INTERVIEW MONSTRE - THE DARTS "I wanted to name the band something that women would understand but men might not"

What is a Monster interview? Unlike the lengthy interviews we sometimes offer, it's limited to a few questions. From week to week, you'll find different recurring themes. It's up to you to choose your favorite questions, or to read the whole thing. Have fun with Nicole of THE DARTS ! Taste question: Which artists have influenced you the most, and what can you tell us exemples about this influence? Who is the artist you dislike and why will he/she never influence you? Nicole: The Darts are influenced the most by Thee Trashwomen , for their primitive, trashy girl-gang sound, but also by classic garage like The Animals , for the vocal melodies and organ vibe, Nick Cave , for the ballads we have, and The Cramps , for the guitar riffs and tones and the overall style on stage. I can't say that we violently dislike anything, in fact I have very wide and differing musical tastes in this band, but modern power pop and modern country music are definitely very very low on our tas
