mauro pawlowski

Mauro Pawlowski was the mastermind behind the Evil Superstars, one of Belgium's best kept musical secrets. He also recorded & performed as Mauro.

 

 

The January 1966 edition of Rif Raf Magazine included an interview that Oliver Willems did with Kiss My Jazz. Here's a fragment:
(from http://www.deadbeattown.com/stuff/kmjrifraf1996.htm)

RifRaf: By who is Kiss My Jazz influenced?

Rudy Trouvé: "Well, there are a lot of band members, so I suppose everyone has his own influences. To me, the No Wave from New York has been quite important. That's not New Wave but a mixture of jazz, punk and funk... Other than that, Pavement, and I'm a heavy fan of Chet Baker too."

RifRaf: Zappa perhaps?

Rudy Trouvé: "Whenever people hear strange crossings and mixtures of a few genres, they tend to hear Zappa in it. Maybe it's because we're influenced by people who were influenced by Zappa. I like Zappa, but I never had any intentions to do something in the same region."

Elko Blijweert: "Mauro aside, I don't think we've got a real Zappa-fan in the band."
