END OF YOU-INTERVIEW WITH JAMI(vocal)
14.02.2006.,HELSINKI,FINLAND
ME(Natali):Hello!Nice to meet you!
JAMI:Hello!
ME:You're pretty fresh name in Croatia,so I would like to ask you,to introduce us END OF YOU in couple of sentences!
JAMI:I think that we are realy melancholic band...and we always try to do great shows with special lightnings...and think that it's all about the mood!That's what we try to do!
Attract people with all that music&atmosphere package!
ME:Why did you choose name END OF YOU for your band?Where does it comes from?
JAMI:Erm..I loved one english sentence which goes like: «Until the very end of you!»
But...I'm not so sure which is the reason that I've took that name for the band...I just loved that sentence...even if that sentence is a little bit too long name for band name,so I've took just «End Of You»!
ME:When did you realised that you wanna have your on band and that you wanna be an artist?
JAMI:I've been playing in some bands...all in all some 15 years now...But I wasn't getting anywhere with those bands...And couple of years ago,I just came with idea that I wanna start to play with my own band...And I have a little home-studio...so I've been playing some music with couple of people which liked it too...so that was the begining of END OF YOU!
ME:Finnish scene has really good and known bands.Some of them are huge abroad...
But you're also doing really great!I've read couple of reviews on your EP-Walking with no one,and they were rated very well...Like 9/10.How it feels to read that reviews and to get such a great feedback for your work?
JAMI:It's good,yeah!I think that the main reason why we did so well,was because there are many bands doing the same kind of thing all over...And we tried to do something more original...Think that that's the main reason why the reviews are so good!
ME:How it is to work with Hilli Hilesma?
JAMI:Really nice!The guy is a real prof!And think that he did it all so good...All that producing stuff...I mean everything,from the begining till the very last thing...
ME:Tell me something about your upcoming album,and what do you expect of that album?
JAMI:I've been really busy last couple of months...And I'm still,as well....So I didn't had so much time to think about release of our debut album...But I hope that we'll get good feedback,and that we'll have an oportunity to do much more gigs...and that it sells good too..!So,that we can do more albums!
ME:I hope the same!What's your inspiration when it comes to writing of lyrics?
JAMI:Sometimes I hear some kind of tune and feeling which I try to put in my songs...
And I try to collect words around that feeling,mood...Sometimes it goes pretty easy,but sometimes it can take almost a half of year...to write lyrics for songs!I think that all my lyrics are a little bit shizofrenic....Like...I don't tell the stories...but I tell things around my stories...So,it's up to you to..to try to figure them out!
ME:So far as I saw you've been playing only in Finland.After you release your debut album,are there any plans for maybe little abroad tour?
JAMI:Well,it's really not up to us!Because we would like to play where-ever,when-ever!
But I really hope that we would get chance to play abroad!
ME:Today is a Valentine's Day!Tell me how would an artistic and emotional soul like yours surprise his girlfriend or loved one?
JAMI:I think that I would buy something little,but nice...I don't know..like flowers...But it has to be surprise,so..I won't tell!
(we laughed on this one)
ME:When it comes to music,which kind of music do you like?Which artists influenced you?
JAMI:Well,my all-time favourite is Tori Amos.I don't know why,but I like her!And of course bands like:Tool,Nine Inch Nails...and ..that moody stuff,but also Sepultura and Pantera!So,it's a big combination!
ME:What's your favourite drink?
JAMI:BEER!
ME:What's your favourite movie?
JAMI:Erm..What's my favourite movie?Well...I don't know...For example I like all Anthony Hopkins stuff!He has really great carisma!
ME:Which country or place you would like to visit?
JAMI:We have a sample called «Rome»,for our up-coming album..so...yeah it would be nice to visit Rome...But,there are really lot of places,which I would like to visit!
ME:If you could be some person for one day(no matter if that's person dead now)who would you like to be and why?
JAMI:UH!!I think singer of Nine Inch Nails.I've just bought their DVD,and show on DVD is really amazing!I don't know....but there's something in the band!So...yeah!Think that I would like to be he,for one day!
