SIMPLY SIX: The Shivering Hills

The Shivering Hills are a band from Wales. At the moment they're working on recording songs.

1. For many artists, they cite a defining moment for themselves when they knew they wanted to be a singer. For many it was the appearance of Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, to another generation it was the Beatles’ appearance on Sullivan half a decade later. Is there such a defining moment for you?

Seeing MTV for the first time as a kid blew my socks off!

2. When you’re not creating music what are you listening to? Who are some of your favorites?

Queens of the Stone Age, Red Hot Chillipeppers, Faith no More

3. What would you say is your greatest moment so far as an artist, either on record or live?

It has to be the first time we blasting out our favourite track 'Give a Little Bit' to a load of stomping fans.

4. Do you believe music can change the world or is just something to listen to? How much can music influence current events?

Music can deffinately change the world. In our eyes, music changes people and people are the world. When an innovation of music comes along, the inspired people feel different thus have an adverse effect on the world it's self.

5. How has technology affected the music industry? How has technology affected your career as a musician?

Enormous effect on the industry. I believe it has great potential in the near future but it hasn't been really figure out yet. Established acts have advantage of the system since they have a huge fan base that they can reach online without record labels and such but for newer acts it's very hard to get recognition. We're going thru some serious transition which is pretty difficult at the moment. Only the strongest and the best acts will survive.

6. Now for my Barbara Walters question: If you were a pair of shoes what type of shoes would you be?

Purple Adidas Super Stars (shell toe) with yellow stripes and big fat white laces.
