![]() So that all takes its toll and winds itself up into a giant elastic band ball with us two stuck in the middle. And we love the popiness of Pavement and the surrealness of The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. For example we love a meaty Black Sabbath type guitar sound. Obviously we also have our musical influences. So we suppose we take inspiration from situations as they arise every day. It’s like taking everyday life and putting it under the microscope and realising that every damn thing is just fucking ridiculous. He always seemed to find the surreal in normal everyday things. We’re hugely influenced by the author Richard Brautigan who seems to see things in that way. It just depends what glasses you have on. Generally we are influenced by the magic and mundanity of everyday life. LTW: What are your main influences? Are these longstanding or are you finding new inspiration all the time? We’ve got a funny relationship with Lancaster. It’s important for us to stand up and stand out and say look we’re from round here, we’re a proper band and we still live here! There is no reason to turn yer back on where you are from, unless you hate the shithole you come from, which we do to a certain extent, but we also love it and defend it fiercely. ![]() It’s like you’ve got to cast off your roots and homogenise yourself in order to fit in. We think it’s bullshit that as a band there’s a lot of pressure on you to move to London or a big city to “make it” in the music industry. In fact it’s an integral part of our band. LTW: How important is place and regional identity to your music? Who knows what we’ll do next just whatever we want. More recently we’ve been more consistently heavy in our sound and have started dicking about with drum machines and that. Weird songs using weird instruments and we had quite a basic sound. When we first started out we did quite a lot of experimental stuff. Obviously what we enjoy doing has changed over the years. So we just make music that we get a kick out of doing. There are SO many miserable bands around that argue and end up falling out and splitting up and ultimately stop enjoying making music. Our main objective being in a band has always been to have fun and a party and enjoy playing together. Well, we don’t think our approach to making music has really changed in the last 10 years. LTW: How have things changed musically and in your approach over the 10 years you’ve been creating music? We grabbed a quick chat with the band before they piled into the van for the first date.
