Define your genre in five words or less:
I’ll get back to you.
What do you hate about the music industry?
A lot of music now sounds like airplane food. The guy in the kitchen really doesn’t care if you love his calamari – to him it’s just order number 18.
What do you think a band has to do these days to succeed?
What they want. Success isn’t about getting in Rolling Stone or getting on a major label, it’s about sweating it out and loving your music.
What makes you happiest about what you’re doing?
We get to travel this great country of ours and meet many people from a lot of different places. It’s enjoyable visiting an array of places from inner/outer-city suburbs to remote country towns.
What’s your favourite song, and why?
Today my favourite song is Mommy, What’s a Funkadelic? by Funkadelic and yesterday it was An Ending by Brian Eno. It’s always changing. I’m trying not to listen to a piece of music more than once now, listening to something again and again tends to influence your own music which I’m trying to move away from.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
Our album Somewhere Elsewhere is being released nationally on Friday October 19.
Anything else to add?
Yes. Hello to all the amazing and wonderful kids at Williamstown Primary School – especially those who are in grade 5/6 G. You guys rock!
