The Noise & the Naive are a brand new "power pop duo" from Newcastle, joining us on 29 September at The Unicorn in Camden. We're really excited about getting to know Anne and Pauline better, so we sent them 10 questions!
1. Who would you most like to cover your songs?
2. Choose: Cat or dog?
3. Choose one of your songs to be played on Strictly Come Dancing. What dance would you like to be performed to it?
4. Choose: Pixies or Breeders?
Anne & Pauline: The Breeders, because of Kelley Deal's outfit in Safari.
Pauline: Hyperbole and a Half, a graphic novel that manages to make depression funny.
6. Bikini Kill or Fugazi?
Anne: Bikini Kill, one of the best band names ever. Also realising with this question that I should listen to Fugazi more!
7. What's the most difficult thing about being in your band?
Anne: to be like Shonen Knife – keep playing music until we're 82!
