So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
Golden Girls is the name. I sing, play keys, write lyrics, look dashing.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like?
We were once compared with Pink Floyd, wasn’t sure what to make of that one, I think it was a compliment though.
What do you love about making music?
That it’s the perfect conduit for thoughts and feelings that couldn’t be expressed any other way.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be?
I’d want to show my lyrics to Leonard Cohen, the consummate storyteller. I’d want to talk vocals with Nico, who had such a unique timbre and a way of enunciating that I can relate to.
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it be and why?
Yikes, probably Robin Thicke or Redfoo? I hate that I even know their names. I’m sure there’s worse people in the world, but they just seem like dinosaurs. I wish people would think about what their lyrics are saying to the world.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We don’t have any physical releases yet, but we have an online EP Golden Hour released last year, which you can get on bandcamp https://goldengirls82.bandcamp.com/.
