The Green Brothers
Musicians — Essex
03Interview
Name, where are you from?
Albert, George & Chaz from Essex.
Describe your style in three words?
A: Not too shabby.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
G: alt-J Royal Albert Hall: I was given a front-row ticket for nothing on Twitter. Collecting the ticket I wasn’t sure whether I was about to be stolen or surprised. Luckily was the latter.
A: The Specials at Cambridge Corn Exchange; opening with 'Ghost Town' revealing the band as the smoke cleared the stage - they know how to start a gig.
C: Biffy Clyro at Shepherds Bush Empire. They played loads of rarities and deep cuts.
If you could be on the line up with any two artists in history?
G: The Clash & The Libertines. What an after-party that would be.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
A: Punk, in the same way, it has affected so many aspects of culture/society; by encouraging people to step outside the box and do some of your own thinking.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
A: Elvis Presley. He was the first of his kind and I'd imagine he’d have some nuts stories.
Of all the venues you’ve been to or played, which is your favourite?
G: 100 Club - It's like stepping back in time walking down into that venue, what a place.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
C: Mike Dirnt - Bass player of Green Day. It’s easy to follow root notes playing bass but he often plays cool melodies over the simpler guitar parts.
