So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
The Bombastics. We play Funk, Soul, Disco, Jazz, Latin, and Pop music. Essentially we play covers, but not the songs you’re used to hearing down at the local pub. Expect Flight Facilities, Daft Punk, Jamiroquai, Moloko, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, and Dusty Springfield. Unless of course you want to hear a bit of Daddy Cool, then we can play that too!
What do you reckon people will say you sound like?
A Hit Machine!
What do you love about making music?
Many things: jamming with your closest friends, keeping the crowd dancing, and the fact that we get to make a career out of our one true passion.
What do you hate about the music industry?
The fine print…
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
Hmmm that could be interesting… “Hi Marvin, we’re The Bombastics. Check out our version of “What’s Going On?” – the kids still love it!
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it be and why?
What a violent question! Life would probably be better without Kenny G. Poor Kenny.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Whatever they want! Chilled groove music early on, unstoppable dancing until the wee hours – the choice is yours!
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We give away free CDs on our website www.thebombastics.com.au
When’s the gig and with who?
Friday March 30, Friday April 20, and Friday May 4, at the new Purple Emerald Lounge Bar on High Street, Northcote. We’re playing 10:30pm – 1:30am. Come down for a drink and a boogie.
