The illusivefish-interview

Name: Nick Hunter

Band name: Theillusivefish 

Is that a meaning to the band name? 

The name is a username I created when I was 12 (20 years ago), I’ve used it in various forms over the years and my Instagram was one of them when I set it up. It’s a combination of me trying to be cool and trying to own the fact some of the kids at school called me “fish lips” 

How long have you been playing?

 I first picked up a bass when I was about 12/13 

.

What music means to you? 

Freedom and a way to send a message and connect with people, and just a way to have a damn good time.

.

In one of the songs you say is something that I need to do, is that a meaning to that? Like a purpose? 

I’ve never really been able to get away from the fact that fundamentally I want to be a gigging and touring musician playing my own songs. It’s like this thing inside me I have to feed. I can’t not do this. I also want to use my music as a platform to support others and bring other artists up of I ever get that far, give other musicians the opportunities I wish I could have now. For example, if I’m ever able to do a headline tour I would want the opening act to be an unheard band I’ve come across and like to put them in front of as many people as possible.

.

What are some of your favorite bands that have most influence in your songs? 

I like a lot of bands and artists but if I had to make a short list, Jamie Lenman, Tool, Porcupine Tree, Muse, Nirvana, system of a down, David Bowie. 

What touches your soul?

Other showing others kindness and wanting nothing for it. Be it to/from animals or people.

. 

Where can we find your songs? 

Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon music.

.

Anything you would like to add? 

I have a gig in London 23rd sept, details on my Instagram and various other social media platforms! Also looking for any gigs in London/kent/East Sussex areas!

Episode 5: Conspiracy goals

Is not just because is a conspiracy, that we don’t have goals. I say we, because this conspiracy involves so much. I wasted 33 years of feeling shame, guilt, judgment and fear. It took me 3 innerchild revolutions to figure this out.

Now, I have so much creativity that I need to organize the band. Almost like Ironman training. In fact, now I have a schedule. Because if not the energy gets stuck. However, the more I do the more empowered I feel. So, here it is my conspiracy goals, after all, I am an ironman and I am my own super hero.

Episode 1: The dream is true.

My book is all about dreams. There are 2 dreams but I also have quite a few other dreams. Some are day dreams some are night dreams. During the writing process of my I came a cross with a lot of coincidences. Some of those come coincidences have to do with theories that I have never even heard before.

Having said that, I been having this idea of doing a solo sitcom about my spiritual theory. Which is my band, a one man band. A conspiracy of one. The band is where the character, Darth Rirou (me), feels finally whole and worth it.

After I finished writing my book I came acroos with the native American beliefs that dreams can guide a soul. And that we have 3 souls. When I started my music protect, I wanted a band as a trio, because I had 3 major crisis in life. Looking at how my life turned out, that is quite interesting.

Anyways, based on that I started my sitcom, which is basically the rehearsals of my 3 souls. Here is the first episode. Btw it’s all based on a true story. My book.
