Interview with
Mat Devine
Kill Hannah

Who has been the best band you have played with?
Janes Addiction in Dallas last winter

Are you hoping to tour over here in the UK? And were would you most like to visit?
A UK tour has been a dream of mine literally since high school. I used to be a major anglophile.. -when i was 16 i wrote songs about the Queen and the rain in London and shit. Sadly we were offered a slot on the HIM tour this October, but werent able to get the funds from the label.

How is it seeing people with sniper hearts tattood on them? Also, who designed it?
The logo was my design, and I'm flattered to see it rendered in ink on skin. it can look sexy, especially when it's done well. i still dont know what to think of the trend of scarification though.. we've been seeing that more often on tour now. I hate to think that some of our fans are suffering so much.

If you could make up a band, who would you have in it?
Bjiork, Brian Eno, Trent Reznor... i'd sit in the back and do whatever the fuck they say

How old was you when you realised you wanted to be a vocalist?
Is that intentional bad grammar, like Ali G? If so, well done. To answer the question though, i was 16...

What tip would you give a band who are struggling to put together songs?
Every song has an essence. Find it and get to the point. Then imagine that the song is a car. If its a black Mercedes, then youre done. If it's a yellow Honda, then try again.

When Kill Hannah first started out, did you expect to release an album and touring?
I had preposterous expectations. I was thinking arena-level shit when i was still in my parents basement.
