Seven Questions In Heaven With Hannah Fairchild (Hannah vs. The Many)
We featured Hannah vs. The Many's "Muse" as our Song Of The Day back in November. With a new album, All Our Heroes Drank Here, coming out on Tuesday, we thought it might be time to get to know her a little better.
Describe your music for our readers who may not be familiar with you.
It's a musical theater take on punk. Or a punk take on musical theater. The cultural eras that I find most fascinating are the 1920s literary scene and the 1970s punk scene. Someday I will perfect the hybrid and emerge as a glam flapper.
Who are your musical influences and idols?
The first music I remember being introduced to was Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush (by my dad) and Different Light by the Bangles (by my mom). I spent my teens listening to a bizarre mix of Top 40 pop songs and Broadway flops. When I got into the indie music scene in college, I realized that bands like Rilo Kiley, Bright Eyes and The Decemberists were writing rock songs that were as smart and weird as the musicals I loved most. Best of both worlds!
What was the first album, cassette, or CD you bought with your own money? Cassette: Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt. CD: I actually can't remember. It was either the original Broadway cast recording of something or a Matchbox 20 album, whichever is less embarrassing. The first vinyl I ever bought was an original copy of Court And Spark, which is still my favorite Joni Mitchell album.
