Julian Velard chats to ilikemusic
ILM: You have recently played a number of UK live dates. How have they been?
Julian: Great! UK audiences are all about the music. In the States, people want you to be their friend on stage. Here people make up their mind whether they like you during the first song. And if you wander too much with yer banter, they tell you to shut up and play. Sets are short and sweet. Give em the hits!
ILM: Can you describe the Julian Velard process of writing and recording such good music?
Julian: I sit down with the best milk and cereal money can buy, eat the whole box, then put my thumb in the air and see which way the wind blows. It's not quite as glamorous, but that's pretty much the writing process. Completely random from one moment to the next, looking for an opening. Recording is hell. 5 minutes of fun, then 2 hours trying to make it work. Going in the studio is deep psychological diving and I look to do it as seldom as possible.
