This is the second part of an interview with Club 8. This time it´s Johan Angergård who have been kind enough to answer a few questions. As you probably know he spends most of his time with music in one way or another. The first part of the interview is to be found hereWhat would be the perfect imaginary setting for a Club 8 gig?
An underwater theatre with red plush furniture and panorama windows.
How do you structure the songwriting between your different projects?
Normally I only write songs for one band at the time. I’ve tried doing it differently, but it rarely works that well. Each band is a little world of it’s own and it’s confusing jumping in and out of different worlds. A Legends album starts with an idea of a particular kind of music I want to make. It’s usually something that I lack in my record collection, something I have a strong urge to hear but can’t hear unless I make the music myself. And also, it’s music that neither Club 8 or Acid House Kings would like to make. For example "Up against the Legends" is too noisy for the Kings and to direct and up tempo for Club 8 (i.e. for Karolina). "Facts and figures" is synthpop and neither band would like to do such and album. Some songs could be done with Club 8 as well as Acid House Kings, but it’s quite few. Melancholic, slower music works best with Club 8 and direct more catchy songs fits Acid House Kings better. Very very (very!) simplified The Legends is about sounds I want to explore; Club 8 is about expressing emotions as strongly and open hearted as possible and Acid House Kings is about writing the perfect pop song.
I was dj:ing in Lund when Irene and Laurel Music where playing live. What songs do you think I should have included to make that an perfect evening?
Every DJ set should end with The Smiths "Asleep". But before that The Jesus and Mary Chain "Upside down", Johan Hedberg "Grammisgalan" and Don Lennon "Gay fun" makes a lovely evening.
My favorite:
city: I usually prefer the country-side, but Bandung was beautiful and Barcelona is always fun.
place: Österlen
season: This year it’s autumn. This year’s summer was kind of failure.
colour: Black
weather: Sunshine and snow.
film: Woody Allen in the 70’s and the 80’s and Ingmar Bergman.
Club 8 play London's Luminaire on 10th January 2008. Details and ticket information can be found here.
