a chance and moved back. She had friends in Norway because
she had lived there before and one of them was Mats. So she had
to go to some photo shoot , so I was stuck with this guy. He was
cleaning his apartment, I had to sit there.
Rockfiend - No choice but to get on.
Mats - Yeah you ended up with me
alone.
Lizzy - I was tired talking, I was like
can you put some music on. I love
this song, never heard anybody else
listen to this, it was "Hardline - Hot
Cherie" something like that.
or a miss, and you sounded really really good.
Mats - Thank you very much.
Lizzy - As long as we are on the same page and everybody wants
the same thing, I think it's gonna work out, yeah that's the way
it works. If somebody is out of sync and
you don't feel the same something is going
to feel off, it's going to look weird. So I'm
lucky to have met these guys.
Rockfiend - Do you have an album record-
ed?
Lizzy - Not a full album no. Our idea
was......it started as a bit of fun and it started
to take off a bit, and we were like let's put
out a single here a single there. We've tried
to make a video for every song. I really
never wanted to make an album, lately we
realized we have to put out an album.
Mats - Yeah it was "Hot Cherie", we
bonded over "Hot Cherie".
Rockfiend - Superb song. Lizzy - So
we started drinking.
Mats - We were slightly drunk as
well.
Rockfiend - There is a fan base out there.
Lizzy - Yeah, so we are talking to a few
labels, been to a few meetings about it but
I'm not sure I want a record deal. It depends
on what they can do for us. These days you
can do a lot on your own. Mats - We can do
so much for ourselves.
Lizzy - And we thought let's start
a band, so we did, and we needed
a guitar player and Kristian came
along.
Kristian - Mats and I had played in
a band previously together, we knew
each other well.
Lizzy - Just before the band got
started we did an acoustic show
together with their old band. Their
singer and me on vocals as well, like
an acoustic gig. It felt so good. So let's try this out, so we started
the band. It seems to be working out still. We haven't killed each
other yet.
Rockfiend - Not yet, is that on the cards?
Mats - No we are best friends and we are having a good time.
Rockfiend - You certainly looked tight last night when you were
playing as a band, you some sounded so so good.
Mats - This guy (Robin) lives in Sweden, and we rehearsed three
times together. The band has clicked together. We don't rehearse
like every other day or two times a week, we meet two days
before.
Lizzy - I wish we could. Mats –
Yeah I wish we could, and then we could be even better.
Rockfiend - Bannermans is a difficult gig, the sound can be a hit
Rockfiend - The money you make for your-
selves, instead of a record company taking
it away.
way.
Lizzy - That's what we have been doing, but
if somebody can step up and help us out of
course we might choose to go down that
Mats - There has to be a real interest from a label, someone
passionate about it, burning for the music as we do because we do
everything ourselves, mainly I do a lot of stuff. I really want to do
it, I love it, and I want the label to be the same as we are.
Lizzy - So far it’s been working out the way we've been doing it,
but an album will be released somehow, some way.
Mats - We have to do it, we have been writing, we wrote two new
songs last night. We get really good reception from the people
hearing it first time live. People like grooving to it; we have so
many good songs.
Kristian - People have been asking for an album on our Facebook
page, constantly asking for one, so we feel you know we have to
give into the demand .
Mats - If we release a single, the day after.....when's the next
single?......when's the next single?,
when's the
album coming?, you
