Hey, there! What’s your name? Where ya’ from?
Hey! We’re Stonefox and we come to you from the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
How did Stonefox come to be?
Jenna and Tim met for the first time watching a Snakadaktal concert at Federation Square with mutual friends. After bonding over a love of the beach and creating music, we began emailing musical ideas to each other and sharing sounds. Almost exactly one year later, we found ourselves performing those songs in Stonefox, on the very same stage where we had once met in the audience.
Is there any special meaning behind your band name?
We wanted this project to emanate character and earthiness from its first instance – Stonefox just felt right.
When and where did you write your single, All I Want?
All I Want was written at the beginning of 2013, under a clothesline.
You just got a new drummer. Tell us about how she came into the picture.
All the drummers we knew were already tied up in bands, so we put an ad on Gumtree with a picture of a zebra & made the criteria ‘must like pizza & the beach’. We got a message from Monica the next day.
Tell us about the bands supporting you at your launch.
We’re lucky enough to be joined by super talented folk outfit Tiny Little Houses, beat-making maestro Sibling – who might just be the next Chet Faker (he even has the beard) – and energetic indie-pop band SANS, who will join us for an acoustic slot.
What should people do while they’re listening to your music?
Sit back in a rocking chair, swirl a scotch and break out into the occasional boogie on the coffee table.
What significance do 44-gallon drums have to the band?
Our new video clip will reveal the answer to this one… let’s just say, flaming arrows and kerosene are also of significance.
What can people expect from your live show if they haven’t seen you yet?
People can expect a mix of of ambient indie-pop tracks filled with synths and reverb-drenched guitars, as well as folk-based sounds as well. If you can picture the love child of Daughter and The xx, you’re half way there.
What are you looking forward to most on Wednesday night?
We’ve been putting so much time into the new single, the thing we are really looking forward to is being able to launch the new song and have a great time doing so.
STONEFOX will steal hearts at the Northcote Social Club on Wednesday October 15.
