Name - Miss Sonya Lemora

Birthday - 13th February

Height - 5’9½” in socked feet – otherwise it depend which boots I’m wearing.

Weight - As if I’m gonna tell. More than Twinkle and that’s for sure.

Eye colour - Brown

Instrument played - Shiny, tinkly keys. Oh, and I press Larry’s buttons live.

How would you describe yourself? - With three boys as the remainder of the band I guess my Lemora self is a spiralling combination of mum, totty and kid sister. Otherwise, I’m a bit immature but not as much as them. Fairly loving, hideously over-sensitive but up for a larf.

Do you care about how you are perceived? - Unfortunately I think I care too much, resulting in paranoia far too frequently, despite wishing for (and trying desperately to give) a “don’t give a fuck” attitude.

What was your most embarrassing experience? - Seem to have a few too many…sprawling myself face down across a main road when trying to flirt back to a carful of over-zealous young men. Appearing across Screen 1 when getting in the way of the projector when working in a cinema, wearing a whit g-string under black linen trousers at a club with extensive UV lighting. I could go on all day, as could my folks. I’m accident prone, especially when drunk so we could be here a while…

What was your most frightening experience? - Simple, being mugged at knifepoint.

What do you most like? - According to Swifty “fluffy, useless things”, however, he’s not on my list, I’d have to be soft and say my boyfriend, cats, Lemora and what we’ve created and Pick’n’Mix.

What do you most dislike? - Fake people, cruelty, dishonesty, tomatoes in sandwiches cos it makes the bread soggy. Throwing up uncontrollably.

What do you find most annoying? - The excessive wind the rest of the band seem to have (exempting Twinkle from this). Putting my finger through brand new tights.

What newspapers do you read? - Being the classy chick I am, it varies between The Sun and The Mirror. Guardian on Monday for jobs but I’m more of a magazine reader.

What qualities do you look for in the opposite sex? - Ability to love, compassion, friendship, humour, trust, affection and a gorgeous smile (awwww)

What’s your sexual fetish? - Now THAT would be telling *blush*

Who do you fancy? - Blimey, well, obviously my beloved. Johnny Depp, HIM, Brett Anderson circa 1994, David Bowie, Stuart Townsend in ‘Queen of the Damned’, Marc Bolan (before death)…oh and obviously the 3 remaining Lemoras…

Do you believe in God? - No. There’s too much destruction for there to be a divine being “watching over us”. He’s obviously blind if there is.

Do you believe in life after death? - Sometimes. The marks you leave behind on the world live on after your death and realistically that’s about it. However, I’d like to believe but only if it’s nice.

If there was one band or artist who inspired you to make music who would that be? - No can do. There are simply too many. I guess Bowie would be the cliché but Suede influenced me at an important time in my youth, then there are classical composers too but band wise there are simply too many!

Who are your favourite bands? - !!!Suede, Strangelove, Sisters, Cure, NIN, Marilyn Manson, Hanoi Rocks, Hardcore Superstars, HIM, The Damned, T.Rex, Murderdolls, Muse, Tyla, Lords of the New Church, Backyard Babies, Snog, depeche Mode, Adam and The Ants, probably still Skid Row if pushed (dodgy teenage years). Next..

What do you think is the greatest single of all time? - Now you’re having a laugh. The Ketchup Song (I’m joking)

Who are your favourite musicians? - David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Matt Bellamy from Muse is a fantastic pianist, Patrick Duff from Strangelove is a fantastic songwriter, as is Tyla (Dogs D’amour) strangely. Oh I don’t know, Rachmaninoff wrote a fantastic piano prelude and Dvorak’s cello concerto pisses on Elgars. My favourite musicians are a whole separate website…I give up.

Who are your favourite authors/writers? - Well, I love crazy comics – so anything sick in the head that Roman Dirge or Jhonen Vasquez creates is a must. I love the scribblings of modern musicologists/culturalists such as John Savage or John Robb but when it comes to ‘stories’ it could be ANYONE, whatever I’m enjoying at the time.

What was the last book you read? - “Reach for the Ground – The downward struggle of Jeffery Bernard” Natch.

What are your favourite films? - Most things Manga (Black Jack, Vampire Hunter D etc..), The Crow, Audition, Lord of the Rings, Bladerunner, Velvet Goldmine, Edward Scissorhands, Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Lost Boys, Faster Pussycat Kill Kill, City of the Lost Children, Wild at Heart, Tommy. Good Heavens there’s a million more.

Who are your favourite actors? - Johnny Depp, That guy from American Beauty –Kevin Spacey is it? He’s quite good. Jack Nicholson is always good. I thought the casting for ‘Lord of the Rings’ was perfect bout I doubt that counts. I don’t know, I’m not good with actors.

Who are you favourite film directors? - Certainly Tim Burton, the man’s fantastic, I think I own all his films. Dario Argento is good for the cult scary stuff. Peter Jackson (regardless of Lord of the Rings, Braindead was ace!). the usual weird shit from Cronenberg, Kubrick and Lynch is always worth a watch.

What is your favourite TV programme? - Twinkie has hooked me on Spaced and Black Books. I’m obsessed by 24, especially series 2 and enjoy stuff like Never Mind the Buzzcocks/Shooting Stars et al, and Scrubs. Oh, and sorry, but Eastenders still rocks.

What was the best play or show you have ever seen? - Franko B – “Oh Lover Boy”. Contemporary performance artist, not to be seen by the squeamish, trust me.

Who are your favourite comedians? - Easy peasy. Eddie Izzard is the God of funny. Lenny Bruce was a genius and Bill Bailey is hysterical, a sweetie AND plays keyboards. If I think too hard I’ll end up with too many again so I’m stopping.

What do you think is the UK’s finest landmark? - Absolutely no idea…The Ship in Kennington.

What is your favourite food? - Thai Thai Thai Thai Thai Thai Thai. Anything seafoody. Pick’n’Mix (again)

What is your favourite drink? - Jack Daniels and Coke (but not too much coke), no ice. Or a nice red wine. Or, to be honest, a good cuppa cha (that’s tea..)

What do you most regret? - Getting stuck in a dead-end office job and wasting two years of my life. Being a corporate whore sucks.

If you found a wallet stuffed with fifty pound notes, would you hand it in? - If I saw who dropped it. Yes. Otherwise I would like to think so but when put to the test; well if someone wants to give it a go, I promise the beers are on me. It’s a hard call.

If you could give anyone any advice at all, what would it be? - Don’t sleep with cuddly toys that make noises when you squeeze them, they will terrify you in your sleep.
