You’re playing Rock the Reef this Thursday. Tell us about the fundraising nature of the gig.
100% of the profits will go to Australian Youth Climate Coalition for the Love of the Reef Campaign. The proposed coal port expansion 50km from the Whitsundays will damage the fragile reef. Abbot Point is the last proposed major coal port, and even after UNESCO’s warnings, an international campaign gaining over a million signatures, and 11 international banks refusing to touch this project, it could still go ahead.
The stuffy shirts in parliament continue to make terrible decisions regarding the environment. Is it up to the people to convince them otherwise?
We cannot trust that the governing bodies and parties involved will act with the interests of the environment, or the communities that depend on it to survive.
What’s the history of Mosey Jokers – how long have you been kicking it?
Mosey Jokers have been writing and rehearsing for about nine months. This will be our first outing in the wild.
When you look up at your musical idols, is there much history of political involvement that you aspire to replicate with your own band?
Singing about titties and beer and using the profits to invest in the environment so it can be enjoyed by future generations is something we’re more than happy to do.
If not Melbourne, where in the world would you like to be playing music?
In Tony Abbott or Joe Hockey’s bedroom, with a full stack at 11.
