So then, what’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
Junk Horses, I sing and yell a bit, bash an SG that used to belong to Taxiride and write the tunes.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like?
One part Patti Smith one part Neko Case one part Ludacris one part twang one part sexy one part junk. We have lots of parts.
What do you love about making music?
It’s the best thing any human being can do with their time.
What do you hate about the music industry?
I just lurk on the periphery in small bars and pubs, so I can’t hate it. Everyone I’ve come across has been groovy as hell.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
Probably Johnny Cash, he was open to every type of GOOD music, he’s unique, passionate, daring and also have you seen that photo of him with the kitten? Yeahhh.
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it and why?
I’m not all that into assassinating, but I would give John Mayer a good firm spanking.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Hooky licks, gyrating, howling, stomping, sweat, windmills.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We’ve got an EP we bashed together just the other day in a shed in Preston. It’s a bit of a cracker!
When’s the gig and with who?
Saturday January 26 at beautiful and wild Hepburn Springs with a million other splendid people and things from near and far including: Cherrywood, Mightiest of Guns, Humbug, Freya Hollick, Tim Guy & band, you, me, a chai tent AND also there is a big pile of old TVs out the back which people sit around in a circle singin’ Hank Williams, raggy blues, TLC and misc ‘80s hip hop til sun up.
Anything else to add?
YOU SHOULD COME. The lake down the road cures the most evil of hangovers and there are a bunch of great cafes, book shops, record shops, parks, paddocks and bars in the area.
