Stereo MC's
One of the UK's most iconic bands, and with Mercury nominations, Brit awards and million-selling albums behind them, the Stereo MCs return to their hometown to open Ether Festival. I caught up with the guys to see how they cope with the 15 Questions We Ask Everyone.
Hello there little monster, what are you up to?
Living and breathing.
So, tell me a bit about what you’re here to promote?
A night of the Ether Music Festival on the Southbank. We’re onstage full band with The Bays, Herbaliser, Tom Middleton and more.
And if we didn’t have any clue as to who you were, what should we be looking up on Google?
www.myspace.com/stereomcsofficial
And as Jacko had the Moonwalk and Elvis had the snake hips, what do you have that makes you unique?
The Hunchback Skank
Now, clearly we need to get to know each other more, so tell me an interesting fact about you that no one else knows?
Come closer and I’ll whisper it in your ear.
What song do you wish you’d written?
Anarchy in the UK
If I was contemplating coming to your show or sitting at home and watching TV, how would you convince me to come out?
I’m having a night off you wanna get on the mic?
And if you were to take me on a trip to your hometown, where would be the first place we’d go?
Sherwood Forest, meet my ancestors.
What’s the best prank you’ve ever pulled on someone?
Dunno but I had a few pulled on me like being left at a German motorway stop at 5 in the morning in my shorts cause I stepped out to pee, how I laughed…
And what’s the most daring thing you’ve ever done?
Made the sound I felt like making instead of the one I was expected to make.
If you had to date a member of the same sex (or opposite sex if the case may be) who would it be?
My missus
Have you ever been naked in public? Elaborate.
My ex-girlfriend dared me to streak across Clapham Copmmon and had to run fast enough.
Have you ever been arrested? Again, elaborate.
See above
Speaking of prison - if you were to send someone to prison for crimes against music, who would it be?
Live and let live. No one gonna stop me doing what I do and they make me think what I do is criminal.
What were you doing last night at 11?
DJ’ing in Bern Switzerland till 6 in the morning.
