Define your genre in five words or less:
Grunge pop.
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?
“I’m gonna’ buy these guys a beer.”
What has been your favourite gig you’ve played to date?
We headlined the first ever Queens of Noize festival in Bendigo. When we first stepped onstage, everybody was sitting down and it all felt a little too polite. By the end of our set, everybody was up out of their seats and rocking out. They sure know how to party in the country. It was awesome.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
The rich tapestry that is life, with its many experiences. And sushi.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
Have fun. Nothing kills the vibe more than stressing about the business side of things to the point that you forget why you’re doing this in the first place.
Do you have any record releases to date? What? Where can I get it?
Our debut self-titled EP and Whole Other Kind single are both available from dearstalker.bandcamp.com and iTunes.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
Why shouldn’t everyone come and see our band?
When are you playing live/releasing your album/EP/single/etc?
At The Brunswick Hotel this Saturday. It’s a fundraiser show to help us record our new EP. We get paid a percentage of bar takings, so it’s the perfect excuse to join us for a beer and help us out in the process.
Catch DEAR STALKER at The Brunswick Hotel on Saturday January 31.
