What inspired you to apply for Melbourne Music Bank?
Coming off a solid six months of heavy gigging this year we jumped at the opportunity to showcase our band to the public and get the Sienna Wild name and sound out there. What more could you want; playing music to people who love music.
If you could perform anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
Hyde Park. The Stones played a free concert there in 1969, two days after their former guitarist Brian Jones had died. If we were to one day play there, you’d have us all teary eyed to say the least.
What do you love the most about making music?
There’s something special about making music with the same guys you drink and hang out with every weekend. That’s where our band’s chemistry comes from. We are in total awe of each other’s musicianship. We still shit ourselves a little bit every time Jase rips an insane drum fill, or Jon screws up a guitar lead break or when Lou pulls out some Flea bass lines. We love it.
How do you feel you’ll cope in the public eye?
Publicity will only make this band work harder. We do what we do because we love it, and we’re not going to stop or change that for no one. Drums and guitars are our thing, not machines, synths and copious amounts of verb.
