Celebrity Interview Since they first burst onto the music scene in 2010, Bastille has become one of Britain’s most instantly recognisable chart-dominating bands. Their hits, like Pompeii and Of The Night, have become global festival anthems, blaring out from stages across the world from Cincinnati to Zurich, from Cape Town to London, From Joburg to Paris. AWSUM News caught up with them on their recent SA tour. Q You have gone from a relatively unknown four-piece band to one of the UK’s and the world’s best-loved indie bands, playing sell-out shows across the globe, at breakneck speed. How did Bastille happen? A It all started with Dan and his songs and his laptop in his bedroom. In about 2010 we started playing in pubs and things started to take off and build and build. Pompei happened, and we ended up being known around the world. Q Who are the Bastille band members?
Q What do you do to relax? What other things do you do? A Woodie: I play football very badly. Will: Woody is kind of the dad of the group. Kyle: Yes! Woody can change a car tyre. I think Dan might be able to, but I certainly can’t. Dan: Well, I would try! Chris: Kyle can drive a forklift truck. Will: Although I can fly a plane. Q You also make the popular Bastille mixtapes. Any more in the pipeline?
A The band consists of lead singer Dan Smith, drummer Chris Wood, guitarist Will Farquarson, and bass-guitarist Kyle Simmons. Q What is the theme of Wild, Wild World?
A We are glad to let fans of our mixtape series, Other People’s Heartache, know that a fourth edition will be released soon. It’s a bunch of very weird covers, a bunch of new tunes, and some surprising collaborations. I can’t tell you what’s on it yet, but it will be out this year, with the new album to follow early next year.
A The loose theme of the album was that the world can seem quite messed up sometimes when you’re watching the news, but that everyone’s got to get up the next day and go to work – and that people, human relationships and friendships, stuff like that, are such nice positive things … there are no worthy intentions with the record or anything; we see each song as quite different. They are all little stories in and of themselves, but that was just a theme that seemed to just keep cropping up, in and amongst of the rest. I don’t know how escapable world events seem sometimes. It’s not meant to be really dramatic and it’s not a political record, it’s not meant to have any one kind of message – we’re just four idiots!
A We would love to simply keep producing music and if we can continue to play live as long as possible, that would be great. We are always thankful to be where we are now, but always looking to further expand and, of course, continue to write more records.
Q Who are your music icons?
A We’re all massive fans of the survival television show Naked And Afraid. We stumbled upon it on the tour bus and became completely obsessed with it.
A That’s such a tough question. The Fugees, The Beatles. Bowie, Prince and Hendrix. Also Bon Iver, James Blake, Kanye, Frank Ocean, Sigur Ros, Christine and the Queens, Rationale. Yeasayer, Vampire Weekend … I could just go on listing artists for ages. It would also be good to have some comedy there as well. Regina Spektor is awesome. She’s an incredible songwriter, and her voice is amazing.
