The man is back after a seven-year-break from the music scene. It´s his first Sweden gig in 14 years, exclusive at the grand piano. Yeah – we´re excited.
Martin Rossiter (ex Gene) gigs Gothenburg May 29 at Park Live, Sankt Jörgen Resort. Kentuckyseven got a interview with Mr Rossiter, enjoy!

1. Your old band Gene (1993-2004) sold 2 million records and had 10 UK top-40 singles. How to summarize that time in your life?

”To be honest most of it is a blur, I look back and wonder who the man is who looks like me and sings like me but doesn’t feel like me. If you see him let him know I want a word.”

솔직히 말하자면, 모든 게 흐릿해요. 되돌아 볼때마다 저 나를 닮은, 나처럼 노래하지만 나처럼 느껴지지 않는 남자는 누군가 싶죠. 그 친구 보면 내가 둘이서만 얘기 좀 하고싶어한다고 전해줘요.

그래 나도 꼬부기와 어니부기같아.. 근데 아저씨 정수는 되게 일관됐어여..
볼수록 약간 안쓰러운 면도 있어서 그러려니 싶다 뭐 어때 행복하면 된거지..행쇼..

2. You live in Brighton, how´s the southcoast musicscene right now?

”I’ve never really involved myself in any scene. Scene’s tend not to like me and the feeling is mutual. You’d be better off asking someone young with ‘interesting’ hair.”

씬은 날 별로 좋아하는 것 같지 않고 뭐 나도 그래요. 헤어스타일 특이한 어린애들 얘기나 하는게 낫겠어요.

3. We are really excited by your solo debut, the song Drop Anchor is really beautiful. What can you tell us bout the song?

”If a few people fall in love to it I’ll be happy. It is important as it was the first new song that people have heard and despite sometimes having an ego the size of Gothenburg, I confess to having been a touch nervous that the response would be ‘it’s ok Martin but when are you going to play Fighting Fit’. Thankfully it wasn’t.”

고백하자면 '어 괜찮다 마틴 근데 언제 파이팅핏 불러?' 하는 반응은 야마가 돌.....

예테보리 사이즈의 에고ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

4. You´re on tour for the first time in 7 years. Frightened?

”Absolutely not. Why would I be?”

5. You hit Gothenburg May 29, your first Sweden gig in 14 years. What can the audience expect?

”Songs, songs and songs. Call me a luddite but I still think the song has more power than any other art form.”

6. Could you recommend some new music to our readers?

”There is such a paucity of new talent it’s hard to think of anything but I am very partial to Villagers and the James Blake album is interesting.”

7. Finally, please mention three artists that inspire you?

”Dolly Parton, Billy Bragg and Sophie Pointer.”
