Define your genre in five words or less:
Electro rock.
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?
They jump off their stool and shout at them, “Bang your head. Shake your thing. Lose your mind. All of this happens when you watch DevilMonkey. Go now to see them.”
How long have you been gigging and writing?
Close to two years of gigging and an extra year of writing.
What has been your favourite gig you’ve played to date?
They’re all ace. Playing with each other and everyone we’ve played with has been totally sick. Smashfest at the Brunny was mega fun.
Which band would you most like to have a battle/showdown with?
Blackbreaks. We’re doing it State of Origin style.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
Life, family, Killing Joke.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
Work, write, play as much as possible. Try to be nice, but play rough if you have to.
Do you have any record releases to date? What? Where can I get it?
We have an earlier EP available through Bandcamp called Psychonaut. We’ve also had tracks included on various comps.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
Because we want to play with all of their heads.
DEVILMONKEY play Friday September 4 at The Brunswick Hotel.
