Define your genre in five words or less: UK-influenced indie.
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like? For the last EP, I got Jesus And Mary Chain and Pixies, which I’ll take.
Describe the best gig you have ever played. Quitcoalapalooza – a benefit gig for an environmental collective called Quit Coal. Every single person danced; it was a nice feeling.
Tell us about the last song you wrote. It’s called Let The Old World Break. It’s got lyrics about a girl called Susy and global politics and some chord changes and a trumpet doing triplets. And a digital choir, for some reason. And a hip hop sample of a guy going “one that you wanna listen to”. It’s all a tad random. I guess you had to be there.
Where would you like to be in five years? Discovered from relative obscurity in Coburg B men’s basketball leading the Washington Wizards to their fourth straight title.
Do you have a pre-gig ritual? If so, what is it? I often get angry before playing a gig and start wishing I was home writing music. Also for a warm up I often secretly sing-along to whatever band is playing without knowing the words.
Name an interview question you wish someone would ask you, and answer it. How are you so mind-numbingly sexually attractive? That’s a tough question. I don’t know, I honestly don’t know. But look, it’s humbling to be asked that, it really is.
If your music was a chocolate bar, which one would it be, and why? Maybe Bounty – generally overlooked but kind of awesome if you give it a chance.
