Bull In The Heather by Sonic Youth.
What artist(s) has been your biggest influence?
PJ Harvey.
Name a song that makes you happy and why does it have that effect?
The knife “Pass it on”, it’s a song that makes us happy and that makes us dance too !
What is the best new band that you’ve heard recently?
Speedy Oritz. It’s not really a new band but we saw them a few months ago for the first time.
What song would you like to have played at your funeral?
Is this desire ? (PJ Harvey)
