60 Seconds With… Grey Ghost

greyghost.jpg

Define your genre in five words or less: 

Space-Core-Post-Rap-Grunge.

What inspires or has influenced your music the most?

The Muppets, whiskey, Batman comics, Talking Heads, Francis Ford Coppola and Basquit.

If someone made a movie about your life, who would play you?

Definitely Russell Brand. My mum actually called me the other day and said I was on TV, I checked and it was him. She has done the same thing with Craig David…if he can act maybe he could play me. In fact maybe it could be like that Bob Dylan movie where a bunch of people play me. Then it could be Russell Brand, Craig David, Wesley Snipes, John Goodman and Steve Buscemi.

If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?

Surely it’d have to be Mozart or Bach or Brahms – cos my music would just fuck with their heads.

Do you have a pre-gig ritual? If so, what is it?

I generally do half an hour of vocal warm ups, drink some tea and honey, do some stretches, drink some whiskey and then jump on the spot 30 times like I’ve just kicked the best goal of all time. It puts you in a good frame of mind – try it. Once I’ve done all that I’m pretty much ready to go smash it up.   

When’s the gig and with who?

I’m currently on my Adventures Of Grey Ghost Tour and the Melbourne show is on Friday October 25 at the NSC. I’ve got the dude Remi playing as well as Mathas from Perth and my sister DJ LeiLion.
