Partially dressed musicians and a flash slave
I met two immensely desirable men last night; one was the front-man for Wednesday-13, an American glam-rock outfit and the other Jyrki, front-man for Finnish dark-rockers, The 69 Eyes.
Jyrki, well rehearsed in dealing with the press, dutifully answered all the questions my daughter and I put together in the car as we raced across to Antwerp; and despite the message he puts across in his music he’s a stand-up gentleman.
My daughter knows what’s happening in the rock music world; I on the other hand know the opera and the classics. On route to the interview, she briefs me about the artist, telling me what fans want to know (and no Penny-Lane, that does not include where do you buy your underwear!).
Wednesday is luscious and thankfully he hadn’t dressed for stage yet. Well okay, he hadn’t put on all his make-up yet. Clearly he had not been informed of our appointment and was a wise-ass throughout the interview, sidestepping just about every question I put to him. What did not help either was the fact that his whole posse was present and he insisted on wearing his sunglasses. I need to see eyes – you can read a lot from the eyes.
Last year this time I was interviewing
And when I tried to photograph them on stage I couldn’t get my flash to work! In the dark I could not see that some person of vision in my household had switch my Slave button to off, reducing me to using the Canon’s built in flash. Nonetheless, my subjects were delicious and look almost edible.
I wonder if Wednesday would let me drink his bath water.
