03Interview
Name, where are you from?
Molchat Doma - Roman Komogortsev, Pavel Kozlov and Egor Shkutko, from Minsk, Belarus.
Describe your style in three words?
R: Doc Martens. Levi’s. Fred Perry.
P: Converse. Short-pants. Polo.
E: I wear what I like.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
R: Depeche Mode at Minsk Arena, 2014.
P: Idles, Festival in Bourges, 2019. Mother
E: The Good, The Bad and The Queen, Festival Bol’ 2019.
If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
R: It would be New Order and The Cure. I would like to show them that we also know how to make good music!
P: The Cure and Foals.
E: Tears For Fears and Kraftwerk.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
R: It's hard to say now. When I was a little younger, I was the guy with the longest hair, which gave me the impression of both the musician and the personality as a whole. Now everything is different. I'm drawn to the '80s now - you know, vintage things, synthesizers, music, movies.
P: Indie wave, '70s.
E: '80s too.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
R: John Frusciante.
P: Sid Barrett.
E: Thom Yorke.
Of all the independent venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?
R: Botanique, Brussels. Immediately the impression was created that we were playing in a tower. There were a lot of famous bands playing in the past. A very beautiful, theatrical stage.
P: Doomroosje, Nijmegen,NL.
E: Kablys, Vilnius.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
R: Stephen John Harrington (Steve Strange). A legendary person from '80s new wave.
E: An old band from the UK - Yazoo.
