60 Seconds With… The Electric I

theelectrici.jpg

Define your genre in five words or less:

Experimental prog-pop.

What do you love about making music?

Making music for us is an organic anti-depressant.

If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?

Frank Zappa, so we can hear him say “I’ve already done that.”

What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?’

We have our debut album Martyrdom launched in May 2013. You can get it at our gigs.

When’s the gig and with who?

We are playing our first residency ever at The Evelyn Hotel, every Tuesday in August and we decided to create a multi-artistic show called ‘Chemikalia’ featuring fantastic Melbourne bands like Ghost Orkid, Arte Kanela, Sun Lotion, Reilly Fitzalan, Roxy Lavish, Lamine Sonko & One Africa, Bachu Rose accompanied by wicked artists such as Kathleen Gonzalez, Neojuglar, Katherine  Gailer and Hayley Hoopla. You don’t want to miss this. Honestly.

Why should everyone come and see your band?

Because is not every day that you find a Colombian, a Cuban, a Venezuelan, two Aussies and a Kiwi jamming together.

What makes you happiest about what you’re doing?

That is all worth it.

Tell us about the last song you wrote.

The last song I wrote started as an intro for the EP launch, evolved into a song and mutated into a sound.

If you could go on tour with any musician or band, who would it be?

Bjork. Definitely.
