Musicians — Leeds
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
L’objectif, Leeds.
Describe your style in three words?
Smart, oversized, vintage.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
David Byrne at Leeds Arena. It was like I was watching a play, just an incredible performance.
If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
The Stone Roses would be one. The crowd would be amazing, energy and passion. Gorillaz as well, their live shows look unreal.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
I wouldn’t say the band specifically fits into a specific subculture. For example, we are inspired by many, including hip-hop, punk, grunge and shoegaze. I wouldn’t want to claim we are solely part of one or fully fit into one.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
David Bowie. He would have wise words of advice I can imagine from an artists perspective. Also, it's David Bowie.
Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
Brudenell Social Club, Leeds. Best venue we’ve been to for sure, so so cool, a lot of our musical memories started from there and our desire to be on stage.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Television, an extremely influential band on guitar music. Deserve more attention for sure.
L'objectif recently released their new single 'Drive In Mind'. Listen, purchase or stream it via lobjectif.ffm.to/driveinmind.
