Q&A: Oh Pep!

ohppp.jpeg

Describe your sound in five words or less:

Folk/pop.

What can a punter expect from your live show?

A five-piece wave of energy delivering songs of the sea.  

When’s the gig and with who?

Thursday September 6. We’re playing The Toff with Canary and Staffan’s Songs (Francolin). 8pm, $8. Fun Fact: Canary and Francolin are both types of birds. 

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?

“Hey, I just saw the kid from the movie Hugo playing fiddle in that band!” (Pepi has a uncanny resemblance to actor Asa Butterfield.)

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

Pepi would be played by Asa Butterfield, Liv would be played by Pepi Emmerichs (as no one knows Liv better and she’s in that film Where the Wild Things Are). As for the boys, Stu (Brad Pitt), Jus (Jude Law) and Paddy (Ryan Gosling).

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

Somehow Liv’s mum would make a pizza-flavoured, balsamic tinged, gluten-free chocolate bar that would taste great… and why? Because Liv’s mum can.  

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

Paul Kelly, Ryan Adams, Crooked Jades, Crooked Still, Punch Brothers, Ben Sollee, Arcade Fire, Elbow… And in another life Johnny Cash. 

How do you balance making and playing music with your other commitments?
