Musicians — London
03Interview
Name?
M O S E S
Where are you from?
From all over the world, formed and based in London.
What do you do?
We give you music.
Describe your style in three words?
Just let loose.
What’s the best gig you’ve ever been to?
An Iggy Pop gig - still have his smashed water bottle.
Oh, and the SLAVES gig at 2000 Trees this summer. That mosh pit - wow!
If you could be on the line up with any two bands in history?
The Clash and Oasis.
Which subcultures have influenced you?
Mostly, our neighbours :) and punk.
If you could spend an hour with anyone from history?
Tough choice. Let’s get Orwell in the room for half an hour and Cleopatra for the other half.
Of all the venues you’ve played, which is your favourite?
Reading and Leeds was amazing, so we’re gonna go with the BBC Introducing stage this year. It’s not really a venue, but we really wanted to brag about it.
Your greatest unsung hero or heroine in music?
Mick Jones from The Clash. When you say The Clash, 90% of the people think about Joe Strummer, but for us, the hero is Mick Jones; fantastic writer and amazing person! Would be really cool to meet him one day!
