Define your genre in five words or less:
Psych Shoegaze Blues Fuzz Jangle
What do you hate about the music industry?
That they don’t give musicians free lollypops
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
I’d probably show someone like Blind Willie McTell, though I don’t think he would be impressed. But it would be good fun to hang out with the guy, drinking moon-shine together on his porch, havin’ a yarn.
How long have you been gigging and writing?
We really started as a four piece last summer after Ben and I came back from overseas. Before that we were a three piece for half a year, but Ben and I have been writing together since we were about 17.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
I have no idea, probably some depraved and degrading things. But I guess creating decent music is a good start.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
We recently just released our first single Broke Down Blues/Samariterstrasse that you’ll be able to get for free at our Evelyn gigs or download for free on our Bandcamp. However, the hard copies are all hand stamped and hand painted in different colours if you’re a sucker for materialism.
When are you doing your thing next?
We’ll be doing a live-to-air set on 3CR on Friday September 13 with Matt Gleeson on the Burning Vinyl show. That’ll be between 2-4pm.
When’s the gig and with who?
We will be playing at The Evelyn every Monday night in September with great supports from Willow Darling, Michael Galloway, Spiral Arm, Jumpin’ Jack William, Foreign/ National, Neil Wilkinson, Papa Maul, Aimee Volkofsky, Lands and Calypso. It’s going to be heaps of fun. We’re really excited. $3 entry and $10 jugs.
