The Dø Interview

Dan Levy und Olivia Merilahti sind The Dø. Die Franzosen sind verrückt nach dem Duo, und nachdem das Album “A Mouthful” über ein Jahr später auch außerhalb Frankreichs erschienen ist, sind die beiden in aller Munde.

Wie im Titel angekündigt, habe ich hier ein kleines Interview mit The Dø, die Fragen könnten euch durchaus bekannt vorkommen, denn ursprünglich war ein Beitrag zu 15 + 1 Fragen geplant. Das mit den Fotos aus der Wohnung hat leider nicht geklappt, trotzdem wäre es schade, wenn das hier in meinem Posteingang verstauben würde.

Also, am besten ihr klickt bei dem Video zu “On My Shoulders” auf Play und lest die Antworten. Viel Spass.

Please take a moment to introduce yourself
