I've always pursued the idea of ​​rock and roll ...

Larissa Kellerer met YA-HA to the interview:

What was your highlight of 2011?
Jana: Of course, that we have asked the panel finished and we went on tour, so we had the opportunity to perform the new songs live sometimes.
Flo: It was in Cannes also very interesting. Very special because we have just played in France. And with German music, that is something special.

What do you wish for 2012?
Flo: No. few weeks vacation.
Jill: Many concerts play, nothing else really. Concerts are the most important thing.
Flo: play festivals in the summer, that was last year that is a bit difficult. And just that we have some cool bookings.

What may not be missing Backstage with you?
Jana: Still water and vegetarian food in any case.
Flo: I absolutely need wifi.
Dirk: Otherwise, we are a rather unassuming strip.

What do you think of which depends on success?
Flo: Basically of course the music. You should get out out from the crowd and the people must have fixed it. But if the people do not like your songs, not much you can do about it.

What you let your inspiration?
Dirk: From beautiful everyday moments. In general, especially of the Isar in Munich.

What do you like about Munich?
Jana: Of course, the Isar and quarters such as the Glockenbach with his cafe's, etc. And you're very quick in nature, the mountains can ... We are all human nature.

Jana, you grew up in California, the daughter of a harem woman Rainer Langhans. How do you that life has influenced and inspired?
Jill: Just the whole way as I grew up, as we have lived together - it was all very open, artistic and relaxed. It was a special and spiritual atmosphere. But I just can not name ...

Would you sometimes wish you to live a life of 0815-in a terraced house in Green Forest?
Jana: 0815-A may not be life, but more contact with my father would have been great. He lives in America and that's why I rarely saw him. Sometimes it would have been such a beautiful mother-father-child family to have.

What can you or will you give young musicians on the road?
Flo: That which will make, on which the block have. Of course, as well as drum's going to get there and so on but you should always stay true to yourself. And that the coal does not spend for professional studio recording. Dear record itself ... In the early stages you have more fun at home - because you should invest the money in equipment. I think it brings more in the long run.

How did you come up with the idea YA-HA set up?
Flo: Jana and I have already worked a lot anyway, and eventually we wanted to do more than just individual songs. And then it was clear that we wanted to do something together.

You have to make your other careers because of worries that with HA-YA first is the end or does it continue?
Flo: Yes, of course. We get so out not just an album ... No, no! We continue on!


What are your goals pursued as a band?
Flo: Now comes the new album just out, and then look like once it arrives so with the people. In any case, we want to play live a lot and also produce a follow up album.

There was a dramatic experience in the recordings?
Dirk: Well, so much a great experience .. rather small number of Big Bangs!

How was it for you, the final and finished album in hand to hold?
Jill: Well, yes you can hear it every now and again through, to see whether or where to fit the mixture could still change things ...
Flo: That's right, you hear in the production of course every now and then clean. But the album is wrapped to see a great feeling. My is sealed, for example, still at home ...

What was your first album and what music has inspired and encouraged you?
Dirk: I have always pursued the idea of ​​rock and roll ...
Jill: I was with bands like tonsteinescherben it ... and so at 13 I have a lot and often the dead belonged pants.
Flo: For me it was tonsteinescherben bands like, but my first band played death metal, with me on bass. Of course there was also some death metal bands that I listened and thought to myself "I will be playing bass."

Which artists would you like to play a concert?
Flo: It's hard to say. There are many bands that I like to see live and with whom I would also like to play maybe .. I find it just a specific one is not.

What are you looking forward to the next time?
Flo: Of course on the tour and the concerts we will play!
Jill: Everything is open. I'm looking forward to that, what's coming, but what we do not know exactly!
