Faust - Interview with Jean-Hervé Peron

(Excerpt)
Why the name Faust?
'It is German for "fist" which is a symbol for revolution which is what we thought we were part of ... and maybe we were too :) Also it is the name of a work by Goethe where a man sells his soul to obtain what he longs for...and this what we were doing : selling our souls to the music industry in order to do the music we wanted to.'

I will be catching both the Faust gig as part of the International Jazz Fest here in Melbourne and also the talk with J-HP the following day where I hope to at least present J-HP with an 'Exile On Moan Street' badge as I know he is reader of this blog.
The talk is free but bookings are essential.
