Joe Newman (Alt-J)The 2 Minute InterviewJoe Jerome Newman is in a band called delta, ummm sorry, Alt-J (!). Cause this is where the band name originally comes from – the british shortcut for the greek letter. You know this cute little triangle…sorry again kind of loosing it. Even more interesting is that Joe spends his nights sleeping naked, has the perfect joke to tell and would love to crossdress at least once while having a coffee and singing ‚Stand by me‘ with his dead cat. You know what!? This is all yours!
Name: Joe Jerome Newman Age: 28 Location: Leeds Occupation: Musician Favourite Place in Berlin: Anywhere with our dearest friend Michael Culme-Seymour. Contact: altjband.com |
