This week, rather than ramble on again about upcoming gigs (13th at the George IV, 20th at Steampunk Weekend at The Commandery, 27th at Hallowsteam), we feature an interview with our vocalist Linzi. So without further ado...heeeer's Linzi
Instrument(s);
The vocal chords. Some would say, in combination with a
lot of hot air.
Tell me about your
musical background;
Linzi; There are loads of CDs
on the wall in the background of this room...
Who or what do you
consider to be major influences on your music/playing;
Linzi; Darkness. The void. Monsters and Demons, Villains and Heroes. Also the doors, Nick Cave, cats and
METAL \m/
Favourite
bands/artists/composers – and why;
Linzi; See above. I like twisty clever lyrics and dark
vibes as well as some power in my choons.
I don’t like sappy ballads – everyone does them, and they’re just dull.
What interests do you
have in addition to music?
Linzi; I write – my first novel,
‘The Home Front (The Automata Wars)’ has just been published through The Last Line.
It’s a science-fiction with dashes of steampunk and horror. I’ve also contributed short stories to
all three volumes of the ‘Asylum’ steampunk compilations, also published by The
Last Line (if you want to know more about my writing and other stuff, you can
learn more at my website, where I, too, have a blog…).
I’m also interested in
history – currently studying for an MA in West Midlands history. And I make stuff. And I’m a sci-fi geek. And I like chocolate.
Any interesting facts or
stories about yourself that you feel people need to know about?
Linzi; I have been enslaved
by two cats. Please send help.
Also still waiting to
become the Doctor’s assistant. I’m
sure he’ll turn up one day…
Thanks Linzi.
Thanks Linzi.
In case anyone was wondering, we can confirm, that to accompany his spaghetti bolognese Dr Who prefers Dalek bread. Time to get my coat I believe.
That's all (for this week) folks, as ever if you have any comments or questions please get in touch through our Facebook page
Thanks for reading.
Great interview! I got about halfway through and saw you holding a Simon's Cat. That's made my day! :D
