The Castellers Q&A


Your name:
Russell Luke Robertson.

Where are you from?
Merseyside (now based in Sheffield).

Name of band:
The Castellers.

Who else is in your band?
Ryan Healey (Vocals)
Paul Patterson (Drums)
Ali Morretti (Bass)
Russell Roberston (Guitar, Keys)

How would you describe yourselves?
A British RocknRoll band with penchant for 60s Mod, garage & psychedelia. 

Who are your main influences musically?
The Doors, The Kinks, Ennio Morricone, The Who, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Byrds, The Small Faces, The Seeds, The Coral.

What do you hope to achieve in music?
To deliver for the purists. To gig, tour and record for those with a musically enlightened soul... that and a supply of money, drugs & women.

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Performing at a 60s night called The Beat Club run by Mani (The Stone Roses). A hero of ours, was a particularly good night, top geezer. 

And what’s the moment you want to forget?
Getting banned from our first rehearsal room back in Merseyside. We had a fantastic set up, no charge and it happened to be the only decent live venue in the town. However, the outlandish behaviour from several members of the band well and truly blew that one for us. 

If you could choose just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
'Five Days Time'. We only have a few tracks recorded so far but it's a psychedelic circus waltz on acid, what more do you want?  

Where can we listen to it?

Where can we find out more about your music?

Anything else you’d like to say about your band that I forgot to ask?
Just that we are a massively ambitious band and we genuinely appreciate what support we get. All unsigned bands/artists need that love and are nothing without it.
