Define your genre in five words or less:

Grunge, laced with punk fuzz.

What can a punter expect from your live show?

Three peanuts swearing, head bangin’ and playing heavy tunes whilst swinging an incredibly large pair of balls…. Yeah, that’s about right.

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?

I soiled my panties watching Long Holiday. It felt good.

What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?

Our 12 track debut album Greetings From… is now available in stores and on iTunes.

How long have you been gigging and writing?

We have been writing for two years, gigging for one.

What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?

Work incredibly hard and try not to have a heroin addiction BEFORE being famous.

Why did you start writing music?

To fill a hole in the soul.

Do you have a pre-gig ritual? If so, what is it?

We slap each other around and then cover ourselves in ham.

If someone made a movie about your life, who would play you?

Molly Meldrum would play our drummer Marc, Genghis Khan would play our singer/guitarist Gina and Chaka Khan would play Andie our bass player.

What advice would you give to bands that are new on the Melbourne music scene?

We are kinda new, so we tell ourselves to SHUT THE F*** UP AND PLAY. Best Advice EVER.

When are you doing your thing next?

We are launching our debut album Greetings From… on Saturday August 3 at the Grace Darling Hotel with the most awesome Valentiine, System of Venus and Redfield. Come and get ya dose of balls.
