Dimbleby & Capper
Hot new act Dimbleby & Capper is the alias of 22 year-old singer, producer and remixer Laura Bettinson. Already tipped to be massive (and giving away free stuff on the site) we asked her the 15 questions we ask everyone.
Hello there little monster, what are you up to?
I am editing a session for 'Basses'- a new track of mine, a working progress.
So, tell me a bit about what you’re here to promote?
Me, ME, ME! I put all my music out under the name of Dimbleby & Capper. So D&C is what I am here to promote.
And if we didn’t have any clue as to who you were, what three words sum you up?
Bad, badder, badass.
And as Jacko had the Moonwalk and Elvis had the snake hips, what do you have that makes you unique?
I wear tape on my boobs at shows. Because it feels GOOD.
Now, clearly we need to get to know each other more, so tell me an interesting fact about you that noone else knows?
I once ran for president. Yeah, didn't get it. Not American.
What song do you wish you’d written?
Charles & Eddie's "Would I Lie To You". Tune.
If I was contemplating coming to your show or sitting at home and TV, how would you convince me to come out?
Boys in hoods and masks. Girl in heels and tape. Makes for a sticky beginnings and ends....
And if you were to take me on a trip to your hometown, what would be the first place we’d go?
My parents' alpaca farm. Yeah, you did read that right. ALPACA farm. No joke.
Who was the last person you called / text and what for?
It was my sister's best friend as my sister is getting married in a couple of weeks and Kate (textee) is arranging the hen weekend. We're going to the coast.
If you were a superhero, what would be your superpower?
I've always liked the idea of apparition. Not sure that would benefit mankind much, though it would make my life a heck of a lot speedier.
If you had to date a member of the same sex (or opposite sex if the case may be) who would it be? Mine would ALWAYS be Angelina Jolie.
I'm a little bit in love with early Natalie Portman (a little perverse, i know, bite me). Her or Jean Seberg (it's that crop doo baby)
What was the last thing you bought?
This wonderful jewelled crucifx pendant necklace on a looooong chain. It's huge, weighs a ton! Not religious in the slightest, but that makes it OK to parade it right? No? Oh.
Have you ever been arrested?
No. Been in plenty of cat-fights though.
Speaking of prison - if you were to send someone to prison for crimes against music, who would it be?
In the chart right now? Scouting For Girls, whack 'em in a cell with the Glee cast while you're at it.
What were you doing last night at 11?
I was watching Alice in Wonderland at the cinema. Had my 3D glasses on, yeah I did. I actually thought Depp's Hatter was divine, although I did feel like I was watching a two and a half hour fashion ad for most of it. Distracting, Burton. Very distracting.
