Oooh La La! It's Ou Est Le Swimming Pool
Can you introduce yourselves to our readers please?
Charles: I'm Charles.
Joe: I'm Joe.
Don't you all have very exotic surnames?
Charles: We were banned from using them. The record label thought they were a bit of a joke. I used to be called Andele Peligoso Pericosima and Joe was Fernando PI, like some sort of detective.
And here's me thinking they were your actual surnames and you may have possibly been a bit foreign...
Caan: A oui. Je m'appelle Caan.
And what French qualifications have you got, Caan?
Caan: An E! My best memory of school was from a French lesson though.
Joe: Yeah, we went to the same school. I was in a French lesson with Mr Jones and we looked out the window and there was a man on a roof of a building with a shotgun just shooting at pigeons. The teacher made us get down on the floor and move from the windows. The police were called and the whole area was blocked off.
Your band name suggests that you would like to find a swimming pool of some sort. Do you like to swim?
Joe: Good question! No.
Caan: When I went to the local swimming pool about four years ago there was a floater in it. I’d prefer to swim in the sea.
Joe: If I had my own rooftop swimming pool, then we’d be talking.
What's your favourite stroke?
Charles: The Breast stroke! Hey-hey!
Caan: It's got to be the doggy paddle.
And which Hollyoaks lady would you like to the breast stoke with? Ho-hum...
Joe: I'll be honest, I've never watched Hollyoaks.
Charles: I like the little blonde one, Hannah. I like her as well (points to lovely Hollyoaks Music Show with Matalan.co.uk runner, Lizzie). Lizzie, do you mind if we talk about you in the interview?
Lizzie: No.
What other extra-curricular activities do you like to get up to?
Charles: Well, we did play table tennis when we were recording our album in Primrose Hill. We love our PlayStation, we like our football... we... we love life!
Joe sports one and Caan, you used to sport one... Where's your moustache gone, son?
Caan: Sometimes I do have a moustache, yeah, but it's still kind of bum-fluffy. I decided to go for the clean shaven look today.
Charles, where's your moustache?
Charles: I can grow facial hair in certain places, but not in others.
Joe: Our facial hair grows in different polarities. Charles can grow a beard, but not a very good tash. I can grow a good moustache, but not a very good beard.
Master Shortie sports a tash, also. What's your take on this?
Charles: We did a gig with Master Shortie in The Hoxton Bar & Kitchen and then, after that, Master Shortie suddenly has a moustache!
What's next for The Swimming Pool?
Joe: Our single is officially out now! We've just started our tour with La Roux. The album's out next year too. We had a name for it – 'Synth You've Been Gone' – but we've changed it now.
Shame...
