Republica

The techno/punk/dance/rock supergroup answer our pre-millenial questionnaire.

Republica The Millenium: end of the world or dawn of a new age?

We're not too sure yet, I think either could happen, without a major revolution I can't see the new age coming, if Nostradamus was right we'll all be fighting the yellow army, take your pick.

What song will you be listening to on December 31st, 1999?

One of ours hopefully, if not "1999" by The Artist will do if I have to be topical.

And (assuming we're all still here) on January 1st, 2000?

"Nostradamus was wrong" by Republica

How would Republica change the world for the better?

Now that's a tall order, we could list the old standards, world peace, nuclear disarmament, no pollution etc. but we're of the opinion that its arrogant to think that pop music can change the world in the slightest of ways, if they ever existed those days are gone. We'd just like to think that we pushed the envelope a little further.

What do you think the next big musical movement will be, and what will it be called?

Novelty Rock (Thanks to Denim for that one), all those horrible Lieutenant Pidgeon & "Birdy Song" records will be covered by currently major artists.

If one of you became the sixth Spice Girl, what would your nickname be?

Mace

Are the aliens already here?

Yes, we've got one playing keyboards! I've got a feeling one of our roadies doesn't come from this planet either.

Are they Republica fans?

Fans, they're in the sodding band! Of course they are, we don't claim to be Bill & Ted but there's something in there for everyone.

Who are Republica fans?

Melissa Hart (Sabrina the teenage witch!), and believe it or not the Spice Girls who have just asked for our autographs (we're sitting around waiting for Top of the Pops to start filming and they've just asked us!) After that we really do have quite a cross section, I get emails from 8 year olds who like "Ready To Go" to 45 year old parents whose kids have blasted them with the album when they've been on their way to school.
And Iggy Pop.

Thank you for your time and effort in completing this questionnaire. Finally, if you had to sum up Republica in 3 words, what would they be?

In the words of one Karl Underworld : LAGER, LAGER, LAGER
