๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐: People think as you're a musician, you wake up in the morning, you're surrounded by groupies, you evict them of your bed and you make an injection in the eye and inspiration comes; you're on the roof watching the moon and poetry appears, nonsense. It's not the way it is, it is discipline like all the others, like a martial art, for instance. That's what interests me, this discipline. I think that people who say: << Oh.. I can't really work my art these days because I don't feel fine, I’m too scared >> I think it's weird. I'm in a constant creativity process. It doesn't necessarily means it's good, but even if it's sh*t, what's important is it's written. It's like a muscle you train as in gym. If you don't use it every day, you forget its existence, this muscle of creativity.

๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐: We've been in Cambodia in december 2008 to play a very special concert. We were in front of a 12th century Buddhist temple which is called Angkor Wat. We've been there because we're collaborating with a charity, MTV Exit. What we're trying to do together is essentially to stop human trafficking. There are at least 2.5 millions of people whenever, who are being trafficked; What attracted us to that charity in particular, MTV is efficient in the way it's talking directly to the most vulnerable people: teens, young adults, they are the most vulnerable to this kind of traffic. It's a true cause, we knew we could make the difference on the spot, that's why we take the effort to go to Cambodia to play this concert.

๐Since ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ mentions it in this interview, let's delve a little deeper into their trip to Cambodia.
The "๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐" directed by ๐น๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ and released exclusively on the ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ป๐๐ ๐บ๐๐ - ๐ณ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐บ๐๐ (2009) inmortalized ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐'s visit to this magical place that is ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐, as well as the border town of ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐, where a day before the concert, the band visited a women's shelter and met with people who have been rescued from human trafficking, an experience that ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ declared it was "devastating".

๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐ made a selection of songs that they considered appropriate for the occasion and made new arrangements that they rehearsed for three weeks before. In front of 1,200 people - mostly Cambodians who attended for free - that night also performed ๐ป๐๐ ๐ช๐๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐, ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐๐, ๐ฒ๐๐๐ ๐ด๐๐๐๐๐-๐ฏ๐๐๐ ๐๐ and some of Cambodia's most important artists, such as the hip-hop band ๐ท๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐. Then ๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐ took the stage and delighted the audience for 40 minutes with their music, playing an amazing semi-acoustic set.

That's what we can do as a rock band: Use our voice and our music to spread a message and say that this situation – slavery – it unacceptable, and that we can all do something to fight it. We are not politicians, we are not heads of police. We can just try to change people's minds and inspire them to act.
It might seem that what we’re doing here is a drop in the ocean but every drop helps."
