and if someone could translate this piece of text that accompanies it, that would be greeeeeeat.


Rita Boehmer traf die englisch-indische Popband SWAMI im Januar im Karlstorbahnhof in Heidelberg im Rahmen des Birthday Bash der Bombay Boogie Night. Die Reihe feierte an diesem Abend mit einem 'Birthday Bash' fünfjähriges Jubiläum. Die Musiker von SWAMI waren der sehr gelungene und glamouröse Live-Act des Abends. Nach ihrem Auftritt sprachen die sympathischen Musiker mit Rita über ihre Musik, ihre Texte, Musikstile und wie wichtig es ist, nicht 'nach jemand zu klingen' und mit interessanten Musikern überall auf der Welt Musik zu machen.

P.S Yes I look fucked, I just came off stage dammit.
 
"it's like rap and stuff.." What the fuck dudde? :P

Do the other guys talk? (ok here they go).

Nice Prince chain ;)

Why are you red flagging?

Who fucked the chick? And who fucked the other chick?

But yeah man great interview looks like another step up for you guys props and great idea on the password on the CD thing I might have to steal that ;)
 
Hoggin the mic haha.

LOL @ I like to rap and stuff. Blonde moment.


Also, the way you express yourself, reminds me of david brent.
 
The guy with the green shirt seems really a cool guy. He really knows how to explain his music.

The dude who was to your left almost made you guys look like a bunch of arrogant fucks and the guy in the green shirt explained what he said in another way lol.

It pretty much says bla bla bla swarmi is glamourous bla bla bla they sat down with rita and discussed their music etc and how important it is not to sound like others and to make music with interesting artists around the world.

LMAO. I was basically being sarcastic when I said that. I thought it was a stupid question because the interviewers had just seen us perform so I thought it was pretty obvious what I do. Not to mention, I was tired from the performance, also as soon as we hit the dressing room, Bobby (the percussionist) poured me a big quad-shot of whiskey which I downed, and then poured me another whiskey and coke which I drank at the same time as having a beer and a spliff.

10 minutes later, I find out that we're about to do an interview....lol

I think you can tell. Look at this, this is us in the same dressing room except before the gig:

LOL, we're not allowed to hit on our new female vocalist cos we get kicked out if we do. Not that it makes a difference since I'm married.

And I don't think anyone fucked the German chick lol. Maybe the German dude that was filming it did. Rofl.

Yeah the password thing was a dope idea and it's worked really well so far. People feel rewarded for buying the album and they're happy to get the bonus tracks and they don't wanna share them around cos they feel like they earned them by supporting us. The bonus mixes and stuff on the private site didn't leak for AGES, so the plan worked. And I saw people on other forums asking where they could download those mixes for free, but the people that had them didn't want to share :thumb:

Hoggin the mic haha.

LOL. There's always something dumb that can be picked out of an interview. Or a stage performance. One time after the FIFA game came out, we were about to play the song that's in the game, and my cousin says to the crowd "Yeah, this song is in the new FIFA World Cup game........so...................................................................enjoy football!"

Lol we just looked at him like "wtf? enjoy football?"

David Brent? Why cos i'm english?

I caught the part about rap and stuff also, lol. Hilarious. Your accent is great. Call me and leave me a voice mail that I can play over and over. Thanks.

Send me your number and let's make it happen :thumb:

That's my cousin in the green shirt. And yeah, he's the head of the band and a multi-million selling producer in his own right, so he's the master of doing interviews etc. He always knows exactly the right way to come across. That's something you can only learn with time and experience and I think I'm pretty good at it now, whereas the other guys are still a bit stiff and unsure in interviews.

The dude to my left is our punjabi vocalist, yeah he can go a bit over the top sometimes lol.

It pretty much says bla bla bla swarmi is glamourous bla bla bla they sat down with rita and discussed their music etc and how important it is not to sound like others and to make music with interesting artists around the world.

Did you just make that up? lol

Do you speak German dude?

Yeah, I do have mild ADHD for the record. My cousin said I was way too hyper in this interview. Some interviews of us that you can see on youtube, I'm more chilled out and don't really say anything, this time I was loving the sound of my own voice too much I think :D
 
LOL, we're not allowed to hit on our new female vocalist cos we get kicked out if we do
damn, who says you are not alloweed 2 hit on the women. What if she'd like it? :D

Yeah you are a lil hyper in the interview when it starts but fuck it, over all I really like the interview, I think she does a good job of keepin it fresh and intersting.
 
No, he didnt make it up. He grew up in germany so he understands most of it.

Not just most but all of it. I just didin't feel like translating all of it. Just did the important parts that mattered.

Yea you seem pretty hyper dude but thats no big deal. You are drunk too so its understandable.

It was a good interview though. Good to see things are going well for you man. What other countries will you guys be touring and what cities in germany?
 
I wouldn't really say you come off as hyper. I mean you just did a performance and then you got some drinks in you lol. You're actually fine in this interview if you ask me. A lil enthusiastic.

let's just say there was an "incident" a few years ago where some major shit could have gone down because of what somebody did in regards to fooling around with a chick.....im not gonna say any more but thankfully it all worked itself out in the end lol.

anyway - groupies yeah, fans yeah, bandmembers/featured vocalists no, business associates no. that's how it goes, lol, its just common sense.

Glad you liked the interview man. My missus actually said it was one of the best interviews she's seen with us. I think it's 'cause the chick interviewing us did a good job like you said and asked some good questions.

Not just most but all of it. I just didin't feel like translating all of it. Just did the important parts that mattered.

Yea you seem pretty hyper dude but thats no big deal. You are drunk too so its understandable.

Cheers for that man.

We should be hitting up India, Canada, the US, France, South Africa, Australia and of course the UK over the next 6 months.

I dunno about Germany, I'm sure we will be back there soon as well but I don't know about what cities. So far we've only played in Berlin and Heidelberg. I like Germany a lot though, there's a wicked vibe there. Would be good to play in other German cities too. I do want to go back to Berlin and Heidelberg as well, those places rock and we didn't really get much time to check out either city as we weren't there for very long.

I wouldn't really say you come off as hyper. I mean you just did a performance and then you got some drinks in you lol. You're actually fine in this interview if you ask me. A lil enthusiastic.

Thanks man. It's hard to judge sometimes.
 
^Where in Canada you coming to? Get me tickets if you are coming to Toronto.

I know a bunch of people in the T-Dot so I'd love to hit up but right now, we don't have any bookings there for our next visit, we have 3 gigs in Vancouver though in April.

Having said that, what happens a lot is that if we are playing in a country, other promoters find out that we're already in the country and book us. So there's every chance we might have a stop in T-Dot as well. Also I know that we will be in Canada in the summer as well but so far I haven't heard what cities.

But yeah I'll keep you updated for sure.
