Define your genre in five words or less:
Psych/Garage/Pop/Noise
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
People have been saying we sound like Dinosaur Jr – which is cool, but I’ve hardly listened to them – so I don’t know what that means. Maybe I should listen to them?
What do you love about making music?
Discovery through collaboration – it breeds creativity. I find myself learning so much through playing with different people – stuff you’d never discover if you’re just in your room jamming with yourself.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
There seems to be a balance (or contrast) between lots of fuzz/noise with pop sensibilities arising in writing and rehearsals. I think (hopefully) these dynamic extremes make for an interesting show. I guess we’ll see because our launch shows are also our debut gigs as a band!
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
Our single is out digitally on iTunes, and we’re gonna put a homemade tape together for our debut shows – it’ll have the single and a bunch of b-sides and demos that informed the band’s inception.
How long have you been gigging and writing?
I’ve been playing bass and other instruments in bands since I was around 14 I guess. But this is my first real project as a frontman, which I’m really excited about.
What part of making music excites you the most?
When you’re writing or jamming and you stumble across something unexpectedly – something you didn’t know existed in your consciousness. You can’t nail down where it came from or what influenced it, but it can be fucking exciting.
When’s the gig and with who?
Thursday October 25 at The Old Bar with Stu Mackenzie (King Gizzard) and Sleep Decade. Also the Saturday October 27 at The Nash in Geelong with Turtlenecjk and Sleep Decade.
