Hej Seether!

När det kommer till sydafrikansk musik kanske inte just rock är det första man tänker på. Snarare Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Mahotella Queens och andra världsmusiker. Men då är man å andra sidan inte så värst insatt. Seether bildades i Johannesburg för över ett årtioende sedan. De har toppat Billboardlistan, vunnit pris som årets artist på MTV African Music Awards och kan skryta med över 2 290 000 fanspå Facebook.Nu är de ute på Europaturné och på söndag kommer de till Brewhouse för en svettig konsert. Vi tog ett snack med trummisen John Humphrey.

Welcome to Gothenburg!

– Thank you. Looking forward to the show.

You've been here before so you might already know this, but if you don't, I feel I must tell you… It's like pitch dark, rainy and cold in Gothenburg right now. How will you handle that?

–Well, the key is to pack as lightly, as possible. While also preparing for any weather conditions. I have stuff to keep me warm so, I should be ok. Otherwise, I'll be sweating when I'm bashing my drums so, that'll keep me warm too.

What can we expect from your gig on Sunday?

– Loud noises, sweating and good music!

You've released six studio albums, and I'm in a really bad mood today, PMS you know. Help me, please! Which one of your records shall I put on on to feel better?

– I would have to say "Holding onto Strings Better Left to Fray". Start with a song like "Tonight" or "Here and Now" and that should brighten anyone's day.

What's up next for Seether? Any good news for your swedish fans?

–This current Euro tour will be our last shows for 2012. And after a much needed break…We'll begin rehearsals and writing process for our next album.

You made the soundtrack for the movie "The Punisher" and that did somewhat contribute to your great sucess. Who would you like to punish right now?

– I get a lot of aggression out on my drums every night so, I would say drums take a lot of punishment!

Once again.. Welcome to Gothenburg! We are looking forward to the gig.

– We are too. Thank you!
