With today being the release of Saving Aimee’s ‘We’re The Good Guys’ we caught up with Saving Aimee to ask them some questions regarding the song and general band life.

Q1. With the release of We’re The Good Guys upon us can you tell us a bit about the songs meaning and background?

(SEAN) 1. I think the meaning behind the lyrics, is pretty much about those unattainable gorgeous girls, that know how pretty they are, and use it to their advantage, and men still get the bad reputation for being untrustworthy. The lyrics reflect it pretty much by saying we still have our pride, we’re the good guys. So as time goes on those gorgeous ladies will lose their looks, but we will still be here ‘coming up fast with the good guys’.

Q2. You originally started off with borrowed instruments and a ‘clapped out van’ If the band had a chance to go back in time, would you do anything differently?

(SEAN) 2. If we could go back in time, we wouldn’t change a thing. We have learnt so much from what we have done and its created some of the most memorable moments that I don’t think any of us would change. We used to have a sofa in the back of the van, with the equipment stored around it. Maybe not the best idea, but one of the funniest in our long history of stupid/unrealistic plans.

Q3. Has the band ever Googled themselves? And be honest!

(SEAN) 3. Our band is awful, because I know we all google ourselves!! We cant help but try and read the reviews people write about us, or just in general to see what the general vibe about the band is.

Q4. Do you get a bigger ‘buzz’ from performing in front of large crowds, or being able to interact easier with smaller crowds?

(SEAN) 4. Generally the buzz from any show is enough. If the crowd is smaller, obviously its easier to interact and go jump over the barrier etc, but at the same time a large crowd at a bigger venue is louder and generally alot more receptive. The best aspect of our live show is we will play the same intense level at any size crowd and not change, and as long as at least 2 people are feeling the music, we will give it our all. The feeling of people enjoying live music generates the energy.

Q5. Small Talk was an extremely catchy song that I was singing in my head for days. Do you believe the catchyness helped it achieve the amount of success that it did?

(SATOSHI) 5. Yeah, it’s a very catchy tune. It was definitely the chorus of Small Talk that gave it the real quirkiness of the song. You’ve got the hard-hitting talky Billy Joel ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’ style verses and this hooky chorus that drills into your head. We released this when we were relatively small as a free download. If it had the exposure we can get nowadays it could have been a hit. Maybe we’ll re-release it, who knows. It’ll still serve as an amazing album track.

Q6. Do you believe services such as MySpace are vital for any up and coming band?

(SATOSHI) 6. MySpace is an up and coming bands main tool. An online press pack for the world to see, but better. Incorporating fan interaction, gig listings and all sorts of media. It’s even responsible for helping bands increase their fan bases. Literally anyone can be creative and put out their music. It’s an amazing invention. Other social networking sites are great too, but MySpace is our epicentre.

Q7. Last but not least, what can fans expect when coming to a Saving Aimee show? What makes Saving Aimee stand out from other bands?

(SATOSHI) 7. Saving Aimee shows are a fun – energetic – feel good dance/rock rave. Performance wise, we play our music like we’re in a hardcore/hair metal band with dance breakdowns. Our shows are full of hair flicking, head banging, cock thrusts and claps. We perform every move from the eighties. Don’t forget the power stances. Come to one of our shows, you will have the time of your life.
