How do you feel Melbourne Music Bank will best benefit your goals?
Melbourne Music Bank would change our lives dramatically. It would allow us to continue doing what we love: playing music with each other, while also enhancing our ability to become recognised within the Melbourne music scene.
Why do you think it’s so difficult to break into the international music circuit?
There are so many great artists out there it can be hard to differentiate yourself from the bunch. This is where marketing and publicity become paramount. To really turn heads requires more than just good music; there needs to be something else that defines you as an artist that an audience can relate to.
What do you love the most about making music?
The creative process is always fun and challenging. During jams, we are constantly spinning off new ideas and ways to improve or alter our songs. Having four of us who are so similar, albeit so different, creates an interesting and exciting dynamic.
How do you perceive the music industry today?
The music industry is very much alive and pumpin’. The way society accesses music, and the way bands and employees in the industry make their money is changing. The increase in the use of streaming services calls for concern for particular people, but this doesn’t mean music is dying by any means.
