So that’s a great mix right there. Egyptian Blue’s songwriting skills are spot on, and together with intriguingly gritty vocals this all makes up for a compelling sound and band. Listen to “High The Hyena” to get an idea: Well, I wanted to find out more and asked the soon-to-be Brighton band, whether they’d be part of our *Offstage* series and luckily, they had the time to answer a couple of questions. Thanks **Tom**, **Andy**, **Luke** and **Leith**! Let’s dive right in: ***What was the last song that got stuck in your head?*** Probably Sex by Bat-Bike. ***Do you have a “go-to song” from your childhood, one you always enjoy hearing again?*** On the road again by Canned Heat without a doubt. ***What was the first album you have ever bought? And on which medium: digital, vinyl, CD or cassette tape?*** I think it was Green by REM. ***Is there a song you’d like to cover?*** Muffin Man by Frank Zappa but none of us are anywhere near skilled enough to achieve it. ***What’s your songwriting process like? What comes first, melody or lyrics?*** Usually just a riff or a bass line and the lyrics come with time. That may change though! ***If you could have any musical instrument in the world, which one would it be and why?*** A harp would be pretty cool. Although I have no idea how to play it! ***Playing live, what has been your favorite venue so far? And why?*** Probably the Lock Tavern in London because the sound in there is so great and it’s such a compact small venue. It brings the best sweat out of us haha. ***What’s the most bizarre thing to happen while you were onstage?*** Not that much bizarre stuff has actually happened on stage. We sometimes split our fingers open? I broke some strings once and decided it wasn’t worth it to play on so I watched the rest of the set from the crowd which was weird but it’s good to get that side of perspective from the shows. ***If you could choose to live in a decade (music, style, etc.) which one would it be?*** Baroque*.* ***Where is the best spot to go to in your hometown? Also, seeing as you guys seem to be a bit spread out, where do you consider to be your hometown?*** In Ipswich I’d say Hippy Hill on a sunny day. I’m not sure really. We’re moving down to Brighton later this year so that will be our new home! Thanks guys!
