Stereo Addiction MTV Insomnia Interview



[Presenter] Stereo Addiction are gearing up to do some damage here at the MTV Insomnia party at Zambujeira do Mar, right? [Gustavo] That's right, we promise not to let anyone fall asleep [Presenter] Right on! Do you usually play a lot of gigs here in the Alentejo? [John-E] Yeah, the Sudoeste Festival, Clube da Praia, a couple of places [Presenter] Are the crowds very different here in the Alentejo? [John-E] A lot of people come from Lisbon actually… …and the local crowds pick up on that. [Gustavo] We also get a lot of foreigners here. [Presenter] Tell me something, your video for the track "Human"… …is in rotation on MTV… …i want you to tell me all about the making of the video… …what it was like to shoot… …and if there is a new video planned for the future… [Gustavo] Definitely. First of all let's talk about the next video… …there has to be a new one, without a doubt. We have to!… …and regarding the video for "Human"… …a friend of ours, the designer, Lu?s Alegre, had the idea for the script… …we produced the track and shot the video in one day… …we put out the word to our fans through the internet so that they could participate… …we got 40 couples and shot everything in one day… [Presenter] At the beginning of the interview you said no one would be sleeping today… …you guys have a job that only lets you go to bed when the sun is rising… …what do you do to tackle insomnia? or not (laughter) [John-E] I watch old Shaolin movies. [Presenter] And that puts you to sleep? [John-E] Right away. It's either that, or a couple of other things… …some snuggling usually does the trick… [Gustavo] And music! [Presenter] MTV! [Gustavo] Yeah, we watch MTV too. [Presenter] So you can watch your video. [Gustavo] Ofcourse! [Party goer] Hey how are you doing? [Presenter] That was unexpected… [Gustavo] See what i was saying? Loads of foreigners turn up to our gigs here [Presenter] Tell me something. You've seen the crowd here tonight… …How do you plan on captivating them? [Gustavo] They're already being treated to a great set by the girls, Heartbreakerz… …so they're already pumped up… …we're going to pick up where they leave off and the crowd seem like they're down for a party… [John-E] I think we have to inject a bit of soul into the music… …which is almost universal… …I don't think anyone can resist a bit of groove and soul in the music… …we'll start with something smoother… …and then we'll see if we can play heavier or not, like always… [Presenter] So there will be no stopping or sleeping tonight. [Gustavo] Exactly! [John-E] Well the party finishes at 4 but i hope no one goes to bed… …there's swimming pools, lakes, ducks, cows, horses etc. [Presenter] Private parties! [John-E] Yeah, it's in room 2001! Club 2001! [Gustavo] 2001! You wanna go to the private party, it's in room 2001. [Presenter] Thanks for your time guys.
