- How did Lovex come about?
The band was started in the spring of 2002. We were just a loose bunch of friends who wanted to get together and play some Mood Metal. The members changed and gradually the music changed from just mood-metal, nut then in March 2004 we found the final make-up of the band and it happened. The sun had just set when Lovex was born and burst metaphorically from the cave. The light was confusing but pleasing to the newborn and it was clear that Lovex would not live in others shadows. With 6 noisy heads and a manly body Lovex hardly differed from the other newborn but little did they know, who thought that it would soon cease its playing and its sounds as it grew older. The 6 headed smiler was born to be a rock star. That is the story of Lovexes birth in a nutshell then
- Have you studied music or are you self-taught? Sammy and Jason have briefly been in some band school but I don’t know if you could count that. Five of us are petty much self-taught apart from a few guitar or drum lessons from friends. Christian, our specialist in keyboards, on the other hand, has been studying music for about 15 years and at the moment is studying music technology. We have all played different instruments for nearly ten years, though.
- Who or what are Lovexes musical inspirations?
There haven’t been any clear influences. Of course, there have been bands which we have all liked a bit but we’ve all got quite distinct musical tastes and finding any particular role models is impossible. Our musical tastes only come together in Lovex. That’s why it’s such a fine band. When there are so many different points of view and we are all producing the songs then we don’t get stuck in any musical ruts. It all sounds like us of course but some pieces may be orchestral film music style or perhaps real nock your socks off rock/metal.
- What’s Lovexes main aim at the moment?
To become the worlds biggest rock band…..wink, wink….
Then, if you could give brief answer to these questions, we could get a clear picture of the band.
