Trust Interview

Teenage band Trust are some of the stars of the Junior Eurovision documentary Sounds Like Teen Spirit, where they represented their home country of Belgium. Trust members Eva Storme, Matthieu Renier, Laurens Platteeuw and Mirek Coutigny were recently in London playing a gig for the East End Film Festival, and they took a few minutes to chat with View’s Matthew Turner about playing their own songs in concert for the first time, their favourite parts of the film and their love (or lack of love) for Spinal Tap.

How did the gig go?
Mirek: It was great! It was our best gig ever.
Matthieu: The crowd were amazing!
Eva: It was also the first time we played our own songs in a concert.

The film says that you've recorded an album. Is that true?
Mirek: Yes, I think it's finished now.

How did you form the band?
Mirek: Well, me and Matthieu and Eva were all in the same class at school, so we started it in school and then Laurens just sort of invited himself into the band.
Laurens: It's true.

How many times have you seen the film now?
Eva: This was the second time, for all of us.

Did it make you cry?
Eva: Yes!

Did you cry more or less the second time?
Matthieu: More, I think.
Mirek: I was crying with laughter, because Laurens is so brilliantly stupid in it.

Do you have a favourite part of the film?
Matthieu: I think all the scenes with Laurens are so funny – they're all my favourites.

I gather you're all big Spinal Tap fans?
Laurens: Me, Mirek and Matthieu are – we love it. Eva hasn't seen it.
Eva: I've seen some of it. I don't like it as much as you do.

Are you still in touch with Giorgos, Mariam and Marina?
Laurens: Yes. We stay in touch via MSN chat. They are all doing well and they're very happy the film is coming out.
Eva: We are still in touch with Bab, too.

Eva, the film makes quite a lot of your search for “a cute boy”. Did you find one?
Eva: Yes, I did! He's here somewhere.

The film was made two years ago. Why don't any of you look any older?
Eva: I don't know. It's strange. I think we are just lucky.
