Define your sound in five words or less:
Tones for change of atmosphere.
What do you love about making music?
Playing with so many talented people in this great musical city. I also love the songwriting process. You start with an original concept and as it passes through people’s interpretations and influences it’s amazing how much that concept can change.
And what makes you unhappiest about what you’re doing?
Tinnitus.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
We just recently released our sophomore album A Thin Line through ABC so you can get them in all ABC shops as well as JBH Hi-Fi and itunes etc. It was an incredible process working with producer David Odlum (The Frames, Josh Ritter) and Mark Stanley, converting a gigantic shed in the Yarra Valley into a recording studio and in the process, converting many bare boned garage demos into fully crafted sonic landscapes. We nailed a sound we’d hoped to capture for quite a few years now.
What do you hate about the music industry?
Seeing the glorified but average entertainers marketed a certain way that deems them the great musicians and poets of our time. Shit!
What’s your favourite song, and why?
And She Was by Talking Heads. It killed me in the ’80s and it kills me now.
When’s the gig and with who?
This Friday, November 15 at Ding Dong Lounge with Admiral Fallow and Manran (two bands out from Scotland to play as a part of AWME) as well as fellow local legends Cash Savage and the Last Drinks.
If someone made a movie about your life, who would play you?
A younger Steve Buschemi perhaps.
What makes a good musician?
Someone that can balance passion with wit!
