Music Q&A:
Wesley Gonzalez

What informs your music and songwriting?
Depression, love, anger, disappointment, work, emotions, vapourware, Maltesers, fastest shower, negative space, Danny Nellis and Greggs.

How have you evolved as an artist over the years?
I have been working up a sweat wringing my fingers to elongate them for better dexterity and reach for keyboardia! I’ve evolved into quite the musician, not just a band but also an artist, not merely an artist but also a band.

What are you up to at the moment artistically?
Art, mainly. Making another record – it’s at least equal in quality to the last record, maybe even better!

What’s on your rider?
Depression, love, anger, disappointment, work, emotions, vapourware, Maltesers, fastest shower, negative space, Danny Nellis and Greggs.

Tell us your most embarrassing or surreal experience.
I was with Louis from Let’s Wrestle once at a radio station and Robert Plant came and told him he liked his shirt and then when I started talking to Robert plant his radio plugger pulled him away. Later on, I was telling the story and going through what I talked to Robert Plant about. Louis then told me that though we had seen Robert Plant in the radio station I hadn’t talked to him at all and I had imagined it all. Not the most embarrassing thing ever – I’m not usually embarrassed by stuff. I don’t know.

What song do you wish you’d written?
My Boo by Ghost Town DJs or There Must be an Angel Playing With My Heart by Eurythmics

What’s your worst lyric?
Hahahah!
