I'll be interviewing Andreas for the ProgPower program this coming Monday. If anyone has a specific question for him regarding the band, fire away!
Yes, I got one "I heard that you are cannibals an d particularly like Brazilians, is this true?"
I'd always assumed that "Seventh Wonder" referred to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient (or Modern?) World.....errm, specifically, the last one of the bunch.
--But I'm certainly curious to know the definitive answer.
Saw this on their website:
Q: What is the meaning behind the band name ‘Seventh Wonder’?
There is none! The band name Seventh Wonder was a suggestion from Andreas Blomqvist after the band had found out that the band name Neverland was already taken. It was one suggestion among a few others and it was the one that the rest of the band liked the most –so it was adopted as the new band name.
Also found the answer there to my question:
Q: What are the band member’s jobs and/or previous jobs?
Tommy is a fire fighter and also deals with traffic accidents and similar. Kyrt is in IT support and repairs hardware such as cash machines and laptops. Andreas works with pacemaker research including algorithm development and project managing. Johan works with musical equipment including setting them up and delivering them to events. Johnny works in a warehouse and handles the incoming goods, ordering and logistics.
Awww...sorry Milton. You'll think of something even better
How about...
Have any members of the band ever been to the States before? What are your expectations for playing PPUSA?
Will the new album also be a concept album or individual songs?
You played quite a few festivals last summer including PP Europe and Sweden Rock. How was that experience; any interesting stories to tell?
