Guitarist/singer Jonathan lets loose on who’s going to win the World Cup, batman accessories and that Crunchies and Moros are not all they’re cracked up to be.
Hello Jonathan from Morning Hush! Yo
What are you doing right now and why?! Organising a bunch band stuff. I’ve also picked up a mini flu so I’m trying to look after myself.
Will Myspace ever really die? Myspace is a nonsense. I only use it as a last resort. It’s all over the place really.
What phone do you have? Blackberry Bold and in my studio I have a toy phone that looks a bit like the batphone. Just in case.
You’re releasing the single “Romance” on June 4th in The Village. What was recording like? We recorded in my own little studio so it was great being able to get the exact sounds we wanted without having to keep an eye on the clock. Once everything was tracked it was nice to hand it over to someone else to mix it though.
Crunchie or Moro? Always always Wispa.
Realistically, shouldn’t Mechagodzilla beat Godzilla? In a fight? Probably. In a battle of wits? That’s a whole other story.
Best moment being in this band? Probably what we’re doing at the moment, recording the album and getting ready for the single launch.
Has your life ever been in danger? Not really. Couple of near serious car crashes….
Have you seen anything in the cinema lately? I went to see Manhattan in the IFI recently. They were showing it in their Woody Allen retrospective.
Who’s the best band in Ireland right now? The Minutes.
Fucking magnets, how do they work? Ha ha. That ICP video really shook things up didn’t it? I don’t know to be honest. Let me get back to you.
You’ve successfully invaded and conquered China, what do you call the country now? The opportunity to sell naming rights would be too good to resist so whoever put in the biggest bid. The Republic of Coca Cola maybe. Starbucksland? We’ll see I suppose….
Who’s going to win the World Cup? It’s Spain’s to lose really.
Finally, what are you going to do the second this interview is over? More Lemsip.
Jonathan from Morning Hush, it’s been a pleasure.
If you’re around:
Morning Hush play The Village on Friday 4th of June to release their single “Romance”
