Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
In the past we’ve been likened to bands such as Deerhunter, Girls, Real Estate – sunny contemporary Americana…Then again I’ve been told we sound like The Band – I don’t think so – but I’m happy with that.
What part of making music excites you the most?
The sheer personal chaos, uncertainty and vulnerability involved in creating things which will then be accessible to the community, put in the line of fire and quite possibly shot down and set alight. But sometimes you succeed in some way or form. It’s war from all angles but no one ever really dies… unless you’re a rapper – then you might die.
What’s your favourite song, and why?
I don’t know, but I like what Kurt Vile is doing these days.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
Girls, probably.
What makes a good musician?
Soul, passion and talent – not much talent – but some.
What advice would you give to bands that are new on the Melbourne music
scene?
Don’t quit your day job.
How do you balance making and playing music with your other commitments?
There is no balance, only mayhem.
When’s the gig and with who?
The release party for our single/video is Thursday May 23 with Willow and Jackson McLaren at The Toff.
Anything else you’d like to add?
Look after each other.
