Hello Mojo Juju. What are you doing at AWME 2015?
My band and I will be playing a set at Max Watt’s on Thursday November 12 for the opening night of AWME. There is an absolutely killer lineup that night too. Emma Donovan & The Putbacks will be there, and they’re one of my favourite bands right now.
What do you think is unique about AWME and its role in cultivating Australian music?
It’s important for staying up to date with what is happening locally and globally. It’s such a great event that facilitates contact between likeminded people who often live on opposite sides of the country if not the world.
What can punters expect from the atmosphere of AWME and from your show?
I’m thinking it might be a bit of an emotional journey. You know, I love dynamics. There’s going to be a lot of high-energy, fun tunes but there will definitely be a few power ballads thrown in the mix too.
Who are some artists that we should definitely be catching this year?
Well as I said before, I’m super excited about Emma Donovan & The Putbacks, but it’s an epic lineup this year. There’s so much on that I am really into. The Meltdown’s single Better Days has me hooked; Archer has long been one of my favourite local acts; and I’m pretty keen to check out Ngaiire. I’ll be seeing as much as I possibly can. Oh yeah, but you should definitely check out Mojo Juju.
MOJO JUJU will appear alongside Jess Ribeiro, The Seven Ups, Emma Donovan & The Putbacks and many more at AWME 2015, which runs Thursday November 12 – Saturday November 14.
