Define your genre in five words or less:
Southern Psychedelic Horror Blues Rock.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
A whirlwind of fury. Beer down the front of their shirts. Unknown liquids on the back of their shirts. Confusion. A bloody good time. Free popcorn and the utmost sense of satisfaction.
When’s the gig and with who?
We launch the new animated video clip to our song Simon Young at The Tote this Friday July 6. Playing alongside us are the three incredible outfits King Of The North, BATPISS and My Left Boot.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
Good beer, great times, entertaining live acts, girls, great rock and roll bands of the past and present.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
Play music of a high standard that can be enjoyed by large amount of people. Have influential people on their side. Be in the right place at the right time. Have a hell of a lot of patience as I’m sure it’s a bloody hard slog to get there and it certainly isn’t going to happen overnight.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
We released our debut EP in April. It’s available at gigs: why, you could even grab one this Friday at The Tote! Failing that, go wrangle yourself a copy at Polyester Records in Flinders Lane, Missing Link on Bourke Street, Polyester Records on Brunswick Street, Broken Glass Records in Collingwood or Thornbury Records on High Street.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
Because they should be out there supporting live music at every opportunity they get and they’ll be hard pressed to find a better line up this Friday evening. The ‘My Left Boot, BATPISS, King Of The North and Sheriff combination’, along with other shenanigans that will take place on Friday at the Tote, is set to explode in one magical and unforgettable evening.
Anything else to add?
Get your arse down to The Tote for the Sheriff Simon Young video launch this Friday night! There’s going to be free popcorn. Check out the teaser trailer at www.sherifftheband.com.au.
