The Trash Society 

Interview with Andy Bell

WHAT YOU CAN CLUBBERS EXPECT FROM YOUR CLUBNIGHT?
I think it will be a very laid back chilled out atmosphere with lots of cool lovely people & classic electronic music.

WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST MUSICAL MEMORY?
Probably getting chills from listening to my Mum's vinyl copy of Phil Spector's Greatest Hits record & thinking what an amazing emotive sound the Ronettes made.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CLUBBING EXPERIENCE?
My very first club was a gay night at the Embassy club on a Sunday in London & just feeling very intimidated by how good looking all the men were & thinking that none of them would ever fancy me. Also seeing Boy George & Marilyn at Heaven & I was basically in awe of them.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST EVER GIG YOU WENT TO?
The first gig I ever went to was Joe Jackson at the Wirrina in Peterborough, the second was Siouxsie & the Banshees & she did the whole gig in a wheelchair 'cause she'd broken her leg, the third was Japan at De Montfort Hall in Loughborough.

WHO WOULD BE IN YOUR FANTASY BAND?
Frida, Lady Ga Ga, Madonna, Annie Lennox & Donna Summer & Giorgio Moroder

GO BACK IN TIME WHAT MUSICAL FIGURE WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET?
Klaus Nomi & Mario Lanza & Yma Sumac.

WHAT ARE YOU TOP FIVE TRACKS OF ALL TIME?
Fade to Grey....Visage, Wow..... Kate Bush, Bird Song..... Lene Lovich, I'm Always ( Touched By your Presence Dear ).... Blondie & Summer Night City..... Abba

WHICH NEW ARTISTS ARE MAKING THE RIGHT NOISES OUT THERE?
Beyonce, Rhianna, Lady Ga Ga, Miss Kittin, Ladytron & Robyn ( not all that new i know ), call me old fashioned.

WHY SHOULD PEOPLE COME TO YOUR CLUBNIGHT?
Because it wont be like homogenised gay crap!
