PIMP:
Could you tell us a little about the origins of
your name. We were wondering if perhaps it had
any deeper significance beyond simply sounding
nice and looking good.
Revl9n:
No, let’s say it’s very simple. Just
sounding nice.
For
the uninitiated, how would you guys describe your
music; what can people expect?
I
think you can expect the unexpected. We don’t
always know ourselves what it’s gonna sound
like.
We
were saddened to hear about Asa's departure from
the group recently. How much impact has this had
on you as a band?
Åsa
has been of great importance to Revl9n. She was
fronting half of our songs, so of course that
changes very much. We miss her. But life goes
on and Revl9n as a duo are now working on some
new good songs and the band is developing a lot,
perhaps in a new direction.
Do
you think this may affect your live shows or do
you have a stand-in lined up?
We
don’t have a stand-in. Revl9n is me and
Nandor. We’ve just been on a UK tour with
this new setup and it worked really well. Maybe
in the future we’ll have more live musicians,
maybe a drummer. But we don’t know yet.
Interestingly
you all claim if you weren't in a band you would
be involved in filmmaking. How much imput do you
have when it comes to your videos?
Åsa
directed a Revl9n video and I have directed one
as well. But when we choose to work with someone
else as the director, we have to trust that person’s
ideas.
You
are somewhat figure heads for Sweden's musical
renaissance in the UK at present. How does it
feel to be so welcomed by UK audiences?
Are we figure heads? I didn’t know, but
that’s good. We really like playing live
in the UK and we’re looking forward to coming
back, hopefully in February.
