I have never got fed up of The Stooges and The Velvets – they’re the anchor really. I mean there were loads of bands that made us wanna make music, but I think those two bands – the last pieces of the jigsaw was those two bands, when it all started to make sense. We knew we wanted to make music, but had no idea how. With The Velvets and The Stooges it was like “oh, right, now I get it” kind of thing.
