DEVIL'S ISLAND featuring Golem Dance Cult
Welcome to this weeks edition of Devil's Island! Every week we maroon a band or artist on the island and see what they get up to, how they cope with being all alone on a small island in the middle of the ocean. It's not your average desert island and we'll see just how each person copes with the extreme conditions.
This week when we arrived at Devil's Island we find Golem Dance Cult sat on the beach. The island is far from their home, so how did they end up here and how did they cope with life on Devil's Island?
Find out now...
Welcome to The Razors'e Edge and our somewhat lovely, warm desert island. Don't worry about it's name I'm sure it's not as bad as that would suggest.
You're marooned here on this island, but before you ended up shipwrecked you chose one album that you couldn't live without. Which album did you each chose and why?
Laur: Manic Street Preachers "Generation Terrorists" because it's one of my favorite albums and because it's long, that' a desert island after all... The irony is that I usually don't like long albums!
Charles: “Exile on main street” by the Rolling Stones as it has almost everything from blues to Rock and Gospel and it is a double album!
Just behind that palm tree is a shack for each of you to stay in, with enough space for you to put up a poster on the wall of one album cover. What album cover do you each chose?
Laur: Poison "Look What The Cat Dragged In" first because it's cool and second because it's so glam that I can pretend I have pretty girls on my wall when I feel too alone! Haha
Charles: “Too Fast for Love” by Motley Crue to be reminded of my sexual drive, ha! Ha!
There's also a bar on this here island. But alas each of you only get to choose one drink for the entirety of your stay. What's your tipple of choice?
Laur: Pontarlier, a French drink a bit like absinthe (but not as strong.) That way I can get drunk and forget that I'm on a desert island! Getting drunk while listening to the Manics with a Poison poster on the wall actually sounds like a good party!
Charles: A good crispy Chardonnay should do the trick, let’s party.
Your suitcases were lost when your ship sank, but you each managed to salvage one item of band merch. What’s the merch and for what band?
Laur: A Lords Of The New Church T-shirt because I've been in love with their dagger/skull logo for so long! Maybe it should be silver print so that people can see it from a plane or helicopter!... And if it blinds them by accident, maybe that would help us not to run out of food!
Charles Why: one of our new Golem Dance Cult t-shirt, we can use it as an Ouija board and try to connect with others…
You’re sat on the island thinking “I’m stuck here on this island with my bandmates for eternity”… who would you rather have been shipwrecked with?
Laur: Natalie Portman so that we can cook and share delicious vegan food! 🙂
Charles: A still alive David Bowie
There's a walkman in your pocket, on the tape inside is the recording of the one live show that stands out for you. It could be any show, from any band, anywhere in the world. What show is on that walkman?
Laur: KISS "Alive I", I know it's not a"real live album" but since I'm not that much into live albums anyway, it will perfectly do the job! Plus it's a bit cheating since that would be two albums for me on the desert island!
Charles: AC/DC “if you want blood" and that will reminds me of my childhood.
You're getting desperate, you decide the only course of action is to put a message in a bottle and hope someone finds it. Your message could be to any member of any band, but should be the most suitable for a rescue attempt. Who is it?
Laur: Well, I don't have many options since we're a duo! It would say "please find us before we have to eat each other and please take that Police song out of my head now!" Haha
You've been stuck here a while and food supplies are running low. There's only one thing for it... which fellow band member gets sacrificed to help the others survive?
Laur: There are still not that many options! Maybe we should have thought about that before choosing to be a duo! We should have been a ska band haha
Charles: good one! Ha! Ha!
Finally, when the ship sank you each managed to save one person from the wreckage. That person is the one musician that has influenced your career the most, shaped your way of thinking and your outlook on life. Who did you save?
Laur: Unfortunately, most of my music heroes are already dead but I would save Iggy Pop! Can I save Alice Cooper too? 🙂
Charles: hargh! Jello Biafra to have some interesting discussion about the state of the World.
