Define your genre in five words or less:
Whiskey-soaked occult rock’n’roll.
What has been your favourite gig you’ve played to date?
Our EP launch in January. It was a hot steamy Friday night in Adelaide. We had a capacity crowd of over 240 people, which is great for an Adelaide lineup. It was a huge, sweaty, hazy party with lasers and smoke machines; it was such a crazy night that rolled on into morning.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
Having so many different influences around us definitely helps create the sound we are working towards. We’re all in other bands who’s genres vary from funk to reggae to doom, so having that bleeds into our creative process and help shape what we are trying to do .
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
Depends on what your measure of success is. If success is money and fame, then to succeed, you need to be a radio friendly Miley Cyrus cover band, but if success is playing good shows, and sharing a good time with some people, then it’s being a part of this community and supporting its genuine love for music.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
It’s an intense 45 minutes of high energy sweaty rock’n’roll, coupled with hazy doomed grooves and three-guitar wall of riffs, and six guys on stage means chaos.
Catch CRYPT at The Public Bar on Friday April 10 and The Brunswick Hotel on Saturday April 11.
