Fitness Forever aus Neapel sind beim geschmackssicheren spanischen Indiepop-Label Elefant Records unter Vertrag und dürften der zauberhafteste Pop-Export sein, den Italien derzeit zu bieten hat. Am 20. Juli spielt die Band um Songschreiber Carlos Valderrama im Schocken (zusammen mit Monsieur Mo Rio). Unsere Fragen hat Brezel-Fan Carlos netterweise vorab beantwortet.

A stage outfit has to be connected with the music you’re playing, I think every good band will find its perfect outfit naturally !!

Your favourite candy?
I don’t like much sweets, I prefer Bretzels!!!!

What would you be today if you had not become a pop star?
Pop Star who??? :D Anyway, the only thing I’m good at it’s music. I really can’t do anything else!! If forced, I would have liked to be a psychologist, I like to listen to people’s issues!

This one is too easy : GUITARS!!!

We can’t wait to learn more about your upcoming album “Cosmos”. What can we expect?
“Cosmos” is just the ideal follow up to “Personal Train”. Has much in common with our first record, but this one was very much inspired from the 70’s, in the same way the first one was inspired from the 60’s.
It still has that “Italian” feeling on it, but has the same melodic taste of “Personal Train”… I think it will be fun for who liked the first one!!!
