Rumble Strips Interview - "Can Moles Hear Soil?"
No, it's not a random picture of some mates in a pub garden. This, dear readers, is the Rumble Strips, purveyors of top quality brassed-up beatpop. Well, to be strictly accurate, the blokes are the Rumble Strips, and the lady in their midst with the arrows is Emily Wood, ChartBlog's newest roaming reporter.
The picture was taken after Emily's second attempt at interviewing the band, and that is why everyone looks so (*cough*) happy, (*coughcough*) relaxed, and in Emily's case, relieved. Now, don't think for a second that Emily did a bad job the first time, or that the band were grumpy divas or anything. No, the only problem with the first interview was that it took place immediately after a Rumble Strips concert, and the band were so exciteable and drunk happy that the blazing brilliance of their quotes started to look a bit more like wasted nonsense in the cold light of day.
But Emily Wood is nothing if she is not tenacious (we actually call her Tenacious E), and so, the day after interview one staggered to its messy end, she arranged interview two. And this, my friends, is where THE MAGIC happened...
What I Expected: A lot of moaning about sore heads...some intense debate about the nature of old music vs new music...the audible sound of one of the band falling asleep as the previous night catches up with him...
What I Did Not Expect: How tough it is to be a disabled mole...enormous pianos......
