60 Seconds with Pelle Carlberg
Pelle Carlberg, vocalist for Swedish pop band Edson, is on the road to promote his solo project. He stops by on his way to Taiwan.
Favorite Hong Kong noise: I still haven’t been to HK, so I guess my favorite sound so far is the “you got mail” alert when my HK promoter sends me some new exciting information.
Best gig: When it feels like time is standing still, when I get completely absorbed by the music and become one with my instruments. It happens every now and again.
Stupidest trend: I would have to say white tube socks.
On Hong Kong people dancing: I’m sure they can. Might be difficult for them to do it to music though.
Favorite audience: Any audience, really, as long as they like to listen and pay attention. Sometimes it’s nice when the audience is sitting down.
