So then, what’s your name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
I’m Mike. I give lectures on history, comics, movies and sly social commentary in vocal form.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like?
Suicidal Tendencies, Anthrax and Municipal Waste. Or if I’m speaking to work colleagues who would give blank stares at the mention of those bands, then it’s Metallica.
What do you love about making music?
Using it as an excuse to make other things as well as music, like videos, photos, witty Facebook posts, and also inflicting my opinion on people.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
If I’m travelling back in time, I’m not going show my hero my stuff. I’ll show them stuff way better than my stuff and pretend it was mine since they wouldn’t know any better. So anyway, “Dear Mozart, check out this album I wrote, sang, played and produced called Greatest Hits. Oh, what’s that Mozart? Am I royalty? Oh no, no, no, my artist name is just Queen.”
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Good times, circle pits, stage dives and high-fives. We don’t care who you are or where you come from as long as you’re there to have a good time.
What’ve you got to sell music-wise?
We are putting out a 7” split vinyl with a superb band from Sydney called Sorcery, like any modern day band would.
PARTY VIBEZ are playing at The Brunswick Hotel on Friday September 25. They’ll be joined by Sorcery, Scum Guts, Povarotti and Beyond Contempt.
