We Have The Place Surrounded.

How hard work, talent and determination can take you far in music.

We are gattered here with the Viña del Mar Natives We Have The Place Surrounded (WHTPS from now on), the band is formed by Leo (drums), Javo (second guitar), Gaston (bass) and Nelson (guitar and vocals). The band started about a year ago and with the release of their debut album "Efforts" they have created a buzz for delivering a strong live set and for the sound and composition of their album.

I was wondering, how was the process of writing the songs for your album?

Nelson: It was mainly written by me. I ussualy came to the rehersal space with a song and from that point on the rest of the band added their contribution and that way the songs started to get done.

Do you have many fights amongst yourselfs while you where composing the album?

Javo: No, we are first and foremost friends so we all know each other very well, the fighting was kept to a minimun.

Gastón: The process was actualy very fun so when the creativity is flowing it´s a good time, so we didn´t fight often just when it was necessary.

What kind of food do you like to eat? Is there any unusual food you like?

Nelson: We eat a lot of fast food and all sort of add watter and eat food, like noodle soup, pre-made rissoto, the mash potatoes that come in a box etc. We have our own place with Gaston so healthy food or cooking skills aren´t necessary one of our concerns.

What are your main influences in music?

Javo: Most of all alternative rock comes to mind, bands like Interpol, Lost in the Trees, Radiohead, Two Door Cinema Club and many others. The influences are mostly in the sound they get from their instruments more than the composition part of things, we don´t get influenced by the lyrics of this bands or they composition style i´ts mainly the sound that achieve.

What would be you ultimate dream in life?

Nelson: I think that a nice dream to fullfill would be to live from music, to have a stable life to be able to pay our bills, and of course would be really fun to play in other countries England comes to mind almost inmediatly.

This finishes up todays interview, we thank the guys in the band and hope to see them live very soon, keep yourselves in the loop to find out about tour dates and new releases, have fun and support artists always you can.
