Suck On A Straw

Sugarbabe, Sugarbabe

First I want to talk style. There is a photo of you wearing nothing but a pair of dungarees holding a steel guitar and Skoko wields a 1930's haircut with a lace umbrella from colonial times and a pair of denim shorts… Explain.

Skoko: It’s an homage to the ’20s and ‘30s. We chose items from our time that are still connecting us with the past. We consider the tradition to be part of us and not a long gone stranger. The style in the pictures represent our musical influences in some way. Bluebird is a great fan of old blues, he’s dark skinned and looks like if he just left the fields, ready to sit under the porch and play some chords for his soul. Me, I’m a white lady with a passion for ’20s/’30s looks, voices and attitude – say, libertine. I think those are the times where women of a certain kind (very rich and very poor) were free minded, open for new experiences, passionate for life and enjoying themselves through music and vice (everything that was not “normal”). In another way, the picture represent a dynamic duality between black and white, man and woman, neat and naughty, devil and angel, bad and good, like our music. I could talk with you for long hours about it, sipping a cup of coffee on a sunny day...
