Two live gigs you’ll never forget and why:
“At The Drive In 2000(?) Big Day Out, they came out and it was such a force. Rock music had been terminally bleeding for a few years and they kicked it in the head. I just sat there with a massive smile, it was chaos!
The Meanies, Tumbleweed and Nirvana at The Palace. Each band came out and blew my head off. I didn’t know what was going on, the distortion, the heaviness, the songs were so good. Nothing was the same for me after that.”
One day left before the apocalypse and you…:
“Stop answering these questions , get some good shit and watch the fireworks!”
