Formed in 2004 by Marco Pirroni (Siouxsie & The Banshees/Adam & The Ants/Sinead O'Connor) and Chris Constantinou (Adam Ant/Jackie Onassid/Iggy Pop), The Wolfmen release their debut album 'Modernity Killed Every Night' on 1 Sep. This follows a series of highly popular, but very limited 7" releases. We spoke to Chris Constantinou about being a flute-playing ex-skinhead.
Q1 How did you start out making music?
I started off in school in Plymouth. I was bored with being a skinhead and hanging around with morons. Started off on flute, then singing, then guitar, and finally bass guitar. My first proper gigging band was with Diz Watson, New Orleans piano player.
Q2 What inspired your latest single/album?
It's just what we do...
Q3 What process do you go through in creating a track?
Me and Marco write the song, then we demo it, then we get together with the band and Steve Musters and record it.
Q4 Which artists influence your work?
T.Rex, Hendrix, The Who, Captain Beefheart, Jonathan Richman And The Roadrunners, The Only Ones
Q5 What would you say to someone experiencing your music for the first time?
You'll love it! And if you don't then you lack taste!
Q6 What are your ambitions for your latest single/album, and for the future?
We are already getting some great airplay in the USA thanks to Sat Bisla and his team, and we want to get the album out in the USA, Asia and the rest of Europe now. For the future a great second album and play some decent gigs in the USA and the rest of the world.
