Any Other Questions with... Blaenavon

Hello. How are you?

A bit uptight. I shouted a bit earlier.

What have you been up to today?

Learning to play 'Mr. Brightside' on the guitar. It's not too hard but it's become obvious to me that the lead guitarist of 'The Killers' had a lengthy left hand.

What’s your biggest accomplishment?

I won an award at my secondary school prom. I think they gave me the wrong medal though. I was expecting 'Most Likely To Be A Fucking Bossman', but I was given 'Facebook Addict' instead.

What’s the best song you’ve written or played on?

I wrote a song called 'Toothpick Baby Sick' that hasn't been released yet because apparently, the market for that type of music doesn't exist in this universe, yet.

Reading or Leeds?

Banned from both.

How punk are you out of ten?

See above.

You have to support either U2 or Red Hot Chili Peppers on tour. Who do you pick?

Support Red Hot Chili Peppers, and U2 are first on, and The Edge borrows my amp, but he can't get the tone quite shiny enough so he storms off and Bono has to convince him it's okay and he comes back on, and it's okay.

Who’s your favourite new band?

The Night Café are my favourite new band and favourite new friends.

What was the first record you bought?

I didn't pay for it, but I remember being excited to keep the free CD you get for your car at Longleat Safari Park. It hasn't aged amazingly but still got a lot of enjoyable listens out of it.

Who was your favourite musician or band when you were 14?

The Edge.

What did you have for breakfast?

Frank cooked me Egg Noodle.

What did you last dream about?
