More quotes by Alex Kapranos
A lot of bands have the enthusiasm kicked out of them by playing really dreary pub venues that just churn bands through.
Alex Kapranos
Surely every band wants to be a pivotal point in history.
Alex Kapranos
I find American football quite ridiculous generally. I don't understand it. It looks like a lot of guys dressed up as spacemen shouting at each other.
Alex Kapranos
Cinema, which is influenced by every single part of life, is direct and reaches you immediately. And writing - the best writing is complex ideas communicated concisely. And music - if it's a good tune, make sure people can bloody hear it!
Alex Kapranos
You can't write for the cultural environment - if you do that, by the time it comes out, that cultural environment has passed. You have to be aiming for something that's original - that's the only way you can have any kind of impact.
Alex Kapranos
I want to change and try new ideas - allowing your sonic identity to evolve in your music and not being afraid of that. You see musicians hit upon something that works, and then go, Let's keep doing that for 10 years. And that idea kind of terrifies me a little bit. It becomes like a day job then.
Alex Kapranos
There's a character that I play onstage, and I can't let him loose in the supermarket when I'm buying my beans on toast.
Alex Kapranos
Maybe 'Can't Stop Feeling' and 'Turn It On' we'll just release as singles. It's a thing The Beatles used to do which I really loved, the idea of releasing something as a single completely on its own.
Alex Kapranos
I have always been fascinated by the concept of the villain and the hero being in one person.
Alex Kapranos
Boredom or being sick of what you've done before is a big part of being in a band.
Alex Kapranos
It's very rare that a song falls from your mind complete.
Alex Kapranos
Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
Alex Kapranos
Boho to me is a first-year student who's just discovered the tie-dye shop.
Alex Kapranos
Why play a chord when you can play one note?
Alex Kapranos
I think a lot of bands are creatively knackered when they come off tour.
Alex Kapranos
Being in a band didn't buy me my beans on toast!
Alex Kapranos
The Beatles were huge for me, ... I used to jump around the room to the red album, the one with all the early hits on it. It made you feel euphoric. It was a sensation I couldn't get from anything else, whether it was playing football, swimming or even seeing 'Star Wars.'
Alex Kapranos
A lot of food criticism has a similar flavor to it, and I'm probably going to write about it in a different way.
Alex Kapranos
The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.
Alex Kapranos
It's easy to be lazy when there's food lying around backstage or there's a fast-food joint a couple blocks away. But if you walk a little further, ask around a bit, of course there are exciting things to discover.
