FMA 025: Jan Kucera (Skywalker)

Jan Kucera (Skywalker)

After the interview Jan said that it was the most interesting interview he has ever done. Although, SKYWALKER have given quiet a lot interviews so far they are normally asked questions about…

Guess what…?!

Star Wars!

Yes, people and (volunteer) journalists seem to be THAT one-dimensional. I mean, come on! Who asks a band called SKYWALKER questions about Star Wars?

Seriously?!

Like they have NEVER EVER answered such questions before…

Burghhhh…

Furthermore, Jan told me an interesting anecdote about the Czech scene:

SKYWALKER once received an invitation to play a festival with Death Metal-bands what, most obviously, is not pretty close to the genre they see themselves in. Nonetheless, they agreed because genres don’t matter. What concerned Jan the most before the show was if he would have even the tiniest chance to eat at that festival. As a vegan he expected nothing and actually less. But surprisingly enough they had put up an entire vegan buffet – for all the bands.

Once again:

Covers and books do not always match.

BTW:

We all know Ashton Kutcher, right? ‘Kutcher’ is the Americanized version of Czech surname ‘Kuçera’.

Yep, Jan told me that while we went back to the venue.

p.s.

Being on the road is everything for Jay. And he admits that a good soundtrack is the song “Pave Paradise” by HAVE HEART. Actually the entire record “The Things We Carry” is rad.

You, reader, stop clicking through the Internet. Go get this album and listen to it over and over again!
