Define your genre in five words or less:
Science fiction grunge rock fusion.
How long have you been gigging and writing?
The Pass Outs starting playing live shows in Melbourne in 2005. In that time we have released a single, an EP and a full length album.
What has been your favourite gig you’ve played to date?
Our album launch last year at the Cherry Bar. We sold it out.
Which band would you most like to have a battle/showdown with?
Smoke Stack Rhino.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
We draw inspiration from everything and anything. I could be watching a movie and feel inspired to write a song. Alternatively I could be trying to get to sleep and get a song idea stuck in my head, then get up at 3am and nut it out on acoustic before getting back to sleep.
Do you have any record releases to date? What? Where can I get it?
Our debut Album Dead Technology is available on iTunes, and is available to order at any JB HI-FI across Australia on CD or Vinyl. We also have posters, t-shirts and skateboards, all available exclusively at our live shows.
Why should everyone come and see your band? If you haven’t seen The Pass Outs live at a venue in Melbourne in the last ten years, you clearly don’t go to see live music. So I’d encourage you to go see any local band, not just ours, our live music scene in Melbourne right now is great.
THE PASS OUTS are playing at The Brunswick Hotel on Saturday August 15. They’re also celebrating their tenth anniversary on Saturday November 14 at Cherry Bar.
