60 Seconds With… Paint Me A Phoenix

When’s the gig and with who?

This Friday night at The Grace Darling Hotel with Xenograft, Zombie Psychologist and The Black Galaxy Experience.

What inspires or has influenced your music the most?

Music in general would be the first influence, then the lyrics make sense the older you get. Life imitates life. Paint Me A Phoenix?

Why should everyone come and see your band?

Because it’s our third and final show for 2013 before we record our debut, and its only $5 entry to see four unique sounding Melbourne bands.

What’s your favourite song?

Six Organs of Admittance – Eighth Cognition/All You’ve Left.

What advice would you give to bands that are new on the Melbourne music scene?

Only work with people who are genuine and have a sincere interest in your band and the music you are creating. Avoid the presale scene and any shady pyramid schemes being run by second-rate promoters all over town. They don’t care about the music, they just want your money. If you do your research most of them collect your money to help fund their own stupid musical aspirations. Laughing out loud.

How do you balance making and playing music with your other commitments?

You don’t. Life is short but really fucking busy. Whether you like it or not you are living in the future. Ain’t no sunshine or mohitoe’s here, we already have your journey planned. Don’t sit back and don’t enjoy too much of the ride, or you might find yourself being a dodgy second rate promoter in the next life.
