Interview:
Metronomy kurz vor ihrem Gig

16.07.2012

JW: So, what about drugs?

Well, we don’t do any drugs.

JW: (Jeder hat ein großes Glas Bier vor sich stehen) Just alcohol… sometimes?

Yeah, and a little bit of weed. Some acid every now and then. Mushrooms… the usual, you know? Crack…

JW: Most stupid questions you’ve ever been asked?

Joseph: Fuck. That’s difficult. There’s a lot. It’s more like situations. We were sitting and talking and this guy from some magazine said „Joseph Mouth is a strange name, right?“ Or even Jason Mouth. That’s quite stupid. Oh and „How did you get your name?“ That’s boring.

JW: Are names important?

Joseph: Maybe at the beginning they’re important, but after a while it doesnt really matter, does it? I mean.. Coldplay – what does that mean? 

Anna: Arctic Monkeys – I thought that was a stupid name and now look at them! 

In Germany people say Metronomy is kind of a hype – is hype a good thing?

Joseph: It’s funny, because in England you associate hype bands with bands you never heard of before. They just come along, suddenly, being written about and talked about. It’s kind of unusual maybe for that to happen on like a third album. But… It’s nice to be hyped once in a while.

Who or what do you hype?

Anna: „X-Files“. We watch „X-Files“ a lot. Maybe we should hype new series.

It’s kind of in fashion not to have a TV at home – What do you think: Is TV stupid?

Joseph: Wait… If you don’t have a TV, you are not cool.

Anna: I just don’t have one, because I couldn’t afford it. Oh and you have to pay for the TV license in the UK. You can only watch the blackandwhite for free. I was looking for some b&w- tv, but its heavily discounted – so I couldn’t find one. Crazy.

 

Any theme you would choose for a party with your friends?

Joseph: I’ve got in fact a good one: Dress like you did when you were 13 years old!

How did you dress these times?

Joseph: Well, I would be wearing like really big baggy trousers, a big longsleeve „Pearl Jam“- T-shirt and really big curtains on my hair… and you, Anna?

Anna: Puuh.. I had a Trench Coat (verzieht das Gesicht).
