Define your genre in five words or less:
Lyrical, melodic, alternative rock.
When’s the gig and with who?
Thursday March 14 at Revolver Upstairs. The Mere Poets will open the show followed by Oh Pacific. Ryan (guitar, vocals) grew up in country Victoria and the lads from Oh Pacific are from the same hometown. As far as we can tell it’s a complete coincidence we’re sharing the stage because the last time we saw them everyone was arrested.
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?
“Heeeeey I saw this great brand bhut I caan’t remembra the naamme… Witchitah or somethin’.”
Which band would you most like to have a battle/showdown with?
Look, we’re going to be obvious here because we’re not the toughest musos around and if it comes to a fight we’re gonna need a guaranteed win. So it would be hard to go past Ed Sheeran because there’s only one of him and five of us. Definitely not Oh Pacific anyway, they fight dirty.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
First you have to define ‘success’. When will you know you’ve ‘made it’? If you don’t figure that out first you’ll be forever chasing the unknown and will probably find it difficult to be satisfied. Honestly, the desire for ‘success’ can be the greatest writer’s block of all. Stay true and focused on the process of writing great music and forget the outcome. It’s the only way to stay friends with your music.
Do you have any record releases to date? What are they? Where can I get them?
We put out a self-titled album in June of last year. It’s available on iTunes, at gigs and for free if you rob my house. Try to guess where they are – you might be pleasantly surprised!
Why should everyone come and see your band?
Because we’ll really appreciate it and there’s always the slight chance they will too. Also, free beer!
Anything else to add?
Okay, sorry, no free beer.
