s a good signal for us,specially for the singer. We also make a circle between us an shout “Orjazzmic”!
What is your dream gig?
A gig in a big theater, with a lot of people singing and dancing our songs.
What can audiences expect from one of your live performances?
A musical orgasm, I hope!
If you could invite a band or an artist at your party, dead or alive, who would it be?
Snarky Puppy I think, we really admire them.
What are your short to medium term plans after the international final?
We want our music and show to keep growing and reach new audiences and countries.
What inspires you when you are composing (musical inspirations or others)?
We just play some music, and depending on the day…maybe one day we’re angry and other we wanna have fun and shake our body…so it just depends on the moment. ofalternativa: “it depends on the day. Maybe we are angry, or maybe we just want to have fun. We just play some music”
What question did I forget?
What about your next CD? We’re about to start recording it! We have just composed the new songs, and we’re preparing the recording.
Why do you think you deserve to win the 2016 Festival edition?
Because we believe in what we do.
