Interview with Bombs Away, interviewed by Jed Gillham
Playing at Rumaz Night Club on the 17th June
Alright, so you've obviously known eachother for a long time but how did you first meet and when did you both decide that you wanted to form Bombs Away?
haha well we met when our mum brought Tom home and was like, hey, here's your new brother, then Sketch beat him up for about 15 years, We bought Dance eJay when we were like 10 (actually we were meant to buy Dance eJay2 but sketch got the wrong one and we had a fight) as we grew up Thomas went down the hiphp/beatboxing route and Sketch played shitty trance, then they met up again over Breaks and moved to electro from there.
Youve made a few bootlegs and remixes so far, how do you go about choosing which songs your going to do this to?
66 so far actually haha, we just find something we like and play with it, usually its for our sets, then we end up releasing it or someone steals it and puts it online haha
So your biggest songs at the moment would have to be Big Booty Bitches and Swagger, did you ever think when you were making these that they would become so well known?
lol we did BBB in an afternoon and it started going crazy at shows! we ended up re making it and releasing it and it went crazy! Swagger is a bit of a head nod to the stuff we listened to growing up, it was fun to do and we're stoked its gone amazingly, it was never aimed at radio so thats been a huge surprise.
The vocals for Big Booty Bitches are so deep and I'm sure just touch the hearts of anyone who hears them :p how did you come up with such catchy vocals?
haha they were actually written by friends of ours in the states, but they affected us so deeply we had to turn them into that song lol
What's some of the craziest stuff you've done at a show?
we're actually usually the sensible ones, untill we hit the goon, lol then we cant really remember what happened, so i cant answer this question haha
Your playing at Electric playground on the 14th of may, what can we expect from your show?
we actually are working out weather we'll die if we jump off that massive stage! i'm pretty sure we will.
What sort of music is Bombs Away listening to at the moment?
we're listening to so much diverse stuff atm, bass klephs remix of Whine ya waistline is SO FUCKING funky thats getting a workout, and on the other end is spectrum Barretso-Chase rocks it hard,so does Disco Fries - Killer and Oh Snap's new one - Who let the Douchebags in, its pretty funny and rocks hard.
Your song supersoaker is set to blow up once it hits a few more ears, what are your plans for it?
we're releasing that one internationally with a massive push by Universal worldwide, hopefully it'll be one of those songs that you end up sick of cause everyones smashing it haha, the remix pack has some of our idols on board so we're really excited!
What else can we expect from Bombs Away in the rest of 2011?
we're on a huge tour at the moment to launch the WILD NIGHTS 2011 cd which we've just finished mixing, its pretty much hitting every city and most towns so we're basically just traveling and writing new music on the road.
Any final words for the fans and future fans out there?
get drunk & let me see your swagger!
