Festival name:
Drunken Moon Festival
Define the vibe of the festival in a few words:
Rockin’ bluesabilly filth torque action.
What bands are playing?
Brothers Grim, Midnight Woolf, Kira Puru and the Bruise, Mother and Son, Little Bastard, Gruntbucket, Papa Pilko and the Binrats, Frank Sultana and the Sinister Kids.
What do these bands have in common?
They are all amazing performers, are influenced by the best elements of rock, blues and garage and combined they would make a dynamite soundtrack for an Ozploitation muscle car slasher film.
How did you choose the bands?
They had to be exceptional performers and exemplify the growing movement of blues inspired bands. Plus I wanted the Melbourne DM to have interstate imports that you won’t have seen before but you’ll wish you had!
If you could travel back in time and pick two musical heroes for the lineup, who would they be and why?
Rose Tattoo for their pure tenacity of spirit and The Loved Ones because they understood how to put the sex in their blues.
What is the best thing about putting on a boutique festival?
The fact that you have complete licence to pick the bands that you feel best represent what Drunken Moon stands for.
What does Drunken Moon stand for?
Pure live spectacle.
So, someone is watching these bands, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you… what do they say?
Nothing, they just stand side by side for 2.1 seconds before both pushing back to the front of the stage gain.
Why should anyone go to this festival?
Because I would if I was you.
When is it?
This Sunday September 2 at the Corner Hotel, 6pm ’til 12pm.
Anything else to add?
Stay tight. Loud. Proud.
