Define your genre in five words or less:
If-Nickleback-Were-Better (sorry Adam)
How long have you been gigging and writing?
Adam, Luc and I have been writing and playing live since year nine or something. Etta has been writing and playing punk music since she was in The Gingers way-back-when, and Jeff… well Jeff was born with a left handed Stratocaster in his grip.
What has been your favourite gig you’ve played to date?
We played a few shows with a rad country band from G-Troit called Murdena. At a couple of these shows the crowd of wild kids from the bush were all topless and crowd surfing and stuff.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
I am inspired by watching my friends live through various experiences, good or bad, and reflecting on the journey as a whole.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
I think you need to come across as if the good shit just slides right out of you – all you do is relax and catch it in a bag.
Do you have any record releases to date? What? Where can I get it?
We released an EP in 2012 and a 7″ double A-side single in 2014, which are both available for free download on our BandCamp.
Catch CLOSET STRAIGHTS launching their new single ZADIE at The Workers Club on Friday May 29 with support from Bobby Brave and Big Smoke.
