1: How come youīre not performing all of the guitars on your upcoming album? Itīs your solo album!?
Johan Niemann, mostly known as a bass player, is an excellent guitarrist as well. I play some of the guitars to maintain my ideas, but by bringing in Johan, the album gets more interesting.

 

2: What about Mindīs Eye now that youīre going solo?
Iīm no longer a member of Mindīs Eye, and itīs time to move on. My solo ambitions and House Of Shakira are keeping me busy.

 

3: Did your participation in the TV-show Fame Factory have any spin-off effects, and what do you think of those kind of programs?
Observing reality-TV production from the inside was really interesting for me, since I used to study media and journalism before. Iīm a bit hesitant to those kind of shows since they exploit and use up talents in a very cynical way, but after the first audition I couldn't resist the temptation to see how far I could go... .

 

4: Whatīs with the title of the new album Novakation?
Well, I had no vacation the last few years - at least not mentally. Combined with my last name, it sort of has a cool vibe to it...like Californication or something...

 

5: What's your favourite color?
Blue.

 

6: Why canīt you just give me a copy your new album on a CD-R? Or maybe Iīll download it?
Well, the album demanded about twelve months of hard work. That effort is now available in a small packet for about 15 bucks. I think thatīs a fair price considering all the work behind it. If you donīt like it, Iīll personally give you your money back - and a beer.

 

7: Will there be a third Andreas Novak-album?
Most likely. I have ideas for 6 new songs already,but some of them might suit House of Shakira of course. That's where I'll be. Check latest news...
