Gomez Get Their Guns Out
Gomez webchat.....
So this is your first album for two years...tell me everything that's going through your head right now.
Tom: We're discussing how Marmite flavoured Walkers crisp's actually taste like beef.
I didn't know there was such a thing.
Ben: They've just bought them out, they're a new release from Walkers and they're crap. They've got Branston ones as well. I'm sure they're crap as too.
I can totally see what your saying, but how do you think that ties in with the release of the album?
Ben: In no way whatsoever, it was just what was going through my head. One of them's shit and the other ones good.
I take it you're not talking about the album there?
Tom: Like everything in life, it's the struggle between good and evil: Gomez versus Marmite flavoured Walkers crisps.
Ben: It's such a descent from grace, because Smoky Bacon's a classic isn't it?
How's the reception been?
Ben: We got 'Single of the fortnight' in Smash Hits which is quite an achievement for us!
Tom: Smash Hits think we're great, The Daily Mirror think we're great. Heat magazine think we're great as well, and Woman's Own think we're good too.
Ben: So we are now the Style Magazine band.
Iain: It turns out that we are the most image conscious band ever.
Tom: We appeal to Lifestyle magazines.
Ben: We sit well with the interior design features.
Tom: Its been mostly really positive. The strange thing is that even when people are being positive, they're kind of still not sure, and sort of say even though we know this is a good record we don't know whether we should tell you to go and buy a Gomez record. Which is kind of strange but I think that's because we don't fit in with current climate...but then we've never fitted in with any climate. People's perceptions are kind of irrelevant.
