Define your genre in five words or less:
Hard, fast, raw, punk rock.
Describe the best gig you have ever played.
It was just the other night actually, it was a 40th birthday party we played of our lead guitarist’s friend, there were some really rad bands playing on the lineup, the vibe of the day was great, the stage was awesome and the band just gelled together with ease.
Tell us about the last song you wrote.
The last song I wrote, is called Get Me Out. It’s addressing the issue of depression, and the isolation felt by the sufferer. The first two verses are spoken from the sufferers point of view and finishes with a guiding voice notifying that one doesn’t have to endure the disease alone.
Where would you like to be in five years?
We have set ourselves the goal of playing Rebellion Festival in Blackpool, England by 2017, which is three years away so were really not thinking five years into the future just yet.
Do you have a pre-gig ritual? If so, what is it?
Try to stay away from the bar, [laughs]. There’s a bit of warm up an hour or so before the show usually on my acoustic, we have a little bit of a group pep talk, usually ends in us making really bad jokes but helps lighten nerves.
OBSERD play the Nevermind the Warp’d Tour sideshow at The Dancing Dog in Footscray from 8pm.
