When’s the gig and with who?
It’s this Friday October 12 at the Grace Darling with The Red Lights and a Gold Coast band called Oceanics. We’ve just released our debut album, and it might be a while before we get back to Melbourne.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
Write good music, and remain unique. It’s always been hard to get noticed in the music industry, but the introduction of the internet and everything associated with it allows bands to reach people instantly which is incredible.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
We only just released Holy Drunken Fisherman which came out on October 5. It’s up on iTunes, at record shops, or come and say hello at our show this week and it’s yours.
Describe the best gig you have ever played.
Some of the shows we did earlier in the year with Big Scary were a lot of fun – getting to play to a full room in Perth was a great experience and something we wouldn’t have been able to do if it was our own show. Also playing Laneway and Big Day Out over the last few years weren’t bad either.
Describe the worst gig you have ever played.
We played at an outdoor mini festival in Adelaide quite a while back. It was terribly run, no one came, it started raining and since there was no roof over the stage all our gear was getting soaked. Then the power cut off halfway through our third song. And we got paid $20.
