Describe your sound in five words or less:
Post trip-hop experimental pop electronica.
Tell us why you love St Kilda:
I love St Kilda because it is right next door to the East St Kilda/Balaclava area, which is known by some cultures as Shambala or Shangri-la.
Favourite bar or pub in St Kilda?
Claypots have nailed what a bar should be. My liver tingles in a mix of nervous fear and anticipation every time I enter that bar. I go there to hear amazing musicians and the food and drinks are great. Ernest Hemingway would have loved this place.
Favourite place to eat in St Kilda?
En Izakaya In St Kilda East. Seriously mind blowing Japanese food.
Who is your favourite band on the St Kilda Festival lineup?
That is a tough question. It is hard to decide between Hiatus Kaiyote and Grey Ghost. Both acts are pushing at something different and original. It is always awesome to hear people write great songs whiles tweaking the living daylights out of the structures within the music.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
I am previewing some new songs off my next album that feature guest vocalist Tali Gal-on. The new material is a bit of a change in direction for my music. I am pretty excited about performing the new tunes live and see how the audience reacts.
What advice would you give to bands that are new on the Melbourne scene?
In the words of Napoleon Dynamite: “Just follow your heart. That’s what I do.”
Where are you playing and when?
I am playing at Iddy Biddy on Wednesday February 6. Start time is 9pm. Free entry. See ya there.
