Define your genre in five words or less:
Roots, folk, brassy bushman punk.
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
To quote a review of our latest single Gallantry, “A cross between Mumford and Sons, Old Crow Medicine Show and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.”
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Punters can expect to work up a sweat, can expect to dance, can expect to be visually and audibly impressed with the high energy nature of our performance.
So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you…what do they say?
Holy cow, I just saw these guys playing about four instruments each simultaneously, all singing and all going crazy. I’m now pumped to grab five more beers and slap my knee into next week.
If your music was a chocolate bar, which one would it be, and why?
I think we would have to be a Boost bar. As that’s exactly how we start a set, not slow, or fast, we boost straight into it, and we only boost further from there!
What makes a good musician?
A good musician should be able to show restraint. A lot of people can play a million notes a minute but it’s where you leave the space which is the most important.
If you could go on tour with any musician or band, who would it be?
I think I can speak for all members of The Timbers, we would love to tour with The Band. We are all huge fans, and if you have ever seen the documentary The Last Waltz you can see in their eyes that they sure are having a good time. They love all in jamming and collaboration which we would love to get on board. Unfortunately they’re just about all dead now.
