So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
The National Evening Express. I play bass, sing and keep the peace.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like?
Like a bitch slap at Sunday mass.
What do you love about making music?
Watching people going off to the end product from an elevated height.
What do you hate about the music industry?
The commercial rock radio stations playing the same shit from the same bands over and over again.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy). I reckon he’d appreciate a few of the bass lines.
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it and why?
Well, Ian Astbury (The Cult) could cop a bullet for his ungrateful ranting all the time.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
A raucous fest of delicious lead breaks, ripping songs aplenty, and a warm fuzzy feeling when it’s all over.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We have a digital download, which we will be giving out free on Saturday night.
THE NATIONAL EVENING EXPRESS play the Brunswick Hotel on Saturday July 11 with Sisters Doll, Mojo Pin and Ace Bricklaying. Entry is free.
