Diana Anaid Interview (2010)

GQ:  Hi Diana, how are you today?

DA:  Fantastic, thank you!

GQ:  It’s now been about 6 years since your last studio album, Beautiful Obscene, so how is it to be back in the studio?

DA:  It’s fantastic to get back on the road with the new tunes, I can’t tell you.  I’m loving playing with the band …

GQ:   This is the first album Craig (Latham, bass player) has played on, isn’t it?

DA:  Absolutely, yeah.  Craig’s on a few of the tracks, not that many, but he’s having a shot at it, haha!  We started recording with him, then he got called away for Uni, but we finished the record, and I added a few new tracks since then, including some that aren’t on the record, did the album cover, but Craig’s really excited about it all.  He’s been working on the songs, and rehearsing them with us, and looking forward to coming down for the millionth time.

GQ:  On the new album, you do a cover of “What’s Up”.  Have you had any feedback from Linda Perry about it?

DA:  It’s really weird actually, cos she really loved my song “Last Thing” from Beautiful Obscene, and she wanted to do some songwriting with me, which I was so incredibly touched about, and just honoured that she would even like any of my songs, but that never actually eventuated, and I do know people who work with her, and I’ve asked them to PLEASE show her this version that I’ve recorded, and they said they will, but we’re talking about an incredibly busy woman, and she probably costs like $100,000 an hour or something to sit with, so I haven’t heard back from her yet, but all my friends and fans seem to love it, and say that it really rocks and I’ve done it justice, so that’s cool.

GQ:  When I first heard it, that was on your tour from last October, and I was like “wow”, and I was so glad when I found out it was going to be on the album.

DA:  I know, and it’s the first cover I’ve ever recorded, and it’s definitely a hats off and kudos to Linda Perry, who I absolutely dig and love as a songwriter.  I love what she did for James Blunt and Pink, so thumbs up, she’s amazing.  This is definitely my way of giving her kudos.  I mean, we just performed it at the Caxton St Seafood and Wine Festival in Brisbane, just to kick off the tour, and the crowd loved it, like, there was I Go Off, and then that song, and it was just so cool.

GQ:  The new album is quite different to your previous albums, and you sound more empowered now.  What made you take that direction with your writing?

DA:  I think it’s definitely a factor that it’s now been over a decade that I’ve been in the industry, and done a few records.  I’ve done a lot of exposé’s, a lot of soul-searching  interviews where people have gotten to know a little bit about me, but this record is letting people know a little bit more.  My son’s gotten older, so I feel like I can be less censored now, and so they’re more personal lyrics.  It has been over 10 years, so I want people to know I’m the sort of person you can relate to, and have as a part of your life, and to show that I’ve gone through hard things, so, if I can make it through it, then you can as well.

GQ:  That’s what I love about songwriting, when people can relate to you, even when the subject you wrote about is totally different to what the listener is thinking of.

DA:  Oh, definitely, and that’s where music got me from the very first day that I can remember.  I was like 4 or 5, and the radio was telling such important stories in the songs, and I was motherless, and when I was like 4 or 5, he was already in gaol, so I was in a foster home, and sometimes the radio held some very powerful, emotive moments that took me through difficult parts of my life, and I know that happens to so many people, and that’s why I got into music in the first place, so I can try to make a difference to people that don’t have it easy.

GQ:  Yeah, that’s for sure.  One of the songs on your album, Trophy Wife, talks about being an LA trophy wife.  What’s the meaning behind that particular song?  Would you ever move to LA?

DA:  Well, in LA, you see a lot of elderly ladies who look like they’re in their early 20’s, and they’ve had a lot of work done, and I don’t think they even have a day job, it’s like their job is just to make themselves look pretty.  Like, they’re old, but they’ve got the plumped up lips, and the blonde hair, and no weight on their body, so they probably don’t even eat.  They’ve obviously got a Mafia boyfriend or Italian boyfriend, or something there to make it worth hanging in for, and actually making that change worth it.  I’m talking about those thin, blonde, pouted-up-with-collagen, plastic surgery, and just really plastic people that you find in LA.  They’re not all around America, it’s just in LA.  We have them in Australia too, up in the Gold Coast.  It’s just a strange thing that’s funny to see, and I thought it’d be funny to write about.

