The Pepersplum are a rock and roll outfit consisting of two sisters from Mexico. Following from four album releases the sisters' most recent single sees two versions of the one song. Tomatrax caught up with the band to ask a few questions.
What inspired you to form a band together?
Sussie: Hi, first of all thanks for this time to the Peppersplum, well you know we always wanted to sing, dance, perform... and have an act and take our voices to all the posible places.
Marie: We always liked the same music, and have that desire of being in a band, was like
"Sussie know what? I like to be in a band", and she said "No way... me too!"
So we both said "What are we waiting for? Let's do it right away."
Where did the name The Pepersplum come from?
Sussie: Well we wanted to show all the mixtures we have, we first thought of just peppers but there are lots of peppers lol.
Marie: So we came out with a name that would sugget a combination of sweet and spicy that's fits with the
music, the emotions, the feelings.
Are there any other versions recorded?
Marie: No, just dance and rock.
Sussie: Yes two version are enough for now.
What other music do you listen to?
Marie: Mainly what we like that is rock from any decade, mostly, 50s, 60s, and 70s, but we like a very
wide sort of music Frank Sinatra, classical music, country, soul, dance.
Sussie: Yes, big bands music, also mowtown, rhythm and blues, We enjoy any kind of music.
Now that your album is out what do you plan on doing next?
Sussie: We'd love to take it to all the posible places, we think a concert is a party where all have to have
fun so Let's party!
Marie: We'd love the world take a listen to this work, that was done conscientiously and with care.
Both: Before we end we like to thanks again for this interview and hope we could see everyone in a party.
