The Screening is probably the most famous of this "new" bands Im following and supporting, Tom "singer" Nurse has took the time to answer to some questions. Is he always honest or is he kidding? You'll have to guess!!! :)
First of all, can you introduce the band? -
Yes, Tom1, Tom2, James and little Owen
How did you all meet? And where does come from the idea of creating the band?
We all lived within 200 yards of each other as kids and me and Jim went to the same school as did Tom L and Owen,,,me and Tom2 started the band as teenagers and it evolved over a couple of years until we found what we were looking for right under our er,,,noses!
Where does come this passion for music? Have you been influenced by an artist when you were younger who makes you wanna be a rockstar?
Many bands, many experiences, many people! No one in particular! its in the blood maaaan!
Are you writing the songs all together or each of you "in a corner" then put all the ideas together?
Me and Tom2 write the "kits."The songs may change in the studio, all depends on the song. We have no specific formula and the way we write can change from time to time depending on the mood!
What gives you the inspiration to write the songs?
Marijuana and booooooze...joking of course,everyday life situations, world conflict, death, love, the usual!!
How will you describe your music?
Bright and sparkling with a hint of decay!
How did you, each of you, decide, one day, to learn how to play an instrument?
I dont reckon you decide, it just happens! You either want to do it or you dont.
In the video clip of "ten green bottles", the band is playing "the role of the car radio", who's got this idea?
We are lucky enough to have many people behind the scenes who contribute loads of stuff to the band,,it is more than just the four of us on stage. In this case a friend called Rob Powell designed the concept and directed the video to his own weird imagination! He has done all our vids and is a very talented chap!
Imagine that someone ask you, one day, to do the exact same thing during a long journey, what would be your reaction?
Foookin do one!
In the video clip of "You Look Much Better In The Dark", you have to run under the rain because you're late to a photoshoot. Was it the other's idea to tell you that you have to stop being late? :)
No, I am renowned for my punctuality!
You're from Leicester, well known for the Walkers chips, Joseph Merrick, the National Space Center amongst others but above all by the band Kasabian who have now a huge influence in the British rock music. Do you think that your city could become the new "english capital of music"?
ha ha,,,I doubt it! Lets wait and see! There's a few good bands around these parts, it only takes a couple for the domino effect!
Strange question: If Prince William and Kate Middleton ask you to play to their wedding, will you go?
If there's a free bar then I reckon I would.
Is there an artist with who you would love to do a duet?
Justin Bieber
What's your ideal gig?
Coachella as the sun's going down! That be nice!
Personally always prefer buying the cd or vinyl of an artist but now a lot of artists released their songs only on digital copy. What's your opinion about that market?
I agree that it is much better to have a physical release,,the aesthetic of vinyl and CD's adds to the whole experience,,,downloading an MP3 is not for me but you gotta move with the times and record labels have been ripping people and bands off for decades so it is good that more bands have the potential to get there music out there,,although you will always need the might of the major labels for anybody to know about it.
If you can make a cover, what song would you choose?
We occasionally encore our sets with Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones,people love it and we reckon we do it justice! yeehaa
Tom, could you sing in an other language?
Oui, je suis polyglotte et mènent souvent des répétitions dans une multitude de dialectes!
You seems very close to "the Harley Staples Cancer Trust", is there another charity that is very close to your heart?
We knew Harley very well so we love to support that charity! That one is the one we will always focus on!
Do you have a personal dream?
A cameo in Hollyoaks is all of ours big dream or a duet with Justin Bieber.
What was the 1st ever record (cd or vinyl) have you bought?
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses,,,cos im so cool clearly!
Is there in your ipod a song you could be ashamed to have?
yes,Girls Aloud album,,although to be frank you cant fault the choooons!
Are you addicted to one song/album?
Currently The National album High Violet,,,tis soooooper!
What was the first ever gig you went to?
Mainstream gig - Manic Street Preachers,,,me and Tom went when we were about 12!
If you could be another one of the band for one day or one week, which one will you (each of you) be and what will you do?
The Doors and I would sing I reckon!
Do you have a message for your fans/supporters?
We love all of em in their own special way,,and watch out for our debut album coming in the summer! Its a foookin belter!
