Define your genre in five words or less:
Garage with a touch of soul.
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?
What the fuck is that?
How long have you been gigging and writing?
Our very first gig is at the Brunswick Hotel; we’ve been writing and playing for two or three months.
Which band would you most like to have a battle/showdown with?
The original Lynyrd Skynyrd lineup, we’d win due to a lack of activity from the opposition.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
There’s been a bit of a 60’s revival going on in Melbourne with a lot of bands having their own unique take on a classic sound. I think we’ll jump on the bandwagon.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
Persistence.
Do you have any record releases to date? What? Where can I get it?
Not yet. Hopefully we can get an EP out mid-2015 sometime.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
If you’ve read all the way through this you obviously have too much time on your hands and owe it to yourself to see this band.
THE EARLY OPENERS are playing The Brunswick Hotel on Thursday December 18 with Chop Squad, Goodbye Bozo’s and May Rivers.
