Q&A: Husk

husk.jpg

Define your genre in five words or less:

Funky progressive rock.

Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?

Well we grew up in the ’90s So you can hear an influence there, we’re mainly progressive hard rock with some funk and world music infusion and the crowd can go from a mosh to swingin’ theirs hips in moments.

When’s the gig and with who?

It’s Friday March 8 with Dead Letter Circus at The  Middle aka the Ferntree Gully Hotel.

What can a punter expect from your live show?

You will be engaged in a high energy performance that will leave at least one end of your undies messy ….maybe both.

Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?

Yeah we have one released already, you can grab it at huskband.com or at our shows, we’ve just finished our second and it’s already had three songs in the top five on triple j’s Unearthed, you can expect that midyear.

If you could go on tour with any musician or band, who would it be?

For me personally it’d be Tool or Pink Floyd before they split cause they’re like idols, but then again acts Shpongle and RHCP would be heaps of fun to tour with.

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

A Snickers because although we’re nuts, we’re silky smooth like caramel and at the end of the day we’re mostly milky nougat and some creamy brown chocolate love.

When are you doing your thing next?

We’re pretty busy doing a gig a week these days. We’ve got a show at the Central Club with THEY on Saturday March 23 and we’re playing local nightclub Kate’s Party at the barn in Bayswater on the Friday March 29. We’re also doing a VIP CD launch at the Panton Hill Hotel on Saturday April 13 and a Suicide Prevention Event on Friday April 5 with the Croydon council and youth group.
