random notes
2008 07 30, Jan Zehrfeld was kind enough to answer a couple of questions
UniMuta: Panzerballet
will be opening the Zappanale Festival on Saturday, day 2 of the festival. Did
you know about the Zappanale festival before you got invited? Do you like
playing at festivals?
Jan
Zehrfeld / Panzerballet: Yes, we knew about the Zappanale. Martin,
our second guitarist, is a die-hard fan of Zappa and was there in 2003. We love
to play anywhere, though the soundwise most difficult locations are jazz clubs.
Generally, every show with a "jazz audience" (which we are confronted
with most often) divides it into four groups:
a) "Leaving because of being blown away"
b) "Staying though being blown away"
c) "Staying because of being blown away"
But the question is not if we will turn it down. The question is: can the
audience cope with it?
UniMuta:
I listened to some of the samples that are on your website, and I was very
impressed. The samples are much too short
:-)
but I did hear a lot of Zappa and Weather Report in it.
Who is Panzerballet's musically influenced by?
Jan
Zehrfeld / Panzerballet: Meshuggah, Planet X, Tribal Tech,
Mats/Morgan, ... to scratch the surface.
UniMuta:
A number of the
bands that are playing at the Zappanale festival will be playing the music of
Frank Zappa.
Would it be possible for you to play in a band where you would play someone
else's compositions, or do you (as a band) prefer to play your own compositions.
