DIAL M FOR MURDER – Interview

Dial M For Murder sind David und Andy aus Schweden. Im August erschien ihr großartiges Debütalbum “ Fiction Of Her Dreams” auf Tapete Records. Die roh produzierten Songs auf der Platte sorgen durch ihre subtile Zerrissenheit genau für den “thrilling moment” à la Hitchcock. Live erleben kann man Dial M for Murder am Sonntag, den 22. November im Ponyhof in Frankfurt am Main. Dort wird die Bedroomdisco ürbigens David und Andy nochmal persönlich zum Interview treffen. UND soviel sei verraten, das Konzert wird an diesem Blog auch im Nachhinein nicht spurlos vorbeigehen! Seid also gespannt. Jetzt aber erstmal das Bedroomdisco Interview mit Dial M For Murder!

2.) Questionnaire:

What is the story behind your band name?

We get a lot of inspiration from Hitchcock. So first of all we thought of “The Birds”, which is one of our favourite movies. But it was a bit to similar to the well known band “The Byrds”. So instead we borrowed the name from another great Hitchcock movie. Dial M for Murder.

How did you become a band?

We met during summer 2007 and decided to form a band. We used the autumn to get inspiration and and did not touch our instruments until we recorded our first demo during winter 07/08.
