Heya,

I'm interviewing The Pillows next week, and since they have a lot of fans around here, I would like to know if y'all have any questions for them. If you do, please post them here before Tuesday at noon. Thanks!

They sound a bit like the Scottish band "The Silencers" spiced with a pinch of early "Led Zepplin". Not bad really.
So what, or who, is their inspiration?

Hmm... I always thought that I detected a bit of Pink Floyd in the mixture. But maybe that's just me...

Do they watch any anime? How did they approach the FLCL soundtrack?

Did they see FLCL, and fully understood it? Cool

In one of their Japanese PVs, they have and old-fashioned style cruiser car with a sheep costume made over it. A friend and I have affectionately dubbed it "The Sheep Mobile". XD Does The Pillows still have their Sheep Mobile, or was it destroyed over the filming was finished? Was it fun to drive?
