60 Seconds With… Frida

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?  

“There’s four guys on stage in all-paisley suits and a small female creature made of flowers and glitter making some kind of wailing noise…I think you should see this. Take lots of beer.”

What inspires or has influenced your music the most?

Early morning drives to the airport, drinking too much Golden Oak cask wine and wearing Santa hats in October, the kebabs you can get on Sydney Road, flowers, Frida Kahlo, The Babysitter’s Club books and crayons. 

When’s the gig and with who?

We have a residency at the Evelyn Hotel on Wednesdays in November. Our friends Mandek Penha, The Do Yo Thangs, The Darjeelings, Velma Grove and lots more will be joining us. Come and have fun!

Describe the best gig you have ever played.

I guess it was probably in Singapore at the Baybeats Festival earlier this year. Our outdoor set happened to coincide with their National Day rehearsals, and at one point we had four fighter jets flying over our heads and totally drowning out our music right in the middle of a song. Weirdest, best gig we ever played. 

If your music was a chocolate bar, which one would it be, and why?

Not really a chocolate bar but it’d probably be a packet of double-coated Tim tams. Delicious, nostalgic, and just a little bit fancy.
