Define your genre in five words or less: Futuristic neo-soul/old school funk.
Where and what time will you be playing at the St Kilda Festival? Veludo at 9.30pm on Thursday February 6.
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
The two main pools from which we draw our inspiration are the golden era of Soul in the ‘60s, and the hip hop and jazz influenced neo-soul movement of recent times. Our music explores the meshing of raw funk rhythms and soulful vocals with laid back drum grooves, lush jazz piano voicings and textural guitar delay sounds.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
We’ll be releasing our debut EP Good Advice in February 2014. You’ll be able to pick up a copy from a show or our Facebook or Bandcamp pages.
What advice would you give to bands that are new on the Melbourne music scene?
Go to every gig you possibly can! Find the bands you love and connect with, and strike up a conversation. Melbourne venues are teeming with incredible musicians who are always down to help each other out. That’s, for the most part, how we got our start; supporting bands like Echo Drama, Kooyeh, El Moth and the Seven-Ups
If you could go on tour with any musician or band, who would it be?
Hiatus Kaiyote, Erykah Badu, any Daptone band. We’re planning on embarking on a tour or two in 2014, and we’re heading down the coast to play Apollo Bay Music Festival in February/March. For us, travelling as a band is a golden opportunity to spend quality band time, write new tunes and be inspired by new places.
