A Quick Chat With Sample Answer
Like the sound of an Acoustic/Indie/Urban solo project from Dublin, Ireland currently based in London who has shared bills with Pete Doherty, The View, Congo Natty and Alabama 3?
We caught up with Sample Answer aka Maurice O’Connor for more…
When I first started playing music…
Do you remember those plastic electric guitars, where you’d press a button and it’d do a solo, but it also had strings. I used to be shit at that so I pressed the buttons and pretended to play.
I chose my name because…
I wasn’t smart enough to think of one myself. So I asked a girl I fancied for a name and she gave me & my mate I was in a band with ‘Sample Answer’. Some weird shit happened to him and he left, so I decided to keep the name…WHY THE FUCK NOT?!
I knew I was on to something when…
I stopped going out, and wrote instead. I actually enjoyed it more then getting drunk and fucking girls I didn’t care about in a field with a bunch of my mates like everyone other dumbass teenager…
Your biggest influences are…
Women, I really really love women…ya ever get them women that just make you say “Fuck…” yeah them types…
I’m most proud of …
My ma probably.
My ideal support slot would be with…
I supported one of my heroes already. Pete Doherty, he has always had a heroic quality about him.
One item you can’t live without on tour is…
Women.
I can’t stop listening to…
This lad called Sample Answer… you may have heard of him.
I’m not ashamed to admit that…
I would chill with Justin Bieber…he’s alright, fuck people that don’t like him just because he’s good at a lot of shit and your not…
Catch us next…
Join the mailing list or follow the FB & you’ll get everything…even a bit of sex.
