Jean-Jacques Burnel of The Stranglers,

Tell us about your instruments/amp/gear?
My bass is the most beautiful bass
guitar in the world:) It's Fender Jazz

SVT (amp) and 2x6" + 2x12" + 1x18" box,

. . . and your current band?
My current band is still my first band
with my sister Tina on guitar and our
friend Matej on drums, The Rock Flock.
we play some melodic punk. I am come from small
city, full of discrimination, that's why
I started to play with my sister. When
we started to searching for a drummer no
one wanted to play with us, until we
found Matej.

I listen to all new interesting music

Hives... one of my favourite bands are
Placebo, Muse and Massive Attack. From
older bands I like Hole.
What are your hobbies outside music?
Interior design, travel, shopping and
visiting theatres, exhibitions and good
concerts.
Are you recording?
We are still working on our first album.
It will be done soon. I'm very
optimistic because we are one of the
most popular demo bands in Croatia,
people do come a lot on our concerts and
big bands are supporting us very much,
some of them are even jealous!
