Daniel-Luz Futura
Musician / Artist / Model — Madrid
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
Daniel Benavides del Pino. From Gran Canaria, Canary Islands.
What do you do?
Musician, artist, model and I work at Fred Perry shop in Madrid.
Describe your style in three words?
I simply dress what I like.
What's the best gig you’ve ever been to?
Health, in Barcelona by 2015.
If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
The Soft Moon and Ariel Pink. I think both of them represent a big part of my influences since I was a teen, although I admit that it’s difficult to choose only two bands from all the many processes I’ve been through, as I can easily say that could be also New Order and Pet Shop Boys.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
New Wave, '80s and Post Punk.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
David Byrne. I don’t know… I think we could get along well.
Of all the independent venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?
I keep a good memory of when I was on tour on Mexico and played at Club Atlántico at D.F. in 2014. People there are very passionate. I remember how warm was the audience and their effusivity.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Julian Casablancas and Tino Casal.
