What’s the band name and what do you ‘do’ in the band?
We’re Lepers & Crooks, I’m Pat and I play guitar and sing some songs.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like?
The most random comparison we have had on multiple occasions is to Blind Melon, typically people say things like Led Zeppelin, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine
What do you love about making music?
There’s all the different stages, when we write we love to be secluded, we wrote our most recent EP in a beach shack up north, just recently we spent two weeks in a freezing cold cabin writing the next lot of material, it’s crazy to then be able to take these songs on the road and share them with new places and people, it helps give it a new perspective.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be?
Imagine having a jam with Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Buckley, Amy Winehouse, John Bonham and Lemmy. Does that need an explanation?
What can a punter expect from your live show?
High energy, plenty of banter and good times.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We’ve just released our second EP – The Heathen Circus which we recorded in Byron Bay with Jeff Martin from the Tea Party.
