Name:
Jordan Sturdee.
Define your genre in five words or less:
Feelings, beards, cheap flights, vibes.
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
Argh I have no idea – hopefully like something want to hear, but not too close to what they’ve already heard. We channel Keane, Radiohead, Blur, The Boxer Rebellion.
What do you love about making music?
It’s a compulsion I guess. A good outlet though. It’s satisfying.
What do you hate about the music industry?
I don’t know, I’m not in the music industry.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Ummm, we’ll be there, and our instruments (usually). Sometimes Nato dresses like a peacock? We really try to bring the elements of our songs to life…
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
Our November 2012 released mini-album To You. We ended wanting all seven tracks to be on it, so we ended up with this and didn’t know what to call it (EP, album etc) so there it is.
When’s the gig and with who?
We are co-headlining a tour with Nantes, playing the Northcote Social Club on Friday April 19.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
We would be very appreciative and heaven knows we do need the numbers.
Describe the best gig you have ever played.
Bigsound, Brisbane, strip club, cages for the strippers (empty), me trying to get in one of those cages during the band before. But seriously, it was a good gig.
What advice would you give to bands that are new on the Melbourne music scene?
Eat breakfast at Green’s Cafe.
