King Adora. Like them we did, and like them we still do, even after a break of a whole year (yes, that’s 365days, of not seeing their beautiful faces). Not sure how we have coped, but now they are back, and although possibly not as freshed faced as before, they are perhaps more determined than ever to prove themselves. Especially after having lost their record deal from those nasty, ungrateful people at Superior Quality.

So off we trot, all the way to Leicester to see King Adora, and Little Nikita (our local bitches), getting to the Venue...wait for it...early!! Yes, you really did read that correctly! Our first mistake (fuelled by alcohol) was definitely trying to blag our way into the venue early because it was cold. Unfortunately for us, just as we were about to be let in, (flattery really does get you everywhere!), we had a touch of the old ‘oh my god I can see Robbie’, coupled with not enough of the old Dutch courage inside us, so we then proceeded to tell the doorman that in fact we thought we would prefer to stand outside!! Yes, we really are that pathetic.

Ok so onto the interview. I knew I would get there eventually. After atempting to get thoroughly pissed, we set about getting thoroughly worked up and nervous and stuff, like one does when anticipating interviewing a band they really like. We even started to think it was a stupid idea, and contemplated not bothering to do it because we were too scared, which was not helped by the fact that in previous encounters with Maxi he always seemed to be running away or hiding from us! But, as usual, we found the strength from somewhere, afterall a hOOchy girl has to do what a hOOchy girl has to do...anyway...(n.b. if you are still reading this well done, give yourself a pat on the back!)

Okay, so we find Phil (of Little Nikita fame) who finds Maxi who tells us we can interview him. We follow Phil backstage to their dressing room with the feeling that we are being led to the gas chambers (or is that just me?) Except backstage at The Charlotte is also kinda like being around a friends house - because it’s a bit like a house really, (kind of), with loads of rooms and windows and flights of stairs and a toilet and...you get the point (perhaps!)

So we plonked ourselves down on a couple of chairs, handcuffed Maxi to the radiator so he couldn’t escape and set about attacking him with questions.

Some bands have a bit of a reputation for depraved and disgusting behaviour whilst on tour. So on a scale of ming to king, how minging are King Adora!?
What does minging mean?

Did you watch Big Brother? Jade was always talking about how minging people were that she didn’t like. People that she found disgusting and ugly and such like. It's generally just being a bit smelly and manky.
(In a somewhat still very confused state) No I don’t think we’re ming at all. I think we’re very good actually.

How are you getting on with Little Nikita?
Good, they’re really nice people

Matthew, we read somewhere that you can speak French. Is it true, and if it is say something to us.
Yeah I do, what do you want me to say? (Still in his confused state and after our pathetic attempt of 'Je Adore King Adora', he gabbles away in French for an unusually long time – more than likely insulting us!)

You have a very die-hard, hardcore fan base? Do you find it frightening and do you feel it puts a lot of pressure on you?
It's not frightening, its really good to have so much support. Fans mean so much and it’s good they get so passionately involved in what we do.

But do you ever worry you'll let people down?
In a way but we wouldn't intentionally.

Who has been your main inspiration
Well, maybe stuff by Madonna.

Early Madonna?
Errr...yeah absolutely...and Guns and Roses aswell...

(Guns and Roses? Has he no shame?)
Do you believe in destiny?
Absolutely, everything happens for a reason.

Do you believe in life after love? (As in the song).
The cher song? Oh right. I don’t know. If you really love someone then I guess not no 'cos it can be hard to carry on, but if you didn’t really love them all that much, then yeah you can absolutely live after love.

Do you believe it's not buter?
(looking scarily serious) Yes, it doesn’t taste anything like butter. It’s like margarine isn’t it?!

That was kind of a joke, but thanks!
Is fame important to you?
Well like I said before, the fans are more important that anything. As long as our fans like what we’re doing, fame means nothing. I guess the more famous you are the more fans you have, so in that respect I guess it’s important, but apart from that, it’s not very important to us.

We interviewed hundred reasons and they said they don’t like you. They said it was because they didn't like th short tips you wear and also something about belly button fluff. Have you got any fighting talk for them?
Oh right, they have a good reason for not liking us then!!! I have to be honest I don’t like them. They wont be around for much longer. What they’re doing has been done before. I could give you a hundred reasons why I don’t like Hundred Reasons!!

Who or what annoys you musically?
Hundred reasons!! I don’t know. Nothing really.

What about Pop Idol and Popstars and all that crap?
I never watched it.

Would you rather die rich or happy?
Happy definitley.

Who do you believe should win the title of greatest Britain?
It would have to be someone like Princess Diana, Shakespeare or Darwin. I’d probably decide upon Shakespeare though.

I’d probably say Darwin actually.
That’s fair enough. It’s a choice between the sciences and the arts. There’s too many choices really. It’s hard to pick just one. It’s not David Beckham though.

Wise words.
Would you rather kill a baby or cut off your arms and legs?
Cut off my arms and legs definitely.

But then you couldn't play guitar!
I'd find something else to do.

(he looks horrified - and kinda scared - that we imply killing a baby would be the best thing to do).

When are you going to play Peterborough again? We feel deprived.
You are deprived living in Peterborough, I definitely agree with that. Hopefully in January when our new album comes out. We want to go back to all the places we played before and it's near Norwich isn't it, so i'm sure we can take a detour!

What words of encouragement would you give to aspiring musicians?
Just to get out there, believe in what you do, believe in yourself and don’t get taken in by anything. Trust your instincts.

Okay, this is the Going For A Song round. All the questions are related to your songs. It's genius you know!!

I have a dilemma. It’s like this. ‘I gots to gets me some cool’. Where do you get yours from, and where do you suggest I get mine?
(We were expecting him to have a little chuckle but we've never seen him look so serious in our life!)
Well you can probably get yours from the same place I get mine. You can’t get it from a shop, it’s just something you acquire over time.

In your song ‘Asthmatic’, you say "Asthmatics do it". What do asthmatics do? – apart from the obvious!
Martyn wrote that song, but I think yeah that’s just it, the obvious!! It’s a song about asphyxiation.

Name someone who you think is big and beautiful?
(Thinks for about half an hour) I can’t think of anyone. I have to say someone or I’ll come across as really nasty. Maybe Johnny Vegas?’...ohh hang on he’s not exactly beautiful. Martin Luther King perhaps...he was quite big - I think!

Vanessa Feltz maybe?
No way! oh i'm going to get in trouble....Okay I’ll say Pavarotti! Although I’m not sure he’s beautiful. But yeah Pavarotti, he’ll do. No actually, Oscar Wilde is quite big – put Oscar Wilde instead.

Who makes you smoulder? Laura wants you to say her!!
Kate moss, Marylin Monroe, Brigette Bardot, talking to strong women – like I am now!

Ooh Matthew!
Who would you like to suffocate apart from Caroline?
Er...I really can't think of anyone I hate enough.

Where does the music take you?
Away from boredom

Which part of your body would you like have as bionic?
If I don’t say the obvious answer or I’ll get slated!!! I’d love to have bionic balls!!!
