60 Seconds With… Problems

Define your genre in five words or less:

Electronic world pop.

 

So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you. What do they say?

These guys are playing some nice beats with some trippy visuals and their vocalist is pretty into it.

 

How long have you been gigging and writing?

We’ve only played three gigs so far do we’re still making minor tweaks to the show. Probably took us about six-ten months to write, record and produce our EP.

 

What has been your favourite gig you’ve played to date?

They’ve all been good but maybe the one at Pirie St Social Club in Adelaide.

 

Which band would you most like to have a battle/showdown with?

I’m not sure our style is something we could battle with but let’s say Washed Out. I think we might lose though.

 

What inspires or has influenced your music the most?

Just the wide variety of current music that we listen to. We draw inspiration from different producers and try to put our own spin on things.

 

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

Write and produce great songs to a high standard. The rest of the stuff will follow if the songs are good enough.

 

Do you have any record releases to date? What? Where can I get it?

We released our debut seven-track EP called For the Ages in April. You can get it from iTunes, Spotify or order a physical copy from the Mirador Records website.

 

Why should everyone come and see your band?

We think we have an original sound and stage show going on, it’s something that’s a bit different that we think people will enjoy it.

 

When are you playing live/releasing your album/EP/single/etc?

We’ve already released the EP. We’ll be playing in Melbourne at the Mirador Records showcase this Saturday May 31. Following that we’ll have some announcements for a single release and another string of dates so stay tuned!
