Robert Scott, real pillar of the New Zealand musical scene since the 80's, who played in many indie rock bands such as the Bats, Clean, Electric Blood or the Weeds, accepted to answer to my few little questions for Deep Music !

Q : Firstly, all the 90’s indie bands and the garage rock revival bands from our 2000’s cite The Clean as a big influence. It even seems that almost all the New Zealand’s bands from the 80’s, particularly those in which you played (The Clean, The Bats), were very influential in the world of the music. You must certainly be aware, but what did you think about it ? Did it surprise you ? It surprised you ?

Yes it surprised me that so many bands mention us, I'm not sure what it is, but there is something about our music that seems to connect with alot of people no matter where they are.

Q : And you, who influenced you ? What are your favorites artists and albums ?

Wow too many to mention but a few are Velvet Underground, Suicide, Nic Jones, Buzzcocks, Wire, Neil Young, The Stooges, Fairort Convention, etc.

Q : You played in many bands and you never stopped playing music (moreover, in 2011, you released an album with The Bats and a solo album in 2010), with hindsight, what has been you favorite period or the one that you feel is the most interesting of your music career ?

Probably the start of my career because it was so fresh and new, doing everything for the first time, I still enjoy it now though, otherwise I wouldn't still be doing it, I intend to carry on for a while yet.

Q : Seen from Europe, Flying Nun Records seems to have been during more than 20 years a true little family very prolific where all the musicians play really good music together. And is there some New Zealand bands from a new emerging scene which sit in the continuity of the 80’s Flying Nun records ?

Yes there has been that kind of feeling amongst the bands, some new ones are, Surf Friends, T54, Haunted Love…

Q : It's also not easy to imagine this scene (during the 80's) if we didn't live it, so, how was it ?

It was a very exciting busy time, the bands did alot of the work themselves, making posters, booking the gigs, doing the recording and artwork for the records, alot of driving around the country to play, and making cheap videos to get on TV, there was radio play on student radio, but hardly any on mainstream radio.

Q : Nowadays, you must have a big experience in creating an album, is it a complicated exercice?

No it’s just writing the songs, choosing someone to help record it, finding somewhere to record. There are not alot of studios down here, so often we find a Hall or another space to record in.

Q : Have you ever doubted the music?

No usually I know when I have a good bunch of songs to make a record, and the review are usually pretty good when it comes out.

Q : To conclude this interview, do you steel feel ok to continue making albums and playing gigs?

Oh yes very much, good gigs can be hard to get, but recording is always good fun and rewarding, and we get to see parts of the world which is great.

Enjoy !
