What do you love about making music?
That it’s cheaper than therapy.
What do you hate about the music industry?
That wonderfully talented musicians are struggling to pay their bills, while no talent, little Disney future crack addicts are riding around in limos.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
Beer Whiskey Friends & Regrets (2012) Soda Bulbs & Ice Cream (2013). New record by the end of the year all available at joeguiton.bandcamp.com.
When’s the gig and with who?
Saturday August 2 at The Brunswick Hotel for the Tony Sly tribute show. I’m also doing a solo show in support of The Outfit album launch at the Prince of Wales with Strawberry Fist Cake and K – Mart Warriors on August the 8.
Which band would you most like to have a battle/showdown with?
Melbourne pop punk dudes All We Need. Because I think we’d win. In a fight of course… They are much better than us musically.
Describe the best gig you have ever played.
We’ve only been a band for a little while but we have had some awesome and terrible shows. Best is, without a doubt, opening for Nerdlinger and Revellers at The Public Bar. Everything came together brilliantly, despite the hangover from the night before.
Describe the worst gig you have ever played.
Supporting the brilliant Mara Threat on a Saturday afternoon at The Old Bar. Damian, our guitarist, and I played a little duo set. We were wasted from the night before. I didn’t go well. Mara graciously offered us money. I didn’t take it. She stopped talking to us after that. But she just started following me on Twitter so hopefully she’s forgiven me. Not Damo though.
