"It's Just Trance Music, Really"

An Interview With Tim Holmes From Death in Vegas

TH: I play bass very badly, keyboards equally as badly. We just kind of sequence it and stuff, and you can play badly and repair it, and then you can get someone who really can play to come in and do it live, so we get by.

THC: You had a lot of collaborators on the last album--were there any collaborators you wanted but couldn't get?

TH: One.

THC: One?

TH: Yeah, we don't know if he said no, because we didn't really hear

back at all. Jason Pierce, from Spiritualized. We sent him a track, and the day we sent him the track, I read in the music press--NME [Britain's New Musical Express magazine]--and it said Jason Pierce has been advised to rest, he's suffering from nervous exhaustion and he's been told by his doctors to rest, so...

THC: So you don't know what he thought?

TH: No, I don't even know if he listened to it, actually.

THC: Is there anyone you've thought of that you'd like to work with, but haven't had the chance to yet?

TH: We've got ideas for the next album, yeah.
