SOHO DOLLS INTERVIEW
SMHTP caught up with the Soho Dolls surrounded by flowers in the depths of the Barfly venue in Brighton.
Their music’s been described as “A futuro-Dickensian sexual-terror dome” by the NME, which the band liked and agreed with. Their new album “Ribbed music for the numb generation” was produced by Robert Harder, who’s worked with a wide variety of artists such as Pete Doherty and Babyshambles in the past. So the band felt they were in very good hands all round.
Watch the video to hear why Matt learnt to play his double bass in double quick time and how Phil Collins, air drumming and “Easy lover” was an inspiration for picking up those sticks …well we’ve all been there.
FEATURED ARTIST
Foo Fighters
While he was drumming with Nirvana, Dave Grohl was recording original songs at home that never received public release. Those tapes would become the foundation of Foo Fighters, the band he formed in 1995, after the death of Kurt Cobain. Like Nirvana, Foo Fighters melded loud, heavy guitars with pretty melodies and mixed punk sensibilities with a sharp sense of pop songwriting.
