Define your genre in five words or less:
No-wave psych invasion.
What do you love about making music?
The wildly varying nature of songwriting going from the most complex, drawn out, mind bendingly intricate to the “here’s two chords and the job is done.” Also the whole recording process and one chord wig outs. Oh, and the giant hole in the ground we keep pouring the money into.
What do you hate about the music industry?
What’s happening to the riders?
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Massive square waves of fuzz guitar, taxman bass lines, caveman drums, sonic sounds, pedals galore, smoke machines, drone machines, projectors, big hair and good reverberations.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
Limited 7” single of Blow Up at the show this Saturday or you can download it from iTunes.
When’s the gig and with who?
The Blow Up single launch is at Yah Yahs this Saturday October 27 with the more than wonderful Fire Behaving As Air, Lunaire and Trappist Afterland Band. You will jump on the magic bus with a one way ticket to oblivion and you won’t care as we take you on a trip across the psychedelic spectrum! It’s free as.
Describe the worst gig you have ever played.
Went down to Tassie to do a couple of shows with the Whiskey Go Go’s a few years back and half of the band missed their flight to Launceston for the first show. Being the last flight of the day they had to fly to Hobart and hire a car to get there just in time for the show. Got very drunk waiting around chewing fingernails. Truly horrible playing when you can’t even see your guitar. Lots of clown shoes being worn that day.
What makes a good musician?
Knowing when not to play.
Where would you like to be in five years?
The future.
