interview in amazeine, august 1998 | ||
it was a really really cold thursday evening, roger and i sat at miami bar (st-laurent) to drink a beer and warm our mind a little. i often say that the only danger for me in going to the miami is if i were to get hit by a car while crossing the street, which would be very unlucky since i live (well... used to at that time) right across the street. | ||
so after getting there safely once again, efrim, dave and thierry, from montreal's own mystic collective band godspeed you black emperor!, joined us around the table. we recorded the conversation. - marie-douce | ||
marie-douce: since you guys all seem different, i'd be curious to know how you met? | marie-douce: так как вы, ребята, кажетесь довольно разными людьми, мне любопытно, как вы все познакомились? | |
efrim: there were three of us at first. we met a friend who is a horn player who isn't playing with us anymore. i'd already played with dave. dave started playing with the three of us and i knew thierry so thierry started playing with us. dave knew our cellist so she started playing. it was like if anyone knew anybody who played an instrument and seemed like an okay person, they would sort of join up. last year around this time, we got up to 15 people or something and that was horrible and so we went back down to nine and have sort of been around nine ever since then. | ||
m: so the idea was really a collective project? | ||
e: no at first it wasn't 'cause it was a smaller group. | ||
m: i mean after when people started to add on? | ||
e: yeah. now it's more of a collective for sure. | ||
r: but it just kind of happened like that, it wasn't something that you planned... | ||
e: no no no. the plan was always to get more people involved and then the band was always changing. that was always something we wanted. lately it has become a lot more solid than it ever was. we used to change line-ups at every show. there would be two or three different people... | ||
dave: playing different instruments... | ||
r: that must be hard for rehearsals? | ||
e: at that point, we were only practising a week before the show. it was always a big nightmare. | ||
r: rehearsing just for the show? |
