I live in Santa Barbara. My wife's American, and she lived in England for 11 years and then told me she'd had enough.

People are People still gets played to death on '80s stations. It was our first big break in America. It's not exactly my favorite song.

I don't know if it's cool to say this anymore, but I grew up listening to Gary Glitter. A majority of his songs were in that shuffle-blues beat, and I think that's probably why I tend to write like that.

There haven't been many credible electronic covers records.

Once I'd chosen the songs, it seemed like it would just be a question then of recording them. But it's a case of trying to re-invent the songs; taking them in different directions.

I think being in a band is probably the only job when you're actively encouraged to be out of it most of the time.

Music is really all about experimentation and lots of trial and error. It's just mind-numbingly boring until you hit on something that works well.
