Q&A: Howard

Define your genre in five words or less: 

Folk rock meets psychedelia meets gypsy.

Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like? 
One of our friends once described our sound as if “Queen went to Hebrew school”.

When are you playing live/releasing your album/EP/single/etc? 
On Thursday June 6 we’re launching our debut EP at the Workers Club. $10 entry gets you a nice shiny CD.

What part of making music excites you the most?
It’s like planting the seed of a delicious vegetable in your garden, you can watch it grow and eventually eat it. From little things, big things grow.

What’s your favourite song, and why?
Green River by CCR. We all have our favourites but John Fogerty’s luscious locks braid our friendship together.

Do you have a pre-gig ritual? If so, what is it?
Go to Emma’s house for a fresh pot of coffee and a gossip.

How do you stop your pre-gig jitters?
When we’ve had too many coffees we start drinking beer.

Describe the worst gig you have ever played.
Our first show at Bar Open.  We felt like 12-year-old schoolboys not being able to stand up to answer a question because we had an erection.
