Define your genre in five words or less:
Funky urban folk.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Tons of energy and a few cheesy jokes. We’ll have a couple of very special guests at the album launch so there’ll be quite a few harmonising voices as well as some electric guitar and way too much fun being had on the stage.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We’re launching our brand new album Shiny New Toy. We had an amazing time making it, and ended up with something we’re all really happy with. Urban folk with a tipple of rock and pop thrown in for good measure!
When are you playing live/releasing your album/EP/single/etc?
Emma Wall & The Urban Folk launch their new album Shiny New Toy on Sunday November 11 at The Workers Club in Fitzroy. Doors open at 2.30pm with special guest Little Wise. It’s gonna be a hoot!
What’s the strangest place you’ve ever played a gig, or made a recording?
At a festival once the view from the stage was of people bungee jumping into a quarry. Quite hard to stay focused on the tunes!
Tell us about the last song you wrote.
One recently written song is called Daisy Chains. It’s on the new album, but was originally written as the theme song for a program called Art Building Children’s Dreams. They raise funds for orphans and under privileged kids through their art and help provide those kids with an education.
If someone made a movie about your life, who would play you?
Lauren would like to be played by Tina Fey, mostly because she feels a kinship with such astounding comedic timing. Bindy thinks Barbara Streisand would make a good match. Emma would like to be played by Lynda Carter – It’s all about the Wonder Woman/superhero thing. Oh, and the costume!