GQ:  There’s a few songs coming out now that are quite cynical about “plastic people” …

DA:  I think there was definitely a period in LA where famous people and beautiful people, even fake songwriters were quite respected and loved, and but when you dig beneath the surface, which is what people are doing these days, you really wanna get back to the basis of it all, and that’s what I’m getting at when I say I was born in the wrong time.  When you look at Woodstock and the ‘60’s, the whole thing with those musicians is they were out there trying to make a change.  I mean, I don’t think Paris Hilton is out there trying to make a change, and I don’t think she should be releasing a record.

GQ:  Haha!  I think a lot of people might agree with you there.   Random question for you: with all your records, if you had to choose just one song to keep as your own, which would it be and why?

DA:  Ooh, well, when I was really little, I wrote this song called “Sent By A Dove Was Love”.  Of course, the dove symbolised peace, so it was like a reference to that, and I realised, after writing that song, it wasn’t the best rhyme I could do to illustrate what I was trying to say.  If I hadn’t written that song, I would never have realised that the best way to say things is really “I go off, and if you don’t believe that, I’ll go off right here, right now.”  Very simple, haha!

GQ:  And that’s probably one of your best known songs too!

DA:  Exactly!  And “we’ll have a dog instead of a kid, we’ll be the perfect family” .  Now, my kid is almost 17, so that’s another one of my best lyrics, everyone relates to that lyric as well.

GQ:  Oh, I don’t know, the way my dog is acting at the moment, I’d happily swap!

DA:  That’s not nice, haha!  What about “it’s the last thing I need right now, no way, no boys allowed”?  You wouldn’t happen to relate to that one, would you?

GQ:  I can get in my moods with that, especially after 4 years …

DA:  Haha!  Nah, I couldn’t live without any of my songs.  The record label that signed me up in 97, Origin Records, the manager of that label loved my song Forola, and no one particularly knows that song, that’s why I called my record label Forola Music, because there was an emotional impact with that manager, and that was a beautiful thing, it’s great for someone to have a connection with a song.

GQ:  With Forola, that’s one of those songs that actually sounds better live than it does in the studio.  I heard it on the single for Don’t Believe In Love, I think it was…

DA:  I think that was the Live At The Wireless recording from Triple J.  That was a really special moment for us, because, as a band, we had an incredible night that night, and we really enjoyed playing the songs, and definitely came across perfectly, the way we wanted it to, so it probably does come across better live than on the recorded version.  To be honest, they have that touch and that connection with the audience that can only come across with less distance and more intimacy.

GQ:  That’s true, but even in terms of the music side, Forola came across more grungy live, which suited it more.

DA:  Oh sure, well that’s normal with a band that’s always half-pissed and lacking asleep.  You call that grunge music, I call that terrible, hopeless, bloody pathetic!

GQ:  Don’t forget, you’re talking about yourself here too, haha!

DA:  Oh yeah … no, I’m the only one that’s alive and awake and being fantastic.  But yeah, we do try to bring across a bit of grunge.  I mean, look at your (chat)name, “veruca_boi” … Veruca Salt, fucking PJ Harvey, Patti Smith, The Pixies, I mean, bring it back as far as you want, Jimi Hendrix … we’re definitely more into the grungy stuff than the pop or simple rock.

GQ:  Yeah, well there’s more emotion in distorted guitars …

DA:  There’s definitely more emotion in distorted guitars.  I mean, on our records, we layer our guitars, and this record that we’ve just put out is the least layered of all of them.  I’m a layer fan from way back, you know, 20 layers on each track on I Don’t Think I’m Pregnant … no I’m joking with you, but at least 10.

GQ:  Yeah, you can tell some of the songs are pretty heavily layered … but I guess one of your own songs that would definitely describe you would be Blaring Out …

DA:  Absolutely.  That’s the thing, I’ve always been loving my music loud, and opinionated people, different people, you know, rebels, people that are just trying to fuck with the trend of society, they’re definitely more interesting than the average run-of-the-mill person.

