Define your genre in five words or less:
Indie folk pop
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
Herb Albert meets PJ Harvey at Daniel Johnston’s House.
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?
Is that a trumpet or a clarinet? What sort of guitar is that? They sound like the B-52s crossed with….I need another beer.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
Keep your mind open. Also, make a cute film clip – check out our Holy Roll clip on YouTube, what fun.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
Just released our newy, Holy Roll, through Vitamin Records. Also at record stores and online.
Why should everyone come and see your band?
Everyone should because that would be a world record. I’m sure we have that much love to share.
When are you playing live/releasing your album?
Our Melbourne album launch is at The Empress, North Fitzroy Sunday August 4 at 3pm. We’re excited to have Ash Naylor and Kasper opening the show. We’ll have our Holy Roll band with the amazing Ross McLennan on Bass, Bruce Hames on the keys and Jordan Murray on Trombone.
What part of making music excites you the most?
Writing and performing your own songs and see people liking them – nothing beats that.
What’s the strangest place you’ve ever played a gig, or made a recording?
Tasmania, where someone told us God sent them to see us.
What’s your favourite song, and why? Songs are like children – you can’t have favourites, even if they’re naughty.
How do you balance making and playing music with your other commitments? We really have to make time but have learnt that all those other things are essential and influence our playing and writing. Music’s addictive; it beckons us, we are its obedient slaves.
