Interview with: Sammy\u00a0
\n<\/em><\/small>By: Nina Mende<\/em><\/small>
\n<\/p>\n

How are you? <\/strong>
\nGood. It\u2019s the fourth day, third gig. So far it\u2019s been great. First gigs were great. And yesterday was even better. So far it\u2019s been really nice and I am looking forward to Berlin and Hamburg.<\/p>\n

You played two shows in Germany during this tour so far. Can you already see a difference between Finland and Germany? Is there any? <\/strong>
\nMMhh. Hard to say. It\u2019s just been two gigs. It\u2019s nice that people listen to gigs. Even though I can see that not everybody is very familiar with our songs, there are still many people who can sing along. I can see already that some different songs are getting more reaction here than in Finland. The songs like \u201cGods Rewind\u201d people don\u2019t know that well. It\u2019s been really nice to play songs like \u201c1-800-Out-Of-Nowhere\u201d and even when we play \u201cGrown Like Others\u201d as encore, which is a really old song from the EP people like that as well.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Is a new album in the planning? Evel Knievel Factor has been out for quite a while already. Over a year, right? <\/strong>
\nYeah, actually one and a half years already. Yeah. We are doing it all the time. We are writing songs and we have demos done. Just the recording is not done yet because we are here. But as soon as we are getting back we will do that. We plan on getting it out early next year. But I can say that there\u2019s strong material ready already but we want more.<\/p>\n

What are your plans in the near future?<\/strong>
\nNear future? Well, I answered that already. The album. *smiling* The new album is definitely the first priority. Hopefully the next album we can get out here as well. Now we have a fan base grown here. And it would be great to come back here.<\/p>\n

Did you play at any festivals this summer?<\/strong>
\nNo, we didn\u2019t play many gigs this year because we were recording the demos this year. Just a few gigs we played. We played Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 Rock and so but no big festivals. It was weird this summer\u2026.[we began blabbering off about summer cottages and get off topic a bit]<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What was your dream job as a kid? <\/strong>
\nI\u2019d say rocker. *laughter* I remember when I was really young I wanted to be a pilot. But somehow this is like being a pilot anyway. *laughing*<\/p>\n

Is there anything you would have done different in your life? <\/strong>
\nNope.<\/p>\n

What celebrity would you like to meet? <\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t think about that too much.
\n[I had to explain this question further. My explanation was: Like here in Germany everybody wants to meet Ville Valo or so, who would you want to meet? Maybe Alice Cooper or so?]
\nMe? I met them already. Ok, Alice Cooper would be nice. But most of the stars I had met already.
\n*grinning of both of us*<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How did you get to do the Pepsi Max campaign? [Private Line were on the Pepsi bottles in Finland for a while] <\/strong>
\nOur manager and management company asked us if we want to do that. We said \u2018sure, why not\u2019. We didn\u2019t think too much about it. I think putting the bands there or commercials\u2026 I didn\u2019t see it that way. Today you just do everything you can get. Of course there are projects we wouldn\u2019t like to do\u2026 But yeah, we didn\u2019t really think about that too much. We did the cover in one day and the next day I saw the bottle in the store and thought like \u2018What\u2026?\u2019<\/p>\n

Yeah, I can imagine. Wasn\u2019t that weird to see your faces on the bottles when you go grocery shopping? <\/strong>
\nYeah, that was the weirdest moment maybe of our career.<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s already September and the year is coming to an end. Did you fulfill any of your \u201cNew Year\u2019s Plans\u201d already you made last NYE? Or didn\u2019t you have any? <\/strong>
\nI tried to quit smoking. And I do it sometimes. I quit. *laughter of both*So I keep my own promises.
\n*laughing again*<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your funniest meet and greet or fan story? Or the most impressive one? <\/strong>
\nThere are so many funny stories. I can\u2019t pick one.<\/p>\n

Ok, then the most impressive one? <\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s always impressive when fans come and say how this one song came to his live. Or how a song puts them into a certain mood. They have something related to a song. That\u2019s how I think, that are not our songs but they are everybody\u2019s songs. That\u2019s how it should be then it\u2019s a good way.<\/p>\n

Ok, that\u2019s it. Thank you. <\/strong>
\nYeah, thank you too.<\/p>\n
