London:
I acquired maintain of the entire Luis Bunuel movie assortment simply earlier than writing the lyrics and began to observe one film after the opposite and acquired completely obsessed by him and the surrealist worlds he creates. It seems like a bizarre stream of consciousness at occasions and I completely fell in love with how he is ready to translate these ideas into an precise film. I discovered that very inspiring, particularly fell in love with, The Discreet Attraction of the Bourgeoisie and The Phantom of Liberty – each from the ’70s. Being in that Bunuel mindset on the time, I suppose it was no marvel that a few of the peculiar lyrics for Go Wild got here to me.
ESG:
Nonetheless the most well liked band on this planet. I can’t consider I found ESG only some years in the past. What was I doing all my life earlier than ESG? To me, they’re coolness personified and far more than that: so groovy, hooky and minimalistic. All the things I really like mixed in a single band. I lately noticed them dwell on their final tour on the Jazz Cafe in London. I freaking beloved it and naturally couldn’t cease dancing all evening.
My Band:
At all times an inspiration for ‘going wild’ — not solely on stage! I really like them a lot! Our energies mixed in a single room or on one stage will be fairly particular and overwhelming which provides one other layer of irony to the music, given the story and sound of the observe.
Patti Smith:
Her manner of writing, her poetry, the life as an artist again within the late 60s and early 70s in New York, which she describes so superbly in her ebook Simply Children, has all the time been an enormous inspiration for me. She can be an inspiration to simply keep true to your self, be enthusiastic about what you’re doing and by no means ever compromise!
