THE NOSEBLEEDS - TOBY TOMAN INTERVIEW BY CARL ASHWIN (27.11.2012)

Carl Ashwin of Dorset Music Guide and AIR Radio has recently conducted a vido interview with Toby Toman of Primal Scream fame. The first band Toby was involved with were The Nosebleeds: as a drummer he participated to the recordings of their one and only single "Ain't Bin To No Music School / Fascist Pigs" in 1977; you may remember I dedicated a couple of posts to the band.

During the interview Carl was kind enough to mention Stereo Candies as a source of information and Toby had the chance to properly listen to The Nosebleed' single for the first time in ages, this really made my day!

The complete article and interview are available here, you can also watch the interview here below.

JAY-JAY JOHANSON - FEATURE/INTERVIEW FROM "LES INROCKUPTIBLES" #124, 29.10.1997

"Je suis quelqu'un de profondément mélancolique, tendance dépressif chronique. C'est un sentiment dont je ne retire aucune fierté mais il est là en permanence. Le seul aspect positif à tout ça est qu’il m'aide à composer. Lorsque je suis d'humeur joyeuse, impossible d'écrire une ligne ou une mélodie correctes. Ecrire est pour moi une espèce de thérapie, une façon de pactiser avec mes problèmes: OK, vous me pourrissez la vie, mais donnez-moi au moins de bonnes chansons en échange."

[Jay-Jay Johanson, 1997]

JAY-JAY JOHANSON - FEATURE/INTERVIEW FROM "LES INROCKUPTIBLES" #99, 09.04.1997

"J'écris mieux lorsque je suis triste. La frustation est ce qui m'a fait avancer. Si j'avais grandi dans une grande ville, où la culture est disponible à tous les coins de rue, je n'avrais jamais eu une telle curiosité. Mais a Skara, il fallait créer son propre univers, rien n'arrivait tout cuit: je peignais, jouais de la musique, écrivais des fanzines. Ça m'a endurci."

[Jay-Jay Johanson, 1997]
