Brainlove Festival: Napoleon IIIrd

Napoleon IIIrd should be no stranger to anybody thinking of heading to this weekend’s Brainlove Festival. Appearing there for a few consecutive years now, he’s become somewhat of a fest veteran. A bill staple, if you will. Like the beer that holds everyone together on the day.

But if you haven’t been able to catch the LDN-based electronic maestro yet, do check him out at this Saturday’s event. Here’s what he had to say when we threw a few questions at him:

Could you introduce a little about yourself to those somehow not acquainted yet?
Hello, I am Napoleon IIIrd, the musician, producer and coffee enthusiast. I moved down to London last year and am working on my follow up to 2010’s critically aclaimed album, ‘Christiania’. I also like fish.

For people who haven’t seen you live before, what can they expect?
Drones, loud bass, dancing, shouting, reverb, guitars, drums, tuna.

How many times have you played or even been to the Brainlove Festival?
Once or twice or thrice.

What do you think makes it unique?
It’s a day of the unexpected, there are constant surprises and the veggie burgers are always cold.

Who are you excited about seeing live?
Loads of people! Especially AK-DK, they will probably be playing with me too.

How do you find festivals compared to normal live shows?
I love festivals. Especially when there is Cider.

Do you enjoy the prospect of people that necessarily aren’t that familiar with your music getting the chance to stumble upon you?
That’s how I generally work anyway, so most certainly. I am very much looking forward to it.

Brainlove Festival takes place at Brixton’s Windmill this coming Saturday (26th May).
