Joe Newman (Alt-J)

Das 2 Minuten Interview

 

Joe Jerome Newman stand gerade auf Platz 1 der UK Charts. Joe ist nämlich Sänger und Gitarrist einer Band Namens Delta, äh sorry, Alt-J (!) meinten wir natürlich. Die kurze Irritation sei entschuldigt, der Bandname leitet sich nämlich vom britischen Tastaturkürzel für selbigen griechischen Buchstaben ab. Der wiederum hat die Formn eines Dreiecks, was die Band… ach was erzählen wir. Viel spannender war es zu erfahren, das Joe nackt schläft, den perfekten Witz auf Lager hat und am liebsten noch einmal als Frau verkleidet, ‚Stand by Me‘ singend mit seiner verstorbenen Katze Kaffee trinken möchte. Wenn es nach uns ginge…This is all yours!
