Glockenspiel play The Zoo on Thursday.
What better way to see out the year’s more romantic of dates that an extended musical serenade from Glockenspiel? Before you take the time to think of an option, drag yourself along to the cosy surrounds of The Zoo on Thursday night and allow yourself to be enchanted. Add to the mixture the tasty sounds of Basset Hound and funkaleros Every Man & His Llama as well as the fact that this is the first time in many a month that Glockenspiel have actually done us the goodness of gracing the stage, and you’ll just be swimming in the love, baby. The Glock lads took some time to answer a few questions via email.
What have the band been up to?
“We’ve been studying Bark and it’s effects on shiny surfaces. Records has been sleeping mostly…”
What’s the story with the extended break (no musical pun intended)?
“Tobes has been away, he has been internally investigated by midget aliens that keep monkeys in chains…”
What are people going to see at the gig?
“Basset Hound, Everyman And His Llama and us with a cracking selection of vague gestures and nods. Blumph man will be there too, exposing himself once more.”
Tell us about the new dance moves. Who’s you inspiration?
“Peter Garrett, he taught us that you shouldn’t be embarrassed about dancing with stiff legs, of course that could have been taken the wrong way…”
You’re getting played on Rage. How did it all come about?
“We made a video for Mr Record Player it was produced by Mike Mott and Paul J, they did some awesome classic porn films from the 70’s, in fact they were the first guys to try a sex scene on shagpile carpet; a pretty risqué move back in 72!”
Obviously, the show’s on Valentines Day. What’s the sexiest Valentines gift you’ve ever given or received?
“Hmm… Lisa Simpson once gave me a card that said ‘I choo choo choose you’, what the hell does that mean? Choo choo choose me… What the?”
What’s next?
“I’m going over to Tobes for a game of chess if you want to come…”
