Upcoming Sift Interview: Pomplamoose



We're launching a series of interviews with artists and video creators who are known favorites to Sifters.

I'm really happy to announce that our first interview will be with Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn from the musical duo Pomplamoose.

If you have any questions that you would like me to ask Nataly or Jack- please post them here - and while you're at it grab their album on iTunes. I picked it up a few days ago and am liking it very much. Pomplamoose - Pomplamoose VideoSongs

Also, we're looking for ideas for other people to interview - doesn't have to be music related. I've asked the "The Website is Down" people- I'd love to hear how they put their stuff together.

Update: The interview is up here!

I'd like to know what music inspires them. Knowing this really helps shape the listener in hearing their music.

And if Nataly is aware that it's her eyes that totally makes the videos they do (aside from the amazing editing)!

For all of you who reside in the Bay Area, Pomplamoose will be playing at the Brainwash Cafe (1122 Folsom Street) in San Francisco on Nov. 13th. All ages, and it's FREE!

The lineup:
8pm Greek National Road
9pm Danielle Ate the Sandwich
10pm Pomplamoose

I'm trying to get one of my friends to go with. Fingers crossed.

This will be great! Thanks for taking the initiative on this, dag. I have a couple of questions as well:

1. What's their musical background, and where did they learn to play their instruments and sing? Do they come from musical families?

2. Is all that equipment theirs, and if so, how did they afford it? It looks pretty expensive. Did they buy most of it in one bunch or gather it up slowly over the years?

3. Their music is a lovely blend of many genres, but a major part of it seems to be rooted in *jazz. Which jazz artist has been most influential on their music?

4. Do they play any wind instruments? Or any other instruments that we haven't yet seen in a video? (Disregard the first part of this question if they actually do play a wind instrument in a video I haven't seen yet.)

5. How do they distribute their music? What are their thoughts on the future of music distribution?


I will appreciate it greatly if a couple of these questions could be worked into the interview.

Hip and talented-I share their enthusiasm for mixed-media performance, i.e. varied repertoire of covers n' assorted instrumentation-always made music like this m'sself-Loved their version of Fav-Things-Cool as hell Dag-

Sorry to go all People magazine here, but I would like to know how they met, if they are just musical buddies or they are also a couple, if they have any pets they could have sing in any of their videos, have they ever been abducted by aliens... All that personal stuff.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

We're doing it this Wednesday - over Skype. I'd love to do it in person, but alas. The only local web-celeb I might have a shot at interviewing is Yahtzee, who is a Brisbanite. ;-)

>> ^eric3579:
When will you be conducting the interview, and how will it be done?

paul4dirt says...

- whats the favorite of the covers you've done so far?
- how are the live performances going so far? and how do you do it (just the two of you or with a band) & do you think you will do shows in europe some time?
- for jack: how to you groom your beard?
