So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?

We are Parks Department and I’m Jordi of who plays a whole bunch of stuff. Mostly bass. Mitch is the other guy and he plays everything else that I don’t and vice versa.

What do you reckon people will say you sound like?

If Kings of Leon made music on computers and weren’t hell religious.

What do you loveabout making music?


Saying we love something is implying we have feelings. Just joshing, it’s actually a pretty good way to procrastinate from attending to the deadlines of life.

What do you hateabout the music industry?

Hate’s a pretty bloody strong word don’t you think? Nah we hate heaps.

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

They still got a beat in their chests, but we’d love to go back and be best friends with the ‘Gurge in their prime time and hang out. Also maybe Beethoven, ‘cause apparently he was deaf, so he’d probably just smile nicely and tap his foot out of time while sipping on his chardonnay and pretend as if he likes it.

What can a punter expect from your live show?

We got some pretty intense audio and matching visuals. Most people think I take a hell of a lot of acid because of them, but unfortunately my mind’s already scattered enough that hallucinogens aren’t for me.

What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?

We give out free CDs at every show, otherwise hit us up online. They come in recycled CD covers of other bands – we still have the original self titled Wolfmother album left, so be quick to get it.
