Define your genre in five words or less:
Garage/alternative/blues.
So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you… what do they say?
“My ears hurt and I’m slightly aroused. These guys are pretty cool.”
How long have you been gigging and writing?
We got together in May this year and started writing straight away. We had our debut gig in August once we thought we were ready.
What has been your favourite gig you’ve played to date?
We played a big promo show at Melbourne Pavilion, which was cool but playing an intimate show at the bar on Swinburne’s Hawthorn campus was a lot of fun and a lot of laughs.
Which band would you most like to have a battle/showdown with?
The Murlocs (we hope you’re reading).
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
I guess if we really knew we’d be successful, but featuring in Beat certainly helps.
Do you have any record releases to date? What? Where can I get it?
So far we’ve just got some demos up on Soundcloud, but we’re working on getting an EP out there next year.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
Good tunes, good vibes, good times.
BAREFOOT SPACEMAN are playing at the Brunswick Hotel on Thursday December 3.
