Define your genre in five words or less:
Raw-wave rock music.
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?
“Come and check out this band, they are kinda like Buzzcocks meets The Strokes, but a bit psych-grungy.” This actually happened. A couple came to watch us at The Brunswick after the girlfriend had seen the start of our set, then met up with her boyfriend, described us (as above) and convinced him to come back and watch the rest. He told us he thought that the description was spot on.
How long have you been gigging and writing?
Approximately 600 days as Cinema 6.
What has been your favourite gig you’ve played to date?
Probably the night we played at a Taj Mahal themed dress-up party. I had the best hairdo of my life that night. After we finished playing, this really tall hairy guy kept trying to hijack the playlist and put Africa by Toto on. It was a great night.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
A Tom Waits quote, I can’t remember the exact phrasing, but it was words to the effect of: “Songwriting is like fishing. You have to be patient to catch good ones.”
Why should everyone come and see your band?
Because we sound like The Buzzcocks meets The Strokes.
CINEMA 6 are playing at The Brunswick Hotel this Saturday January 24 with The Trash Fairys, Messed Up and Mondo Bizarro.
