Describe your music in five words.
Really, really, really, loud stuff.
How long have you been gigging and writing for?
I have been writing music for six years and gigging for roughly five years with bands here and there, as well as gigging solo regularly for about three years.
What’s been your favourite gig to date?
It was in October at The Dancing Dog in Footscray, for the most part of the night it was empty, but as we started setting up our equipment to headline the whole room packed out with almost everyone we know who’d been following our gig at the start. The mood was ultimately really intense.
What advice would you give to other aspiring musicians?
Firstly; get out of Australia, secondly; write good music for yourself, thirdly; have a band of people you actually enjoy being around, fourth; network, know who can support you really well in the scene and remember not to smother them, and finally; smile and don’t take yourself too seriously.
Why should people come to your gig at The Workers Club?
I’d love for everyone to come because in a music scene that struggles to break the cliquey boundaries. You’ll notice a lot of the popular local bands share the same friends and they have the same people coming to all the bands within their cliques gigs, it’s like high school in that sense. Unintentional of course, but still dismal.
EDITH LANE are playing at The Workers Club on Thursday April 2.
