THE Internet might have turned Justin Bieber and Psy into pop stars overnight but for Greg Gonzalez, frontman and creative force behind indie dream pop band Cigarettes After Sex (CAS), it has taken slightly longer. Five years to be precise.
The El Paso singer-songwriter recorded and released CAS' first EP I. back in 2012 and nobody has heard of it until early this year when a track off it, Nothing's Gonna Hurt You Baby, suddenly raked up 50 million views on YouTube.
"It's a bit blurry, truth be told, and happened in a strange but natural way," says Gonzalez, in a phone interview ahead of the band's near-sold-out show in Singapore next Thursday.
