Ten bands everyone should know about:
The Homosexuals, R. Stevie Moore, See Saw, Morbid Angel, Chicago, Gutter Gods, Alternative TV, Bored Games, The No Real Need.
Nine food items that you need to make a kickarse dinner party:
Corn, avocado, corn chips, salsa, red kidney beans, refried beans, sour cream, Jalapeños and cheese.
Eight possessions that define you:
Flannel shirts, records, Dr. Martens, recording gear, cans of beans, Coles greenbags, the rocking chair on the back porch.
Seven favourite movies/TV shows that go on your mix-tape:
Braindead, The Shining, Evil Dead, Ren and Stimpy, Wake in Fright (I just saw that recently but thought it was very good), The Last Waltz, Yellow Submarine.
Six bad habits you can’t escape:
Biting fingernails, drinking too much, saying stupid things, not touching on or off my myki, leaving things to the last minute, double booking.
Five people who inspire you:
Fuj (of White Walls fame), the other Stevens (past and present), Mikey Young, Pete Bramley, Robert Pollard.
Four things that turn you on:
Fuj (of white walls fame), metal, toasted baked beans and cheese sandwiches, cans of Coke.
Three goals for your music:
To appear on 7mate, to play a show at The Big Banana in Coffs Harbour, to keep rocking forever.
Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why:
Devo – the first time I saw them, I think it was at Festival Hall, because I couldn’t believe I was seeing Devo. And, Devo the second time I saw them, because I couldn’t believe I was seeing Devo again. Also, Energy Domes had doubled in price since the first time I had seen them, and my income had halved so I remain domeless.
One day left before the apocalypse and you…
Watch 2012 with Travis and Gus again.
When’s the gig/release?
The 7″ is out now on Chapter Music; it’s being launched at the Tote this Friday May 17 with our buddies Full Ugly and Love of Diagrams.
