About Me
The Molotovs play twenties inspired bar room French pop music. No member of the band has ever made a concerted effort to do so, but somehow, the songs keep sounding a little twenties, a little rickety, a little dusty, a little French, and even a little Sinatra - all mixed with the Indie background which we come from. Since these influences aren't deliberate, no one can call us pretentious. Or perhaps that just makes us innately pretentious, like someone who doesn't try and be wanker, but just IS one. Who knows. We play gigs once a week, mostly in London, at which flowers are often present in one form or another.
There was a period a while ago where we all thought we may no longer like each other, but old flames are hard to dampen. All but one of us met at a large and wearing party in Oxford, the sort which goes on far too long, ceases to be a party, and instead becomes an endurance test. To pass the time, we picked up instruments and played for a couple months, enjoyed ourselves, then played more when the party finally came to an end. The fifth member was met during the protracted hang over, and he fit in just fine. We all gathered in a room in Old Street, and recorded ourselves with a laptop. Right now someone is recording us with a bigger computer. If you listen real close, you might hear from us.
