LITTLE TRIGGERS<br />
Silly Cigarettes<br />
We mentioned last week that in <strong>Little</strong><br />
<strong>Triggers</strong> we felt that we had found one of<br />
the most exciting new bands around at<br />
the moment, and that just before they<br />
nipped off to China for a series of dates<br />
we would try and get an interview with<br />
them. Luckily for us, Tom their singer had<br />
already packed and could fit us in.<br />
Here is what he had to say about it all,<br />
As you are about to disappear off to<br />
China, can you tell us how that came<br />
about/what is planned?<br />
“Yeah we got that from when we played<br />
at SoundCity last year and a few bands<br />
got picked to go over and play a few<br />
festivals in China, we were all quite<br />
surprised when we got the invite because<br />
there were about 12 people watching us.”<br />
We're loving (new single) 'Silly<br />
Cigarettes' - can you talk us through<br />
the song/how it was written?<br />
“I can't really remember the specifics of<br />
that one, I remember writing the first<br />
verse and chorus sat in the end of my bed<br />
at about four in the morning and my flat<br />
mates telling me to shut up. I think the<br />
rest just came from jamming it about with<br />
the band in praccy.”<br />
It makes a change to see a band<br />
who have the confidence not to<br />
want to spend their time looking<br />
at their shoes/apologising for<br />
being on the stage - how far do<br />
you want to go as a band/what are<br />
your ambitions?<br />
“We were just a bit bored of seeing<br />
basically the same band all the time<br />
playing the same sort of bland shite<br />
with loads of pedals and that, when<br />
you go to see a band you want to see<br />
something a bit exciting, you wanna go<br />
'fucking hell these are good,' which is I<br />
suppose is what we're trying to do.<br />
As far as aspirations go we'd like to tour<br />
Europe and put out albums and all that.<br />
I suppose the end goal is world<br />
domination.”<br />
I spoke to a few people about you<br />
last night, and immediately it was<br />
all about the Las, Cast, Coral -<br />
does that 'Retro Liverpool band'<br />
stereotype piss you off?<br />
“I don't really think we do sound a lot<br />
like those bands, nothing against them<br />
though, I suppose whatever city a<br />
bands from people will have pre<br />
conceived ideas about what they'll be
