The First Record I Bought:
The album I was first obsessed with was Isao Tomita’s Snowflakes are Dancing, a collection of Claude Debussy’s works transferred onto a Moog synthesiser.
The Last Record I Bought:
The last record I purchased was Martin Courtney’s Many Moons. Courtney is the frontman for the band Real Estate. I bought the album because it was laid back. I don’t usually go for this kind of album, but something about is really fresh and simultaneously takes elements of the old.
The First Thing I Recorded:
I got involved in music through Musolist… “Singer looking for band.” The first recording we did was in our drumme’s granny flat. It was fun and you know what, it sounded alright.
The Last Thing I Recorded:
We’ve been recording songs for an album since late last year with Matthew Hosking at Los Bomberos Studios in Northcote. We just released a double A-side Don’t Forget / Wake Us which we’re playing a show for at the Tote on Thursday April 28. Myself on vocals, Ryan DeCoite on bass, Chris MacLean on guitar, Ashley Stirling on drums and our friend Jarred Dexter on viola for the track Wake Us.
The Record That Changed My Life:
Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. This is the album that properly sparked my interest in music. You may say it’s a cliché but I don’t mind. I know it’s brilliant. The entire album is a work of art and I whack it on the record player anytime I need a reminder of who I am and where I came from.
