LUCIFER
What inspired the name of the band? What are your influences?
The name of the band is inspired by Lucifer! It is an evil name! 🙂 Lucifer Sam by Pink Floyd has been an inspiration for sure…but also our names start all with M….and we originally were a four piece…and…uhmmm…a lot of other things and alcohol maybe!…:-)
Regarding influences, all is an influence…all we listened so far..and more all we would love to listen!…yeah…we all love some R&B or some songwriters like Bowie or italian music like Pino Daniele and Jazz…all is important problably someway, but it is something going under skin…we just play what we like…others could tell better what we are influenced from…maybe…
How do you approach songwriting? Are there any themes that you are keen to explore when you start off?
It is a real stream of consciousnesses, we start jamming, then we reach a point where we need some order y’know….then we cut paste, edit, mix or remake, replay..etc… when we all love what we did then we know the song is done

ENJOYMENT
Why do you write the sort of music that you do?
Why?!…because we enjoy! simply, no other reason.
How do you decide what songs to perform live and how do you transpose them into that live setting?
We have got a sort of songs list based on 2 eps we released so far…(DUE, the last one, is out just now) then we enjoy play some new stuff…songs that are not finished yet…y’know sometimes playing in front of an audience is useful to understand better what is good and what is not….on stage there is a different perception..and also people sometimes help a bit ;-)…we just feel free to keep the flowing of the gig…and this help in itself.
We play also some covers….there is one by Frank Ocean we often do…but we are going to add more things in the live set, we are preparing a shoe for next spring and summer.
