J. & Bones ( + Manager) Vanity Beach
\nBy: Nina Mende & Sabine van Gameren <\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

While Vanity Beach had to play at Trashfest we took our chance to ask the band some questions.
\n<\/p>\n

How did the band get started? How did all the band members meet? <\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cWe started out back in 2002. We were friends, we went to the same school and had a lot of the same likes in music.\u201d
\nBones \u201cExcept from the drummer, he came in later.\u201d<\/p>\n

What does the band name mean for you?
\nwhy did you choose it? <\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cWe choose the name Vanity Beach, because it is a cool name. There is not a long story behind that. ”<\/p>\n

How would you describe your band for potential fans?<\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cWe play heavy metal music with synthesizers included. \u201c<\/p>\n

What makes Vanity Beach unique? <\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cI don\u2019t know if there is anything that makes us unique. That is for you to say.\u201d
\nBones \u201cOur music. The music that we make.\u201d<\/p>\n

If we want to know more about what kind of persons you are\u2026 we want to know your personality. If you would be and animal. What would you be? What animal describes your personality?<\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cA really intelligent one. A dolphin\u2026 with a lion\u2019s head.\u201d
\nBones \u201cTough one! I would probably be a whale. A blue whale! Because they are really big and no one can mess with a whale. Or maybe an elephant, you can just stamp on everyone. That would be good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where do you get inspiration from when writing songs? <\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cThe inspiration of our songs is found in the every day life, everything that is going on. People around us, our love life, our non-existing love life.\u201d
\nBones \u201cThe whole album is going to be about the life around us. And our lives, how we see it. Unfortunately, it has not been really pretty.\u201d<\/p>\n

How was your first gig? <\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cOur first gig went quite well. Our third gig was a disaster! That was at the Tuska festival. It was chaos, nothing worked and our guitarist did not show up. All that kind of stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

What did you think of the gig of today? (19-04-2008: Trashfest)<\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cThe gig of today was a mess. Some songs were alright and some songs were a mess, because we are in studio.<\/p>\n

If you could include a female vocalist for maybe one song… or maybe in the band, who would that be?<\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cWe had Chibi from The Birthday Massacre on the song \u2018The Knight Murderers\u2019 that was really cool. But maybe\u2026 Tori Amos\u201d<\/p>\n

Did you ever have any doubts about continuing playing music in the way you are doing now?<\/strong>
\nBones \u201cNo, stopping is not an option. I have been trying to do other things, but I just can\u2019t stop.\u201d
\nJ. \u201cWe like what we are doing and we going to keep on doing what we are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you have some funny backstage stories to share with us? <\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cWell, tonight has been a huge mess. People working for this festival, our photographer doesn\u2019t get backstage. So that is a huge problem\u2026 and *acts sad* everyone is blaming me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahhhh\u2026 <\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cYeah\u2026 well it happens\u2026 It\u2019s all my fault. That\u2019s my answer to all of this now. It\u2019s my fault!\u201d
\nBones \u201cThere are so many funny backstage stories. Come join us backstage and you\u2019ll see.
\n*points to a guy who joins our conversation* This is our manager. You tell them a funny backstage story!\u201d
\nManager \u201cWe went to St. Petersburg, Russia. I came a day too late. We were drinking here in Helsinki. Then, the train left at six in the morning. I get to St. Petersburg and I slept the whole evening, the whole gig. I had a near death experience.\u201d
\nBones \u201cThe big Russian bear wouldn\u2019t let him not drink vodka, so he passed out before the show. \u201c
\nManager \u201cI was a bad ass and I realised that all the time\u2026 That I was a bad ass.\u201d
\nBones \u201cThat is our tour manager\u201d
\nManager \u201cI am the Vanity Beach tour manager, thank you very much!\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you have any upcoming plans for touring? Maybe international?<\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cWe are going to England\u2026 and Norway, Italy in August or September. And maybe something in France. \u201c<\/p>\n

Where would you like to see your band in the future? Any dreams?<\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cBecome as big as possible. And do something like Metallica. But, we keep on doing what we are doing and if people like it\u2026 that\u2019s cool \u201c<\/p>\n

So, do you see yourself playing stadiongigs, like Metallica does?<\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cWe would do it! If we got offered, we would do it!\u201d<\/p>\n

When thinking of the future, is there anyone you want to collaborate with? Any band you would love to tour with? <\/strong>
\nJ. \u201dI don\u2019t know. It\u2019s always the question. It is hard to talk about people you don\u2019t know. You never know if the chemistry works. But Peter Murphey or The Cure\u2026 or Meatloaf. That would be awesome. We are into a lot of different music. We love good music.\u201d<\/p>\n

How would you define \u201csuccess\u201d? What does it mean to you? <\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cDo what you want to do and actually get some profit from doing it. A lot of bands never reach the level of success.\u201d<\/p>\n

What effect do you think that new media like Internet, Myspace and Forums have? How much influence? <\/strong>
\nJ. “Internet has done a lot for us, so we are thankful for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

What’s your favorite coversong and which song shouldn’t be covered at all? <\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cThe Cure \u2013 A Night Like This. We are going to do it on some acoustic shows soon.\u201d
\nBones \u201cThere are a lot of songs that should not be covered at all.<\/p>\n

Would you give away your music\/faces or names for commercial stuff? What would be your favourite? <\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cYes we actually just did. It is confidentional.\u201d<\/p>\n

Are you trying to reach people with the lyrics or is it more a therapy for yourself? Or is it something completely different? <\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cWe try to reach people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where would you love to see yourself in 5\/10 years? <\/strong>
\nJ. \u201cOn my own Caribbean island somewhere.\u201d
\nBones \u201cWe\u2019ll tell you when we own our own Caribbean island and sit on the beach drinking a margarita.\u201d<\/p>\n
