Hi there! Who are we speaking with and what do you do in your band?
Rhys D, drummer and vocalist for The Quick and the Dead.
Describe your sound in five words.
Three piece blues rock’n’roll.
How would you describe your experience in FReeZa’s Push Start Battle of the Bands competition so far?
We’ve had a lot of fun listening/playing with a bunch of bands that are at a similar stage to us. It’s been a great opportunity to play for some new faces and make new connections.
Tell us about your journey. What or who do you believe helped you the most to get where you are?
We’ve spent the last two years playing anywhere an opportunity turned up, which in rural Victoria can be tough. In June we released our debut with Nado from Kane Audio so he’s been a big help, but definitely our friends and family are the most to blame for us still being around.
What big goals do you have after the competition finishes?
We head off on our first tour a few weeks after Moomba and we’re releasing Folk’n’Flight (live acoustic) EP in April, so that’s taking most of our time at the moment. We’re also talking about recording our second full length later this year.
THE QUICK AND THE DEAD are performing at the FReeZa Push Start Battle of the Bands Grand Final at Moomba on Saturday March 7.
