Q&A: Howlin Steam Train

Define your genre in five words or less:

Rock’n’roll.

 

If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it and why?

This is a horrible question! Why would you even ask this? Kill someone, really? If you are expecting an answer like Justin Bieber then you are barking up the wrong tree lady. Far out guys. Next question. 

Tell us about the last song you wrote.

It goes “dunna DUN, dunna DUN, dunna DUUUN… duna duna duna duuuuuu”. It is so much fun to play and we love turning it into this weird extended jam thing. 

If your music was a chocolate bar, which one would it be, and why?

Remember when Homer daydreams about the land of chocolate, then prances around, bites a light pole, chocolate dog and gets excited about chocolate being on sale? For us it’s a bit like that.

So, someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you… what do they say?

Brian: “Hey Ron, who are these guys?”

Ron: “Why, it’s Howlin’ Steam Train of course”. 

Brian then proceeds to head into the bathroom and weep on the cubicle floor whilst listening to the rest of the set. 

When’s the gig and with who?

Ding Dong. Saturday March 2. The Pretty Littles and The Temple of Tunes. Our drummer Yan’s dad’s band is T.O.T. Thanks for the support dad!
