How many times have you seen ESMZ live? When and where? Describe your experience(s).
“I’ve seen them twice. Both times in July 2013 at the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover Tour. Once in London and once in Lewes. It was simply amazing. I really enjoyed their music before, but once I’ve seen them live, I was addicted to them! I had so much fun, and I couldn’t wait for the second time! I think I’ve never seen a band/artist having and causing so much fun on stage! I didn’t want it to stop, and I can’t wait for the next time!”

How has ESMZ influenced your life?
“I always listen to them when I’m happy and want to enjoy that feeling or when I’m sad and don’t want to be sad anymore. Their music always helps causing those feelings!”

Favorite ESMZ song(s)?
“Brother, Life is Hard, Man on Fire, Janglin, Up from Below”

Additional notes, comments, favorite ESMZ stories, etc.:
“During my aupair year in London I had to watch a newborn baby who cried a lot. I figured out that when I was singing Man on Fire to him, he slowly calmed down. Already good taste in music!”
