Define your genre in five words or less:
Beach-pop-punk.
When are you launching your single?
We just released Give Me Your Tee Shirt digitally, and we’re having a launch party at The Prince Of Wales, St Kilda to celebrate on Friday December 13 and it’s free! This is extra-rad for us as we are all the way from Perth! We’ll be joined by special guests The Deep End.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
Everyday life I guess, stuff that happens to me, or things that I watch or read that have a profound impact on me, be it on YouTube or in a movie, in a book or things happening around me. Our single Give Me your Tee Shirt is about waking up in an unknown place without any clothes on, which has happened to me on more than one occasion. I thought it happened to everyone… But apparently not.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
Realise that playing music is the real success. I see so many people who are always chasing something, or want more, but if that’s your attitude then the boundaries of success will always shift and you can never be content. I think the most important thing is to remember why you started playing music in the first place; because it’s this magical incredible gift, and if you’re lucky enough to possess it, and appreciate it, then you truly are successful. Anything else is just the cherry on the cake.
Do you have a pre-gig ritual? If so, what is it?
Drink beer and party!
