Tobi (01:47 PM) : Hi, so we are JET LOVE, jet rock n roll (garage) from Schleswig Holstein, I, Tobi "Torpedo" play drums, Chris plays the deep bass, and Hendrik is responsible for saws and screams.
Deckel (01:48 PM) : You are spread all over Schleswig Holstein, you come from Flensburg, the others live elsewhere, how does that work with band rehearsals?
Tobi (01:49 PM) : Well, the other two are from Schleswig, which isn't too far, and rehearsals take place roughly in the middle - in Eggebek near Tarp - so it's not too far for anyone.
Deckel (01:50 PM) : Ah okay, who writes your lyrics?
Tobi (01:50 PM) : Mostly Chris, I occasionally write one, Hendrik tends to hold back on that.
Deckel (01:51 PM) : Are there special situations when you can write particularly good lyrics?
Tobi (01:52 PM) : Well, it usually revolves around pretty girls, rock n roll, and lots and lots of love baby - so it's actually always the right time to write lyrics.
Deckel (01:53 PM) : Ah okay... you have been around since August 2006, how did the band come together?
Tobi (01:55 PM) : Chris had wanted to do something like this for a long time, and he quickly got Hendrik on board. Only a drummer was hard to find until I came from Lower Saxony and saw Chris's ad in the Partout and called right away. The first rehearsal was soon after, and everyone knew that they would write RnR history together - well, actually a pretty lame band origin story.
Deckel (01:55 PM) : ^^, had you played in other projects before?
Tobi (01:57 PM) : Yes, I had a German punk band in Oldenburg, Lower Saxony called ADS, then later I had a rock n roll surf combo in Oldenburg, now it's JET LOVE and on the side another project called CAPTAIN GALAXY.
Deckel (01:59 PM) : So you were called Jet Love from the beginning, and why exactly Jet Love?
Tobi (02:01 PM) : We were called JET LOVE from the start, it was decided quickly: JET (jet rock n roll) LOVE (the meaning of jet rock n roll in our lives) or generally love for music and rock n roll in particular.
Deckel (02:01 PM) : Are there bands that influence your music?
Tobi (02:02 PM) : Guitar Wolf is sort of the "role model" for our musical efforts, but bands like Autotrash, Atomic Suplex, Jet Boys, Mad 3... have - at least for me - had a strong influence.
Deckel (02:04 PM) : I don't know exactly, but have you released a CD or a demo?
Tobi (02:05 PM) : We have a promotional or demo CDR, which you can also order from us for 3 bucks or download, I just don't have the link right now, I'll have to look for it, I'll tell you later in the interview.
Tobi (02:06 PM) : Also, we were able to contribute to a sampler on Katzeplatten.
Deckel (02:06 PM) : Which sampler?
Tobi (02:07 PM) : Katzette 2007 - a cassette sampler DIY project.
Deckel (02:08 PM) : Cool... on the good old cassette, where can I order it and what does it cost?
Tobi (02:09 PM) : I don't even know exactly what it costs, but it can and should be copied further so that the music spreads, you can order it at katzeplatten.de - at least soon, I don't even know if it's already online.
Deckel (02:10 PM) : I'll order it, which bands are also on it that one should keep an eye on?
Tobi (02:11 PM) : I haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but I can recommend PORNOHEFT and I also found THE CURT COBAINS quite nice.
Deckel (02:13 PM) : Oh yeah, here PORNOHEFT from Frankfurt and the CURT COBAINS even come from Flensburg, right?
Tobi (02:14 PM) : PORNOHEFT are from Frankfurt, but I have no idea where the CURT COBAINS are from.
Deckel (02:15 PM) : I mean I saw the CURT COBAINS live in Flensburg at Volxbad some time ago... they are only 16.
Deckel (02:16 PM) : But they make really great music... now back to JET LOVE...
Deckel (02:16 PM) : Have you played many concerts already?
Tobi (02:18 PM) : No, I think we've only played 5 so far, but on 18.08.2007 we will be in Scheggeroth at Enzo's music pub with two other bands.
Deckel (02:18 PM) : I don't know that location at all...
Tobi (02:18 PM) : And then we have a gig in Münster and one in Waldital in Neumünster confirmed for this year.
Tobi (02:19 PM) : It's pretty cool there, I was at a concert there once, it's around the corner from Süderbrarup.
Deckel (02:20 PM) : Oh that area... yeah and Waldital is almost legendary up here, there are always great things... Neumünster in general, borderpaki is also great...
Deckel (02:21 PM) : For everyone who doesn't know bP: http://www.myspace.com/borderpaki
Were you at rd rock?
Tobi (02:22 PM) : No, I was in Lower Saxony, at the Stapelfeld Open Air.
Deckel (02:22 PM) : Was there a lot going on?
Tobi (02:23 PM) : No, just a few hundred people, maybe 400 or so, it's always quite small, but has a cult character - at least for a few, of which I am one.
Deckel (02:23 PM) : Which bands were there?
Tobi (02:25 PM) : There was supposed to be a rockabilly band, but unfortunately the bassist broke his hand, otherwise a band called Beatallica (Beatles songs in Metallica style) and a few local heroes, oh yeah SondAschule - they were also really funny.
Deckel (02:26 PM) : ^^ oh yeah... we already had that in the interview... but I think 400 people is okay, I prefer it when it's more familial, and not as big as Force Attack...
Tobi (02:27 PM) : Yeah, that's true, although Force Attack (which I unfortunately couldn't make it to this year) is actually still within limits. At indoor concerts, it's annoying when they are so big, I definitely prefer 50 people over 5000.
Deckel (02:28 PM) : Yeah... they also had good bands this year... Casualties and Hausvabot... really great...
Deckel (02:29 PM) : I wasn't there myself, but it was supposed to be good...
Tobi (02:29 PM) : I think both are great, Chefdenker and Mad Sin were also there, both very cool.
Deckel (02:30 PM) : Yeah... but also again bands that some people get really upset about and others are really happy... I personally find it very cool, others were totally upset.
Tobi (02:30 PM) : HERE is the download link for our promo disc: http://rapidshare.com/files/47297553/JETLOVE_-_REALLOVE.rar.html
Deckel (02:30 PM) : Ah okay, thanks...
Tobi (02:31 PM) : It's always like that with psychobilly bands too.
Deckel (02:32 PM) : Do you have particularly nice memories of a concert, or is there one you don't want to remember at all? Like a concert where you played drums yourself?
Tobi (02:33 PM) : Well, actually it's always a really great feeling to be on stage, what I particularly love is when someone STRANGE (not out of politeness or pity) comes up to us after the gig and says that they thought it was all really great.
Deckel (02:35 PM) : Yep, exactly, what are your further plans for JET LOVE?
Tobi (02:36 PM) : Play gigs, play gigs, play gigs, probably release a proper record over time, tour, play gigs.
Deckel (02:36 PM) : What should readers and I follow to stay updated about JET LOVE?
Tobi (02:38 PM) : www.myspace.com/lovejet we usually post our gigs there in a timely manner, otherwise anyone who wants can also email me at drumlove@web.de, or Chris at jetlove@gmx.de.
Deckel (02:39 PM) : Alright, thanks Tobi, unfortunately we've reached the end, it was a lot of fun for me... thank you ;-):-)
Tobi (02:40 PM) : Yes, me too, thank you from me as well and hopefully we'll hear from each other again!
