What do you love about making music?
Making music, free beer, the allure of having a social life.
What do you hate about the music industry?
Have no clue what ‘the music industry’ is.
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it and why?
Shit music serves a purpose: it takes idiots away from your gigs.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
If you’re playing music you want to play with people you want to be around, then you’re a success. Your main work after that is maintaining the musical relationship you have with band members and doing stuff that interests you as a band. Everything else will take care of itself.
Where in the Melbourne music scene do you think you fit in, and how important is it to play with the right bands?
Really don’t know about this. We just take each gig offer on its merits. If we like the bands on the bill, the venue and we’re available, then usually we play the gig. I’m sure there’s bands/people who can’t stand us, but every time we play to a new crowd we win over a few people who buy our music. We’re a band that fits everywhere and nowhere and we like to mix it up a bit. So, we’re happy to put our tunes out there live and let audiences decide.
