Meeting Chew Lips
What’s the best during tours ? Is it spending 7 hours a day in a car, listening to Gauthier’s unknown 90’s american bands ? Not ! It’s enjoying gigs you didn’t expect to see. And one of best new musical addiction we got last summer was CHEW LIPS: Alicia Huertas aka Tigs the great front woman, and her boys Will Sanderson and James Watkins.

Listen to SALT AIR, original version
After sharing stages at Secret Garden, Cambrigeshire & Truck Festival, Oxfordshire, we spent few hours together and kidnapped Tigs for a mini interview.
Thomas : In what animal would you like to be reincarnated?
Tigs : I’d like to be a narwhal. They’re absolutely my favourite animal. People used to call then “moon whales”. And collectors who had their tusk used to think it was from a unicorn. Awesome !
Clotilde : For or against wearing moccasins?
Tigs : Absolutely against. No question. The other day I saw a young man wearing uggs. This is only marginally worse. And this is one of the many reasons I hate west London.
Cyril : what’s your favorite activity in your Tourbus ?
Tigs : favourite tourbus activity? probably drinking as there’s not much to do. Oh and James and i like the game Boggle. And obviously we like to amuse ourselves with thousands of groupies…..
Extra question from Cyril : what’s your Top 5 most played songs in your Ipod ?
Tigs : looking at my ipod statistics, my top 5 most played songs are…..
b52s - topaz,
Two Door Cinema Club - Something Good Can Work,
Phoenix - Lisztomania,
LCD soundsystem - Someone Great,
Eagles Of Death Metal - So Easy.
