Another Day
Corkskrew are 3 guys and a girl from Malta playing a mix of guitar orientated electronica... The band has been active on the Maltese scene for the last four years and has released there debut album in June 2002 entitled 'Micromania'.
Diane's warm and melodic voice is backed by power chords, loops, and keyboards but real bass and drums still feature as the most important component of the rythim section. The other members are Lincoln (guitars/keys), Franco (Drums) and Cliff (Bass)

Why this name?
For want of a better option. After some time looking for a name you tend to tire out and settle for what ever comes next.
Do you play live?
Allot. To date we must have performed close to 200 gigs, all of them in Malta. Getting dizzy here, need to go gig somewhere else now!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes more music accessable to everybody. The challenges of how to get noticed still remain and if anythings have become bigger problems to takle by unsigned artists. Getting attention is the strong point of the industry as we know it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes becuase it would releive us from allot of tasks that we are not very good at doing.
Band History:
The band was fromed in 1997 by Cliff and Franco. They soon hooked up with Shawn on guitars who later introduced Diane who had never sung in a band or in public before. After doing all classic covers and giging as a covers band they realised that writing original material was more inteesting. They recorded their firs promo single called 'Jumping Genes' whinch hit the Maltese charts and have since never looked back.
Other band members came and left until Lincoln joined in 1999 bringing keybords to the band as a permanent fixture. Shawn left the band in 2001.

Your influences?
Garabge, Depeche Mode and any decent act out there.
Favorite spot?
Malta of course...!
Equipment used:
Lincoln uses a Korg Triton and a Nord Lead 3. "I keep it quite simple to challenge myself into making the best use of my gear" he says. In reality he can't really afford new stuff.
