1. We just got back from New york where we saw you play at the Bowery Ballroom. We had a great time, how was it for you? You seemed to go down well with the N.Y crowd, do you get a response like that all over the U.S?
YES!
2. Is touring a lot different now that you're not with Creation. Have you had to scale things down at all?
YES!
3. Will you be doing a full scale U.K tour with MWNG?
NO!
4. I hear MWNG reached No.11 in the U.K charts. That's pretty impressive for an album with minimal promotion. Did it just sell itself?
JEDAI MIND TRICKS
5. Heat magazine gave MWNG 1 / 5 stars. Do you think that if it had been sung in English it would have got a higher rating?
HEAT=TURD
6. Does Rhys Ifans keep in touch now that he's a big film star?
YES
7. You must have played all over the globe. Where's the best place in the world to play?
EIRE,JAPAN,WHALES...SO FAR...
8. Your promo videos are always entertaining, will you be releasing a video compilation?
NO!
9. Are you happy with your level of popularity? It seems ideal , as when a good band like Travis become huge a lot of the original fans stop listening to them?
HAPPINESS IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE!
10. Is breaking away from Creation something you were considering anyway?
NOT IN PARTICULAR
11. Was being on Creation like being in a community of bands, did you see a lot of Oasis, Primal Scream or the other bands on the label?
YES!
12. (1)Did you ever really feel like part of a Welsh scene with
Catatonia, Stereophonics et al? (2)The press made it sound as though you were in
and
out of each others houses for tea all the time, as though Wales were a small
village.
1:NO, 2.:YES IT IS A SMALL VILLAGE AND WE GET ON FINE WITH OTHER MUSICIANS
13. Would S.F.A ever be seen hanging out in the Met Bar? [Met Bar= manky celeb bar in London]
HAS NOT BEEN KNOWN
14. What bands (if any) are turning you on at the moment?
MC MABON
15. It seems that a lot of the bands that emerged around the same time as you did have either run out of steam or ideas , like Kula Shaker or Cast , or just turned a bit crap as in the case of Oasis. How have S.F.A remained so relevant and fresh? If you'd all become multi millionaires would you be churning out old toss by now?
YES!
16. Please give one piece of advice to the readers of FLASHING HOBO MAGAZINE.
