So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
We are The Kilniks and we play music! Consisting of Tom ‘vocals’ Benjamin, Liam ‘lead guitar’ Kelly, Nat ‘keys’ Taylor, Lewi ‘bass’ Baker and Alex ‘drums’ Roper.
What do you think people will say you sound like?
A Kooks cover band or The Beach Boys.
What do you love about making music?
It’s fun playing music and that’s why we do it. We love seeing our audience enjoying and getting something out of our music.
What do you hate about the music industry?
The dusty stages. Alex has terrible hay fever and it’s not easy playing drums when you’re sneezing.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
Whitney Houston. Too soon?
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Themes, colour and mustaches.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We have an EP out with Decibel Records called Not That Kind. It can be found in both Polyester and Thornbury records.
When’s the gig and with who?
On Saturday March 10 at the Noise Bar, with The Rosencrants, Emanuel Ciccolini’s Tex Mex Takeout, Champagne Reggae, DJ Mason Maddy and lots of tequila. It’s Mexican theme with $5 entry, $5 nachos and $5 tequilas from 8 ’til 10pm.
Anything else to add?
For anyone who can grow a better/dirtier mustache than Liam Kelly, they will receive free entry.
