http://www.upthedownstair.net/2007/02/harvee.html Being a weeklie podcaste from Madison, Wisconsin featuring several remarkable curiosities therein occurring being a compendium of live music from divers artistes Thu, 12 Apr 2012 12:25:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 http://www.upthedownstair.net/2007/02/harvee.html#comment-307 Anonymous Fri, 02 Feb 2007 22:54:44 +0000 tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14036982.post-7291221417632012982#comment-307 hey, philip here from Harvee.<br />The reason why we sent you an email is because I personnally venture on your blog in the middle of the night.<br />Thank you for the feature by the way!!!<br />To answer your question, it is strange being born francophones and sing in english. Even though I'd like to say most people don't care, it's in fact not exactly the truth. I think there is definetly some kind of rejection made by some people as soon as they know we're not anglophones. Fortunately, it's not always the case. We are now "friends" with anglo bands and I do believe they don't care about the language but do only care about the music, wich is in fact, the only important thing to us. The next question to pop in your head must be : why choose to sing in english ? <br />The answer is both simple and complicated. First, we didn't choose to sing in english. More than 4 years ago when we first played together it wasn't really serious and was much more about exploration and having a good time(well...this is still the case but you know...it's different)So for us, having only listened to anglo music from all around the world, the only references we could relate to were in english.<br />So it was in fact more an artistic driven "decision" or impulse you will.<br />I hope it answers your question.<br />philip<br />harvee hey, philip here from Harvee.

To answer your question, it is strange being born francophones and sing in english. Even though I’d like to say most people don’t care, it’s in fact not exactly the truth. I think there is definetly some kind of rejection made by some people as soon as they know we’re not anglophones. Fortunately, it’s not always the case. We are now “friends” with anglo bands and I do believe they don’t care about the language but do only care about the music, wich is in fact, the only important thing to us. The next question to pop in your head must be : why choose to sing in english ?

So it was in fact more an artistic driven “decision” or impulse you will.
I hope it answers your question.
