Quotes, February 1999 "We've done loads of demos already. After Kenickie split, we could've gone away and been lazy, but instead we decided to get up on Monday morning and work out what we were going to do. And we just got together and started writing songs. There were so many ideas coming out, it was unbelievable." [Emmy-Kate] "I don't think Rosita sound like Kenickie. There's bound to be a common thread, because we're the same people, but the sound is very different. We're still a guitar band, but we're no longer playing them in that 'bash someone over the head' way. We sound much nicer, but not in a wet or girlie way." [Marie] "We're approaching everything with a lot of caution. Last time, we did end up on the wrong record label. Some of the advice we received was the biggest pile of pigswill I've ever heard from human mouths." However, "All that stuff about how the big nasty company forced us to do things...that's not what happened. The only thing they ever did that we were violently opposed to was the re-release of 'Punka'. Apart from that, they let us do what we liked, more or less." [Marie] "We're still tuneful and we're still very pop and we've got lots of big choruses. But we're better - we're the best! We're really excited. We just can't wait to get some records out and get touring again!" [Marie] "Rosita is quite feminine, but not girly. It's a Spanish girl's name, basically. It's so easy to come up with something like 'Corn Plaster', but we wanted something more exotic." [Marie] |
