Marmozets play Prague this Wednesday (December 3), supporting Taking Back Sunday. We used this opportunity to chat with them a bit...
How did you decide on this name for a band?
This name we came up with in school when jack and sam were messing about in a class and it just kind of stuck from there.
I'm afraid we dont't know much about life in Bingley. What is it like?
It's just a little town but then its got a great bar called Suburban bar which is where we spend most of our time.
Are you friends with Gallows (who released your music) / how is the relationship between them and you?
I'd like to say we are friends if they will accept us haha, they released our first vinyl through there record label “VENN Records” and that was cool for us cos wed been fans of Gallows since Orchestra of Wolves so it was super cool when they wanted to put out one of our singles.
I just read your member Josh had a surgery, is it okay?
Yeah he’s fine, he couldn’t play for 2 shows after he had the surgery but he was supposed be out for longer than he was but he’s a trooper and powered through it
You recently released jut the debut album. What is your favourite reaction to it?
We're just happy it's finally out and people are digging it, thats what we love and we love the fact people are still discovering us.
What do you like to do when you are not Marmozets?
Me personally sit at home through the day and go to the bolt makers arms in Keighley or Suburban bar bing to see friends, make me seem a little boring but i enjoy that.
Favourite bands or labels - if it can be summed up?
Favourtie label obviously Roadrunner records ha, favourite band though is a tough one for all of us cos we’re into so much different types of music but at the moment its got to be Queens Of The Stone Age.
Best thing about being in a band is…
Touring and just being around your best friends and meeting new people, that's always the best.
