Thanks! Yeah it was live. We were pretty nervous which showed in the first song :S
It was like this:
We turned up at 7:30 and they basically told us where to sit (which was directly opposite the presenter) pointed some mics at us, asked us to go through one song and then we had to go outside and wait to come on, which was after about 30 mins. We came in, sat down, said hi and played!
I had an awful cold the previous day so was jacked up on sudafed, nose spray and coca cola
Yeah, I wasn't prepared for an interview at all - we hadn't been told about that! Of course the answers I wanted to say come after the event:
In response to what I was thinking when I wrote the biography: 'I was thinking, shit, I have 180 characters to fill...'
Agree with the influences question - in many ways you try and avoid sounding like your favourite bands so you can't really list them as influences. In other ways, if you list your influences everyone will know where you are stealing material from
And the name of that damned band I couldn't remember is The Corries :S
The studios are probably like you imagine (lots of screens and knobs and dim lights), but much smaller than I thought they would be. Although it was only Hull, so that may account for it!
