What’s the difference between this album and the previous one?
So: This album is more fun than our first one. The name of the album is “Plien” [Change] and we changed many things. Our drummer has become a lead singer, we switched to a new label, and unlike our first super-chill album, our music is now more frantic.
Nueng: Mellow moods are still in our album but we added more upbeat melodies too this time around.
What does Etc. mean?
B: Etcetera means we like all kinds of different music even though we choose to play together. Some of us like standard and fusion jazz; others are fond of R&B and rock. We blend our passions and find a harmony in it.
What would you say to those who would like to get where you are now?
So: Success takes time. We all have been through many things to get to this point. We have been playing music since we were in university. We joined lots of contests and played in pubs until P’Aom, a producer from GMM, found us and invited us to launch an album. From the beginning until now, we never changed our goal, which is to make good songs for audiences and for ourselves. You must try hard and practice all the time.
What do you get from music?
Nueng: Playing music is like trying to hook up with a girl. Every time I’m on a stage, I'm full of adrenalin. It’s kind of exciting when I think that I’m just a normal person who’s standing in the spotlight. But the best thing is that I have a chance to do what I like and to be myself. It makes me really happy.
So: I get satisfaction knowing that there are people out there who love what we do.
