Define your genre in five words or less:
Ballsy, catchy, riff based rock!
What do you hate about the music industry?
There are heaps of Australian bands that are far more talented and more deserving of success than what is currently getting shoved down our throat on reality TV and commercial radio. Bring back the rock!
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Plenty of riffs, heaps of sweat, rocking tunes, maybe a Russian’s drumstick in the head and some hearing loss.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
Our debut album Choice Path Consequence Solution was released earlier this year, recorded in the USA with legendary producer Jeff Tomei, who also did our second EP A Million Miles & Days. Our debut EP, Lottery of Life, which we picked up a WA Music Award for “Rock Song of the Year” was released in 2008. The last remaining physical copies of the Album you can get from our shows or hailmary.bandcamp.com or digitally, all available on iTunes.
When are you doing your thing next?
Stoked to be invited to make the trek from Perth back to our second home of Melbourne for the fourth time this year for two killer gigs. Friday October 11 is for the first ever dcTunes showcase at the Espy front bar along with good buddies King Of The North, My Left Boot and My Dynamite and DJs Diamond Deb and Dan Attard. Then Saturday October 12 at the Tote for Heavy Music Mag’s “Brewtality 2013”, a celebration of Australia’s finest metal, rock and beer! 30 bands, two venues, three Stages.
Describe the best gig you have ever played.
Maybe not the best musically, but most fun and amazing door opening opportunity to build profile outside of WA was the 2012 Rock n Load festival at The Espy. We jumped on a plane from a gig in Perth straight to the gig in Melbourne, our first Melbourne show, no sleep, and to have a packed and pumping Espy front bar rocking out to our tracks was surreal. It was the start of our continuing love affair with the Melbourne scene and the reason we keep returning.
Where would you like to be in five years?
Touring on a constant basis, and not having to have day jobs – now that would be sweet!
