Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
Panty droppin’, cherry poppin’, heart stoppin’ mother lickin’ garage soul.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Wild dancing and a crazy horn section. And free drinks. And hot ladies everywhere.
What’s your favourite song, and why?
We are loving JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound, Baltimore is the New Brooklyn. It’s a rockin’ garage tune with an awesome video clip – you know it’s a good clip when there are dancing bananas/Fidel Castros.
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?
Nothing, they are in a soul coma.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
Quality garage soul and R&B – Dirtbombs, MC5, The Stooges, The Small Faces. And some Otis Redding, Gil Scott Heron and Betty Davis thrown in for good measure.
Where would you like to be in five years?
All of our records will be in the Coburg Library, a Perfections mosaic will be installed at the bottom of the Coburg Olympic Pool and we’ll get keys to the city. And we will have made a fuck-tonne of amazing vinyls.
What is the highlight of your set?
The crazy eight minute, dance frenzied, drum and guitar solo in our German-spoken version of Hendrix’s Fire or our epic horn section blasting the shit out of Know Your Product.
When are you playing live/releasing your album/EP/single/etc?
We’ve got a stack of sweet 10” EPs pressed and ready for our launch on Saturday December 15 at The Grace Darling (perfections.bandcamp.com). We are playing with Major Tom and The Atoms, The Charlies and The 7Ups. Don’t even bother wearing shoes, y’all wear them out from the insane dancing! Not bad for $12.