GQ:  Oh, I can so relate to you on that!  Now, from one guitarist to another, I have to ask: how many different tunings do you actually play with on your songs?

DA:  Hehe … well, I Go Off is CCCGCC, and then I Don’t Think I’m Pregnant is FCCGCC, then Love Song For A Girl is DADAAD, then Last Thing is EAC#AAE, and some of my other songs are EAEEBE, then Don’t Believe In Love and Make Me Change My Name are something else, then just go to straight Dropped-D and you get Perfect Family, Addiction, Blaring Out, Dumb Opinion, Fill Me Up, and a few others, then in standard tuning, you get What’s Up, Nothing Special, and a few others as well.  I used to carry around like 5 guitars on tour with me, and I still couldn’t do everyone’s favourites, but now I have an electronic guitar called the *insert name here* which I’ll show you when I come down, and it’s a fantastic guitar that can have 16 different tunings programmed into it, and I have 10 programmed in now, so in a 15 song set, I have 10 different tunings.

GQ:  At least now I can work out how to play them, now I have the tunings!

DA:  Well, keep checking out my website, cos next week I’ll be putting up the tablature for I Go Off, and I’ll be putting more up in the near future for the old songs, and some of the new songs over the next year while we’re promoting the new cd.  But I can say, with all honesty, I can play all my songs with flying colours at the moment, the band and I are so excited to be coming down to Melbourne, and the last two gigs we did in NSW were like a warm-up …  

GQ:  Haha, oh, I feel so special now!  So is Stone (Diana’s son) going to get into music, do you think?  Or just stick to the circus stuff?  Maybe you should bring him down to perform while you’re playing … possibly during Cynical On Waking?

DA:  Well, the show on the 15th is his 17th birthday, so I’ll be celebrating in my own way.  He’s really good at the circus stuff, and has performed at Splendour On The Grass, it’s his second performance as a juggler/circus performer, but he’s also a really good musician, he’s done some really fantastic performances, mainly with hip-hop, he’s a great spokesperson for hip-hop … no, I’m just joking.  He did a couple of really good hip-hop things when he was in school, but now he’s focussing on his HSC studies, so not a lot of time for music, he doesn’t want to drop out like his deadbeat mother did, he’s going to finish school.

GQ:  Well, I guess if he does decide to go into music, he has a label to go to!  Have you signed up any other artists with Forola Music yet?

DA:  I’ve got a couple of interested people, I’ve just got to bring in funds so I can promote them properly, but I’ve definitely had some REALLY good people send in their material wanting to sign up, but I’m still learning how to do it all myself.  I’ll be the guinea pig, give it a couple of records, and then hopefully I’ll be able to help other people, but yeah, there’s seriously some talented people out there.

GQ:  This is the 3rd disc you’ve released under the label so far, right?

DA:  The first one was Live At The Bush Theatre, and then there was Cheatin’ On Me, and now this album.  There was also the Cynical On Waking single, but that was digital only.

GQ:  Why isn’t Cheatin’ On Me on the album?

DA:  That was a special track.  It was more of an interim track between Beautiful Obscene and the new album, and when I release something like that, I don’t usually include it on the album that follows.  It’s the same as we did with Oh No in ’98, just an interim track between the debut and I Don’t Think I’m Pregnant, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be on a future release, cos I re-recorded Oh No for Beautiful Obscene, so a re-recording isn’t out of the question.  I LOVE that song, love the film clip, and really dig the tune, but this album was something different.  We recorded it in it’s entirety in 2 weeks, so we didn’t want to include anything old, we just wanted new tracks recorded in that session.

Diana Anaid – My Queen

Australian singer/songwriter Diana Anaid has released her most recent album to date titled “My Queen”. While she has been known as a folk artist to many, or folkie to some, her style is true all the way through. Like take for instance her debut single track “I Go Off”, released sometime ago, it holds up well even today.

