Define your genre in five words or less:
Elegant mesmerising alternative folk rock.
How long have you been gigging and writing?
I’ve been in bands since I was about 15, but I only started the Mcrobin project 12 months ago. I’ve been playing solo pretty constantly since then, but the EP Launch will be the first gig with a full band.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
The music and movies that I’m exposed to influence my music a lot. Most of my own songs are written somewhere in the euphoric period immediately following a great gig, the first listen of a new album, or after watching an outstanding film.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
I’d like to think that a band has to earn their place over a long period of time to have long lasting success. I’m not a fan of the overnight success story.
Do you have any record releases to date? What? Where can I get it?
I released a single last year called Waiting For The Rain and in the last month I’ve released two singles from the upcoming Fault Lines EP. They’re all available on my Bandcamp as well as Spotify, iTunes etc.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
Fleetwood Mac, Jeff Buckley, Sufjan Stevens, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. If this sentence does anything for you then you should definitely come to the gig.
MCROBIN launches the Fault Lines EP on Sunday July 12 at The Evelyn, as part of Leaps & Bounds Festival. Support comes from Liv Cartledge, Alma Kalorama and DASH. It all kicks off at 2pm.
