Johnny Flynn Chats To I Like Music
Also we met a spoon player who was a real character who lives in Seattle near where we are playing. We found him and asked him to play on the album. He played on Cold Bread and Hong Kong Cemetry and that was pretty special. He was the Seattle representative on the album!
ILM: You have played a range of gigs, from Buffalo Bar to Bestival, from the End Of The Road festival to the Royal Albert Hall last year. This year you have supported Laura Marling and are soon to finish your own tour. Are there any highlights, amusing memories or just plain bizarre moments you can share?
Johnny: There is one story. We were in Leeds and we played this gig. We went out to this indie club afterwards and we were in a silly mood, just dancing and mucking around. This guy next to us, who I had noticed out of the corner of my eye, looked as if he had this mal intent. Suddenly, out of the blue, he just attacked Matt the drummer. He went to punch him and I saw it all in slow motion. I dived in to try and hold the guy off Matt. Instead of punching Matt he ended up just punching me repeatedly in the head! I was pumped with adrenalin and I was trying to pin him down. It was all a bit weird, but there was no reason for it. He just went off into the crowd and I had a black eye and was bleeding from my eyebrow. The promoter from the club took me round trying to find him and I was just like, "I don't know if I'll even recognise him." Meanwhile another guy found him outside having a cigarette. So we approached him and just asked him why he hit me and he basically just didn't know himself. Then he broke down and started crying. Then he gave us ten pounds. Then we went out and got completely lashed. We'd been in a fight and were really excited by that…haha…So yeah….It was very peculiar!

Rasmus, Alphabeat: ilikemusic because... It makes me happy and it makes me dance around and sometimes it makes me a bit emotional. It encompasses all the emotions from happiness to sadness and it’s fun to play too.

Chuck, Simple Plan: ilikemusic because... It was always a way to escape whatever problems I was going through; whatever trouble I had, I could just put on a record or a song and feel better right away and I hope that our music can have the same effect on our fans.
