Define your genre in five words or less:
Psychocandy mind-bending noise punk.
What do you love about making music?
Always feeling the need to better yourself, find a new sound and create something new. The possibilities are never ending. If music was something with restrictions then it certainly wouldn’t last as long as it has.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We’re releasing our new EP Chameleon on Friday November 2. You can buy physical copies at our shows and through Bandcamp as well as digital on iTunes and Bandcamp.
How do you stop your pre-gig jitters?
Get on stage!
What advice would you give to bands that are new on the Melbourne music scene?
Listen to everything people say, but don’t take it to heart.
If you could go on tour with any musician or band, who would it be?
The Rolling Stones. Australian tour 2013 maybe? Just putting it out there Paul Dainty! Getting in nice and early.
How do you balance making and playing music with your other commitments?
Not very well. I believe it’s hard to do anything in life half-heartedly. Especially something that requires creative talent and perfected skills. It’s stressful trying to play in an independent band and financially support it (i.e. paying for releases, promo, tours etc) as well as work a separate job around that and then also continue your hobbies outside of music. The upside of it is, when you get something in return like a full room of applauding fans, a nice review or hearing your song on the radio for the first time then it makes it all worth it.
When’s the gig and with who?
We’re launching our EP this Friday November 2 at Ding Dong Lounge with special guests The Messengers and The Dark Fair.