Compared to the content upon this “My Queen”, release, you are offered a…

I Go Off

Every time anyone says any variation of “go off,” I get this song stuck in my head. It’s probably far from the first song most people would think of, but I’m a fan of obscure angry female singer-songwriters, and also Australians 😂

Turns out Google Play has TWO of her albums, and I’m totally stoked. I only own “Beautiful Obscene” because her other albums are harder to get a hold of. (Although I wish Play had Beautiful Obscene, because I don’t have a CD player in my car and I would love to listen to it.) edit:they totally have it, for some reason she has two artist files on Play. Maybe it's her American releases versus Australian releases lol

Diana Anaid to headline CFF 2015

Alternative rock singer-songwriter Diana Anaid is known for her powerful voice, soaring guitar solos and catchy songs. Having gained placement in the ARIA and Top 40 charts over her 20-year career, Diana has also headlined the Cruelty Free Festival several times. Back on the main stage at this year’s festival, Diana will strip things down, playing as one half of an acoustic duo. We spoke to her about her many influences, veganism, and upcoming performance at the CFF.

1) Can you name some of your biggest musical influences?

I am inspired by strong women musicians like Ani DiFranco, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin. I listen to hard rock and to soft folk, reggae and classical, heavy metal and spoken word, rap and hiphop and everything else. But I am most moved by the lyrics. I am moved when it is personal, touching, emotive, private, encouraging social or political change and thought provoking. I still think that The Beatles, Elvis and Madonna as well as Diana Ross, The Rolling Stones and Tina Turner as well as femme muses Alanis, Cyndi Lauper, Sinead and Tori, Fiona Apple, Chrissy Amphlet and Adalita are probably some of my biggest influences. I also love Pink, Olivia Newton John and anyone who has a go at following their dream – I respect that.

2) You’ve had a successful solo career in music and have performed at the CFF before. How does the CFF compare to other festivals and gigs?

The CFF is a great family day out, where you can learn a lot, eat a lot, and have a lot of fun. It’s safe and friendly and it’s very inclusive. Even if you are not vegan it is still a great day out. It is by far one of my favourite festivals to perform at, and to attend. It’s nice not to have to smell meat in the air. It’s nice to know that you are amongst like-minded people. In fact, if I were a single lady I would go there to meet cool people (read as: to pick up, haha).

3) You’ll be performing as a duo at the CFF. Who’ll be accompanying you and how are you feeling about it?

My long term guitarist and partner in crime Nathan Correy will be joining me on stage. When he joined the band he came from a heavy metal band and I was writing and performing folk songs, so we put our styles together to make a new edgy kind of hard-hitting, sort of alt-rock. It was 1999 when he joined the band and we haven’t looked back since. Some of my favourite songs from my albums have been co-written with him also. It’s great having him on stage with me as I feel more comfortable to have a little chat with the audience and it’s fun having that extra person to banter with on stage. When I first heard him play electric guitar I got tingles all up and down my spine and I just knew that I wanted to collaborate! He has put the magic into a few well known Aussie bands in his time, and I’m honoured to have him now in my group!

4) How long have you been vegan?

I stopped eating red meat at 11, white meat at 17 and went fully vegan in my early twenties. I’m proud to be making a difference to the planet by not eating animals or using their products. Compared to when I first went vegan there are now so many meat and dairy substitutes and great, easy-to-follow vegan recipes. There are also great fashion choices that are vegan friendly, and there is no need to wear leather or feathers and stuff like that – beauty and fashion should not include cruelty and murder. Also I think that a person’s inner beauty shines more easily through a vegetarian body. I really do.

5) Apart from a chance to perform, what is the CFF to you and why is it important?

It is a chance to gain new knowledge, to share information and to connect with like minds. Sometimes it takes a while for people to realise that they 1. Should become vegan 2. Can become vegan and 3. Will benefit their own health and the health of the planet by going vegan. The CFF helps to convince those who are still deciding whether to go vegan or not and it offers insightful information in an entertaining and inclusive way. The CFF is an integral part of the awakening of the Australian public about the importance of becoming vegan for our planet and for our own health ( taking some stress off our overloaded health care system). As veganism becomes more normal due to ailing health and/or increased compassion, it also becomes more encouraged and accepted. The CFF helps to normalise and encourage a vegan lifestyle, which is one one of the single most important things that a person can do in an effort to protect and conserve our planet and our resources.

Thank you so much for your time and amazing insight, Diana! We can’t wait to see you and Nathan perform on the day!
