Call it alternative, post-punk, indie rock... for us it’s just the unique energetic Polpettas style! Rechtzeitig zu ihrem neuen Release "Que Sera, Sera" gaben sie uns die Ehre "The Polpettas". Danke an Ema & Mirko das ihr euch die Zeit genommen habt um uns ein paar Fragen zu beantworten.
The Polpettas - Spotify
Next LIVE! Event: 24th July 2021 - Café Carina - Vienna, Austria
Who inspired you to make music?
Big huge inspiration has been for me the music of Queen: I do love vocal parts so much. But only after discovering Grunge and Punk Rock bands we started practicing with instruments.
What is your creative process like?
Melody first. Often I have melodies on my mind and I start directly from there. With The Polpettas the creative process is a bit different but we choose the songs by the brilliant melodic part first and then time, lyrics, ect.
Who would you most like to collaborate with?
We have just got a fantastic collaboration with a female singer artist on our version of NY, NY and has been amazing. She fully understood the idea of the remake Polpettas style and sang with striking energy {she is not into punkrock music at all}. It would be also great to collaborate in the future with some hip-hop / rap artists.
What is the most useless talent you have?
Useless talk-talk-talk {sometimes}
What is the most useful talent you have?
Natural Tuning check by ear.
If you could change anything in the past, what would it be?
Everything. But actually... - The Past is just a story we tell ourselves - I enjoy the present thinking Year by Year {Ein Jahr, Ein Leben}
How do you feel the Internet (especially Social Media platforms) has impacted the music business?
Internet is an active tool. TV is a passive tool. The real issue is how humans use Internet. A good side of it is that via Social Media we musicians can spread our ideas around.
What’s next for you?
Travelling... I am a kind of vagabonda and with the good season I am definitely ready to travel again {an American East Coast Tour with The Polpettas in 2022 is more than possible}
What do you know about Austria?
We come from the Venetian area in Italy so we used to visit Villach and the Southern Austrian regions. Also we have performed at University of Wien in 2009 with other bands and I lived there in 2015/16.
The Polpettas are ....?
The Polpettas are two Lifetime friends and musicians devoted to music - Passion is the main driving force :}
