Define your genre in five words or less:

’70s inspired stoner rock groove.

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?

amn, that was the most fun I’ve had with a beer in ages.

How long have you been gigging and writing?

Since around late 2011.

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

Last year we got to open the festival at Desertfest Berlin. Definitely our highlight so far.

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

Orange Goblin. If only to settle the eternal debate over who is taller, Big Ben or Cozza.

What inspires or has influenced your music the most?

Beer and riffs. ’70s heavy rock like Grand Funk and Sabbath, along with classic stoner bands like Clutch, Kyuss and Fu Manchu.

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

Play hip hop.

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

We have a few releases available at shops and at rifffist.bandcamp.com.

Why should everyone come and see your band?

Because we make your head bang, arse shake and ears bleed. You’re guaranteed to have a blast.
