Define your genre in five words or less:

Garage/punk/ridiculous cunts.

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

Daryl Braithwaite – He’s selling out mid sized RSLs up and down the east coast as good as pop star past or present.

 

What inspires or has influenced your music the most?

We just look at all the problems in our neighbourhood and also the rest of the world and we get quite upset and sad and we write beautiful songs about it for everyone.

What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?

Eat dairy.

 

Do you have any record releases to date? What are they?

We have no releases. Our first record will come out this year. It’s called Dole Cheque and Cabana. You can’t buy it now, but you might be able to one day.

Describe the best gig you have ever played.

Jack’s mum’s 53rd birthday, Jack is of the Italian persuasion and his family put together a fantastic spread with lots of dips and cured meats.

 

What’s your favourite song, and why?

Boys of Summer by Don Henley – it’s a good song.

 

How do you stop your pre-gig jitters?

Bulk Tins.

When are you playing live?

We’re playing our first show of the year at Prince with Jimmy Junk Heart for his EP launch. We’ve been pretty restless for the past few months and are looking forward to playing again.
