Let’s start with introductions.
I’m Dermot and I’m the guitarist and founding member of Hollywood Real Thoughts. We’re a Melbourne 3-piece messing around with a combo of electronic and shoegaze music. My general role, aside from guitar is largely songwriting and management.
Can you fill us in on what you’re setting up for the dual single launch at the Workers?
We’ve got a bunch of wicked bands playing over the whole day including Mosaicz, Seasloth and What Did You Do With Mom. We’re going to be running projections and video art in the bandroom all afternoon while the bands play too. It seems only necessary to combine a bill of psych music with some awesome visuals for the audience.
Is there anything interesting or different about the way you pieced together your new track? Our single Pacer is a song I wrote over a year ago that’s been reprised and revamped by the band. We chose Pacer as the single from our upcoming EP as we felt it represented both the original style and sounds, but also a distinctively more energetic direction.
Have you got any thoughts about what Hollywood Real Thoughts are going to be doing for 2017? We’ll be releasing our second EP at the very beginning of 2017. All the songs are currently in the studio being mixed and as far as the band goes we’re just continuing to write and add brand new songs to our set.
