Venezuelan alt-funk band Los Amigos Invisibles is constantly on the road playing their danceable Latin jams but does lead singer Julio Briceño ever get some love while on tour? Well…he definitely gets some from his band mates.
Julio chats with NocheLatina and sort of answers our most desired questions.
What do you love to eat while on the tour?
Thai food
Which band member snores?
In the beginning it was just Armando (keyboards) and Cheo (guitars) but nowadays, everybody snores.
How often do you actually get laid while on tour?
Excuse me...I didn't copy. What's the question again? You know these cell phones...
Darn cell phones! On that note….what are your favorite things to buy as you go to different cities?
I don't buy that much, but when I do, it's always records, books or clothes.
If you had to, or you might already, share a bed with one of your band mates who would that be?
I don't have any problem with sharing my bed with any of LAI members but... I'll need earplugs for that. Otherwise, I'd rather sleep on the floor.
Do you get to watch your favorite TV shows, or catch movies while you are on the road?
I don't get the time to watch TV while I'm on the road but I listen to my iPod a lot…so I can give you my favorites records right now: LCD Soundsystem, Zoe, The Knife.
What are your favorite websites?
Supertanga and MySpace
Are you a vegetarian or a meat eater?
Meat eater
Who do you think is sexier Penelope Cruz or Jessica Alba?
Penelope, I love Spanish girls.
If you could have lunch with any dead musician who would it be?
John Lennon
