JOHN: HEALTH is BJ, JAKE, JUPITER and JOHN. BJ drums. Jake sings and plays guitar and zoothorn. Jupiter plays guitar, percussion, zoothorn and keyboards. I play bass, zoothorn, electronic percussion + other noise stuff.
JOHN: Oh fuck, I dunno. Loud? Abrasive? I never wanna say experimental cuz that equals SUCK in my brain. Most applicable adjectives equal SUCK in the average brain, so I'm looking for the right thing to say. HEALTH//NOISE is the band, the music. HEALTH//DISCO is the remixes, for the club. HEALTH//FASHION is the clothes, the merch, the "lifestyle", (sorry giggling now). Love Angel Music Baby.
JOHN: Its very difficult. When we started discovering our sound, one of the hardest things was adapting Jake's vocals to it, as originally there was a clash. Over time Jake developed the vocal style he has now to the music.
JOHN: Internet Luv. We heard CCastles on 20jazzfunkgreats years ago and shit a brick, we emailed them and started talking about doing a split or a remix. They were down for both. Our courtship continued via the Internet for the next year and a half. Now we're on tour together and its mega-fabulous.
JOHN: Biggest influence is all rock and roll from like 1960 to now +some electro shit. I'd say the chief influence is music. We've stopped taking direct influences from bands at this point. But Ex Models were a direct influence on the band in the early days.
JOHN: The zoothorn is responsible for all the wierd sounds and all noise on the record. Speaking for the guys. Jake's is his vintage Music Man amp. BJ is his Gretsch kit. Jupiter's is the junky keyboard he got from BJ's mom, and mine is my Behringer mixer, not because of the gear (it sux), but because of the feedback loop.
JOHN: The Smell. Though we love Rhinoceropolis in Denver, that place is awesome. Favorite band we've ever toured with is also our favorite band, Crystal Castles. Also playing with Dan Deacon was completely magical, we also love playing w/ Captain Ahab, Anavan, Kyle H. Mabson.
JOHN: Oh, he was shopping at some boutique, and we happened to be playing next door outside for this dublab project (VisionVersion) at materials and applications in Silverlake. We were all, "holy shit its the guy from Office Space!" I hoped he watched it. Our only other celeb encounter was that Tim Roth saw us at the El Rey and took pics. That was rad.
JOHN: A new record, as soon as we get off the road we want to write and record. The HEALTH//DISCO record coming out soon. Another 12"single + 7". Some collaborations I can't reveal just yet.
