Derek Siow
Hello there little monster, what are you up to?
Keeping warm and healthy for my upcoming shows in London, so trying to stay out of the cold!
So, tell me a bit about what you’re here to promote?
My debut single ‘We Were’ releases on Monday 6 December 2010. You can download it now!
And if we didn’t have any clue as to who you were, what three words sum you up?
High Speed Rollercoaster
And as Jacko had the Moonwalk and Elvis had the snake hips, what do you have that makes you unique?
Not sure I can dance like either of those two! I was lucky enough to see Michael Jackson live a few times and his shows were unbelievable. Absolutely amazing. I am into wrestling though, so maybe I could invent my own signature finishing move…
Now, clearly we need to get to know each other more, so tell me an interesting fact about you that noone else knows?
I can sing the alphabet song in Italian.
What song do you wish you’d written?
This is an impossible question to answer because there are so many great songs that have been written.
But if I had to choose one, I’d choose “Smelly Cat” by Phoebe Buffay.
If I was contemplating coming to your show or sitting at home and TV, how would you convince me to come out?
My drummer looks like Cristiano Ronaldo.
And if you were to take me on a trip to your hometown, what would be the first place we’d go?
My hometown is Melbourne Australia so the first place would be Chapel Street because there are so many cool cafes and bars we could go for cake and coffee. Every thing’s there, great restaurants, nightclubs, there’s hundreds of fashion boutiques I know you’d enjoy so I’m sure you’d have a great time.
Who was the last person you called / text and what for?
To my bass player regarding the PA system in his studio (boring and work related, pity you didn’t ask this question at 2am last night!)
If you were a superhero, what would be your superpower?
Super–eating, where I would burn calories every time I ate something... like pizza... coz calories ARE the bad-guys.
If you had to date a member of the same sex who would it be?
I watch heaps of movies and I have a lot of respect for the artistic actors so someone like Johnny Depp would be cool to hang out with.
What was the last thing you bought?
Five pounds worth of lemon grass. It was cheap.
Have you ever been arrested?
Next.
Speaking of prison - if you were to send someone to prison for crimes against music, who would it be?
Prison’s pretty harsh, but the guys who did the “118-118” commercial absolutely killed the “Ghostbusters” song for me.
What were you doing last night at 11?
I was coming home from rehearsal with my band, surprise surprise!
Thanks! Have a great day,
