Annie Accidental comes to you from Scotland, in case you didn't pick up on the charming accent on your own. her songs are filled with beautiful melodies and biting wit. if you don't find the songs working their way into your head and warming your heart, perhaps your listening tastes are strictly heavy metal. to get to know the lass behind the tunes, take a gander at some of her favourite things:
Your biggest musical inspirations (or things that inspire your writing) 'I am consistently inspired by the most menial things, a phrase someone has used, a small realisation. I tend to base whole songs on the incidentals. Songs tend to come to me fully formed in the shower or mid tea-making and at no time when i'm trying. I could never force myself to write a song as it would be a massive pile of twaddle - no change there then I suppose
Top 5 bands from scotland (current or past) that you think people outside of scotland have never heard of.
- King Creosote: Never mind scottish, Kenny Anderson is my favourite singer of all time. He just makes me melt.
- Ballboy: Ballboy have the best lyrics ever, very frank and honest, and not filthy, although I like a bit of that too, talking of which
- Arab Strap: People probably have heard of them loads outside scotland, I dunno. But they are pure FILTH and I facking love them.
- Michael Marra: Michael Marra is a dundee singer songwriter, some call him the tom waits of dundee, although i've never met any of them. If you ever get a chance to see him live, do it, you'll be laughing like a loon on loon tablets one minute and sniffling like a child the next. He might be hard to appreciate outside of scotland, but worth a try, the same actually goes for numbers 2, 3, 4, and me.
- Second Hand Marching Band: this might be me sucking up to my bf and friends but they really are quite spectacular, great to see in a teeny venue even if to just laugh at all 17+ trying to fit on the stage. I think the best way to describe them is 'JOY!'
You can only have one thing for the rest of your life, which do you chose: cigarttes, coffee, wine, beer or ketchup? It makes me really sad that tea isn't on this list. So sad that I might have to go and have a little lie down now.
to get to know lAnnie Accidental even better than our soul barring interview, i highly recommend you seek her out on the net.
