Interview extract from the Island news paper (November 2000)

Bathiya and Santhush are top of the pops in Sri Lanka at the moment. So we thought we’ll do an interview with this famous duo. And what we publish today is courtesy of the Millennium Teens of Groovy City.

• How did you meet? We first met at a scout camp in 1999 and then again at Mary & David School of Music where we sang together for three to four years.

• When are your birthdays? Santhush (Septembr 5) and Bathiya (December 22).

• Did you have plans of becoming famous? Santhush: No, it just happened. Bathiya: It’s a miracle. I had dreams, but I never thought it would happen.

• Now that you have stormed Sri Lanka with some excellent music, how about the international scene? Definitely, we want to take it out and keep it Sri Lankan.

• Do you work better under pressure? Santhush: It doesn’t make any difference. I’m a guy who could take a lot of pressure. Bathiya: I work better under pressure.

• Now that you’re famous, do you still move around with your old friends? Santhush: Definitely — they are precious. Bathiya: When you are famous, you start to appreciate your old buddies.

• What are your happiest memories of the past few years? Santhush: It was this concert at St. Joseph’s College auditorium where around 4000 people were dancing to our music with so much passion and unity. There was also a concert in Kandy where the whole crowd went into a trance-like ‘let’s party...’ Bathiya: When I walked into Sony Music and MTV in India.

• What’s your favourite outfit on stage? Santhush: I like the crazy staff. Bathiya: I used to wear this tight black shirt, but now I’m crazy over this long cream coat, with black shirt and pants.

• What is the reaction you get from the teenagers when you perform for "Teen Disc?" They make us feel great.

• Your most embarassing mom-ent? Santhush: I was on stage and my zip was down. I didn’t know about it. Bathiya: It was a live telecast and I was standing in front of thousands of people. Something was wrong with the equipment and I was so excited that I couldn’t sing.

• What’s your favourite food? Santhush: Chinese. Bathiya: Korean.

• Your favourite shopping mall? No particular place.

• Are you planning to get married? Santhush: I’m only 23, so what’s the hurry. Bathiya: I’m 23. Perhaps I will think about it when I’m 27 or 28.

• What kind of a girl would you fancy? Santhush: One who is caring, understanding and loving. Bathiya: A professional person who should be a homely-type of a girl who can take care of me ‘cos I don’t take care of myself because of my work. And she should be nice to me.

• What about your present love life? Santhush: With all this hard work, I have no time for love, but hopefully it should turn out to be good. Bathiya: I’m not going steady at the moment because of my work, but if I do come across someone nice, I wouldn’t mind.

• What’s your musical ambition? Taking our music to the world.

• Are you working on another album? We have plans for a new release in the year 2001 or 2002. Till then, we will have a remake of our two albums with its remixers.

Show Vision will be giving away 10 copies of the duo’s album "Life", in audio cassette form, in a competition. Watchout for details.
