So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
My name is Steve Rodrigues, and I play noise/guitars for Husk.
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
Soundgarden, A Perfect Circle, and Rage Against The Machine. All your favourite 90s bands put in a blender, sprinkled with a little Pink Floyd.
What do you love about making music?
You can’t lie in music. If you’re jamming and somebody doesn’t click, you can’t fake it, and it sounds shit!
What do you hate about the music industry?
Money. Getting things from the rehearsal room to an audience’s ears takes money and time, which are essentially the same thing.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
For me personally it’d be Jimi Hendrix, because I think he’d understand the energy aspect of a performance better than most others.
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it and why?
Any of them. Do you know how much free media exposure we’d get if one of us blew somebody famous away? I think that’s a plan. We’ll recruit a triangle player, and brain wash him to do a high profile killing of some useless culture regurgitator. They can take the fall while we ride the free media wave!
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Energy and lots of it, progressive hard hitting tunes with big dynamics.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
Our debut release Contemplating Pupation, and we have another in the works.Also we’re launching merchandise at our show at The Ferntree Gully Hotel on Friday February 24.
When’s the gig and with who?
It’s on Friday February 24 at The Ferntree Gully Hotel, with Sydonia, Blind Monkee, Fenian, and No Stairway.
Anything else to add?
Sydonia are a Melbourne band all alternative fans should check out. Also, check us out on Facebook www.facebook.com/huskaudio.
