Define your genre in five words or less:
Epic as f*ck pop rock.
What do you love about making music?
Being able to connect with so many different kinds of people.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
Michael Jackson. I used to emulate his dance moves and went from being bullied to the most popular kid in primary school just for being able to do the moonwalk. Epic!
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Plenty of jokes about my height, plenty of sing-alongs, smoke machines, some stories about love lost and song tracks you can swing to.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
We’re about to release our debut album Underneath The Overturned. It drops December 7.
When’s the gig and with who?
We’re playing Spencer’s Live on Friday December 7 with our mates The Sunsleepers, Bendigo lads, Grand Perceptor, our mates from BNE, The Aerials and some young local kids Red Attraction.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
Create your own luck and keep your ear to the phone. Network, be real and surround yourself with good people.
Describe the best gig you have ever played.
2010, sold out show at Araneta Colisseum in the Philippines. We were on tour with a US band and I still can hear the sound of the 18,000 strong crowd in my ears. Greatest moment of my life!
Describe the worst gig you have ever played.
2011 Fuse Festival in Adelaide. We played after this really popular local band and after they finished, we watched the venue go from being packed to the rafters to empty in five minutes. We played to our manager and the sound guy. That really sucked and was a tough moment for us as a band.
What’s your favourite song, and why?
The Dangerous Summer – Where I Want To Be. That song was the anthem of our 2010 tour of the Philippines. It’s even more special because we loved this band so much we flew out their producer to make our record.
